Folks have been asking, but I’m here to tell you that there is no news on the HaidaBucks Cafe situation. Last time we looked at this story, HaidaBucks had asked Starbucks to basically stop lying to its customers.

I sent a note to Starbucks about that debacle, and haven’t heard anything back from them. Customer Relations suddenly disappears when your company starts lying to people.

HaidaBucks wants an apology, which seems reasonable, and Starbucks has not been forthcoming with that.

So the absolute latest on this situation is, in the words of one of the HaidaBucks guys, “Starbucks is still trying to wish the whole thing away. Should have news soon.”

Anyway, I’m still forgoing Seattle based lattes in favour of independant coffee shops, and I haven’t been disappointed yet.
