Starbucks Runs Into Water Waste Controversy

Published October 14, 2008

Constantly Running Water

To run taps in all food serving establishement is a requirement by Health Department. This has been a requirement since time immemorial. You should see kitchens behind the big restaurants. I used to work in a Hotel/Casino Resort and I've seen this wasteful practice.
Just go to a nearby Panda Express restaurant and see the taps continuously flowing from across the food-ordering line.
I agree, this requirement has to be revisited.

It seems that Starbucks order to turn the taps off has not reached their stores in Brazil: a couple of days ago I saw one of these taps running non-stop in a Starbucks store in the city of São Paulo...
