Wow. I've never really thought about it before, but this video points out that every single one of the Starbucks stores (and many others I'm sure) around the world leaves their water running all day and night just so they can have quick access to a clean spoon. What an unbelievable waste of water.

Good to know Starbucks cares about the environment, I'm going to go get an espresso right now, I think I'll drive myself over in my Hummer.

I've seen the stats, running an Sbux is a very energy and water intensive operation.

Our city provides efficient sprayer heads at reduced cost to restaurants, one of many water saving measures.

"From promoting conservation in coffee-growing countries to in-store “Green Teams” and recycling programs, Starbucks has established high standards for environmental responsibility.

By taking steps to reduce waste from our operations and recycle, we can preserve the earth’s natural resources and enhance the quality of lives around the globe. Starbucks actively seeks opportunities to minimise our environmental impact."

Very wasteful, although the music is a tad overdramatic.

Just cause I like talking up Australia given any chance:

"But staff at Melbourne's Swanston St store, one of the few left in Victoria, said taps weren't left on, and denied the practice had ever been employed. "That's never happened here. We don't waste water," the store manager said."

Yeah. It is difficult to comply with certain health and safety laws while being environmentally friendly. They could use a different spoon each time, but that would dramatically increase the time they're running a dishwasher. Which means they're using a lot more electricity and water while putting detergent into the sewer system. Or they could use disposable spoons, which has obvious drawbacks.
