Good for Starbucks. I am in my local Starbucks on an almost daily basis.

I had noticed the staff was representative of the world - old/young, black/brown/Asian, male/female, gay/straight (whatever), an employee who is handicapped and usually one or two of the women are rather pregnant.

One day I asked for the manager. He came from the back and I could tell he thought I was going to complain about something. Instead I complimented him and told him the very diverse staff had not gone unnoticed. He was so pleased (and proud) and said that no customer had ever commented on it before.

If I go in early in the day when he is working the front he insists on comping my beverage.
