I spent $2.00 bills at Starbucks today
I don't expect everyone on my flist to appreciate this.

Every time I go to Starbucks, I say "I'd like a small chai latte."
The clerk says, "Do you want a tall?"
And I say, "If that's a small, then yes."
I really don't care for Tazo chai. I find it weak and uninteresting and therefore, generally do not buy anything from Starbucks. However, I went to the bank and got my $2 bills. I took TEO with me, since she does like something there, but she gets the medium (You mean the grande?) whatever-she-likes. In the end, it was probably not a big impact on the Starbucks bottom line, but it's something. I like a "buycott" as it's a positive way to influence than a boycott. Will it overcome the boycott losses for the day at Starbucks? No idea, nor do I expect Starbucks to make any announcement either way. They want to keep their heads down on this one, I'm sure.
In the end, I had a small, boring chai latte and feel a bit better.
