The poo poo I suddenly remembered here is the language used tho, getting Evil Bernie vibes from the appropriated populism

Howard Schultz decided to give all Starbucks employees a holiday gift and decided on $3.50 gift certificates

Starbucks didn't make any gift certificates of less than $5

rather than give everyone a $5 gift certificate he had $3.50 gift certificates manufactured for the occasion
