Why?  Only they can answer.  How?

Here are two examples:

1. No sense of humor and a litigious tendency:

2. Starbucks tried to charge paramedics for water while they were 
attempting
to help victims on Sept. 11:

Normally I give everyone three chances.  In this case I made an exception -

That said, one should wear a Consumer Whore t-shirt whenever possible, and
into a Starbucks as many times as possible.
