Theres no conundrum for me. I won't go there. 1. They make rubbish coffee. 2. They pay no tax in my country.
When they pay no tax, they have an unfair anticompetitive advantage against businesses that do. Other taxpayers have to make up the balance.
The fact they are now gifting a fraction back and looking of kudos just vexes me more.
