There is a company called SpinaliS that makes these crazy spring-based ergo chairs for 'active sitting'. I tried them in the showroom near my work in Warsaw and rhey seemed to cause some relief in spine muscle fatigue. I'll be doing a 5-day trial with a leased chair some time soon to see if it works as a full-time chair. A bit expensive tho. Company itself seems to be from Ljubljana, (of kors, and so on and so on).
You make it sound like those poor people at Starbucks have no choice but to please the masses, even at the cost of going bankrupt. I think this is just a boundary of their business model. But maybe bending over and passing a flimsy paper cup full of boiling water through a small window directly above someone's dick is just not a great way to make money, and it was a matter of time until it was litigated away from the market. Maybe another chain can find a safe way to do this and drive starbucks out of business, you know, innovate. Coldbrew tea, better cup, a tray with a stable center of mass, fill your own cup, whatever.
You are special, like it or not :)
