I'm getting $500 this Thursday to cover my down payment. Starbucks has this CUP Fund thing that is for partners who experience financial needs beyond their means due to circumstances beyond their control. Actually, I donate $3 from every paycheck to the CUP Fund, and I'm glad. Even when things are bad, I always figure there's someone out there who could use that $3 more than I could.
Now, I am that person. I faxed my application today, explaining my ridiculous car situation. They called back within two hours.
And that, my friends, is why I woke up at 3:15 this morning to go to work in Manchester. It's nice to respect your employer.

That's a really great thing for Starbucks to do. The state does a similar thing where employees can contribute their unused sick days to a general fund that other people can use.
