			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://starbucksgossip.typepad.com/_/"><strong>Starbucks Gossip</strong></a> has spotted a couple of stories of note on Seattle&#8217;s coffee giant:</p>
<p>The first one is about a former 7-year employee at a Sherman, TX, store who says he was fired because managers <a href="http://starbucksgossip.typepad.com/_/2010/02/veteran-starbucks-employee-says-he-was-fired-because-managers-didnt-like-his-tattoos.html"><strong>didn&#8217;t like his tattoos</strong></a>. The first commenter: &#8220;Ummm, wouldn&#8217;t 43% of their workforce need to be fired if tattoos mattered?&#8221;</p>
<p>The second one is about a homeless guy who <a href="http://starbucksgossip.typepad.com/_/2010/02/update-homeless-man-pleads-guilty-to-throwing-hot-coffee-in-starbucks-baristas-face.html"><strong>threw coffee at a Starbucks employee</strong></a>, scalding her with first- and second-degree burns. It links to a story in suburban Chicago&#8217;s Daily Herald, a paper I worked for, ummm, more than a few years ago.</p>
