\nQuote – On a chilly recent morning, customers inside a Starbucks in New York City\u2019s midtown were doing what you\u2019d expect: buying coffee, warming up, chatting. But one person was moving through the store with a different purpose: she first approached a woman standing near the door, and then another man seated with a cup of coffee, saying hello, asking how they were and offering them gloves, hats and handwarmers.
\nCLick through for story.<\/a> Starbucks is not exactly the first corporation I would think of when it comes to empathy, or to positive innovation. But sometimes corporations, like people, will surprise me.<\/p>\n
