    It's a stretch, but it did make Starbucks apologize and take down the ad.

    Oh and that was post-9/11. Just noticed that.

    Starbucks also charged ambulance workers at Ground Zero that day $130 for water. Pretty F'd up

    It was a controversy at the time and Starbucks pulled this add campaign because of the likeness.

    Why was that Starbucks still open for business after the attacks? You would think that they would shut down, no?

    Yup. And I can point to a handful of grass fields (or Moo-Moo's car wash) that used to be gas station. Not no mo'.
