Liberty Mutual, the insurance company, is the sponsor of "The Responsibility Project," a multimedia effort to get people to consider what it means to do the right thing. The project was spawned by the overwhelming public response to a Liberty Mutual commercial -- you've probably seen it -- in which a Chain of strangers in some urban setting do nice things for each other without recognition. The "nice things" are mostly small acts of courtesy -- we're talking moving a stranger's Coffee cup away from the edge of a table so that it doesn't fall off, opening a door, keeping a van from backing into a motorcycle. Not world-changing acts here. Yet the argument of the commercial, apart from "buy Liberty Mutual," is that these chains of small acts of kindness have big results. With Hem's weepy song "Half an Acre" playing in the background and city-dwellers pausing in contemplation of an unexpected kindness, wistful looks in their eyes, the commercial probably elicits a groan from the cynical and a tear from the sentimental. Or, if you're like me, a tear followed by a groan. That was the seed. The flower is a website with numerous short films exploring the issues of responsibility, obligation, community, and, yes, serendipity. The website reads, "We believe that the more people think and talk about responsibility, and even debate what it means, the more it can affect how we live our daily lives. And perhaps, in this small way, together, we can ... Source: www.baltimoresun.com --- 9 days ago

Filed under: Starbucks (SBUX) , Employees In the face of a tough economy, a weak stock price, and formidable competition from lower cost Coffee sellers like Dunkin' Donuts and McDonald's (NYSE: MCD ), The Wall Street Journal reports (subscription required) that Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX ) is taking steps to bring down its labor costs. The idea is to have fewer workers working more hours, with an eye toward making more of the baristas full-time, working 32 hours or more per week. The Industrial Workers of the World, a labor union that has been trying to make inroads at the Chain, complains that the new system does not guarantee that workers will actually receive those hours. The idea is that cost savings will come from lower employee turnover and reduced training expenses. Because Starbucks already offers generous benefits packages to its part-time workers, the cost increases on that side will likely be minimal. More importantly though, the move will deliver a more consistent experience for customers, with more knowledge full-time, familiar faces serving Coffee.

Filed under: Bad news , Launches , Starbucks (SBUX) , McDonald's (MCD) , Financial Crisis According to AdAge, McDonald's (NYSE: MCD ) broadside at the battleship Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX ) has been delayed by the credit crunch. The Chain's plans to build Coffee bars in its 14,000+ locations won't meet its previous deadline of April 2009. The delay means the ad campaign planned to accompany it will also be postponed, to the disappointment of the media world. The magazine reports that in an internal memo the company explains that the program it runs through Bank of America to loan franchisees development funds has been tapped out earlier than expected. Franchisees are expected to resort to local funding sources for operational and development loans, in the short term. The Coffee bars are expected to cost each outlet around $100,000. A later launch could result in the bars landing in the hot summer months, not prime time for Coffee drinks. Too bad for McDonald's, since the economic uncertainty of the moment would provide a wonderful marketing platform for lower-cost, boutique coffees. Perhaps the government will include a little taste of TARP money to compensate Mickey D's for this loss of business. Crazier ideas have been floated. Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments ...

Actually, unsnobbycoffee.com is the website for McDonalds' new ad campaign. "McDonald's has made it simple and easy to get the delicious espresso drinks you crave. No crazy names or sizes. No second language required. So hang out and have some fun." What? McDonald's wants to be a Coffee house? Continue reading Snobby Coffee intervention Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments ...
