You hate Starbucks with a vengeance. But who’s to blame, really? Well, tonight on Biography, “Howard Schultz and Starbucks” (9 p.m. EDT on Biography) tells the story of how Starbucks chairman Schultz transformed a company that sold coffee beans into a ubiquitous global menace, with 13,000 stores in 39 countries. Is Schultz a brilliant entrepreneur or a diabolical genius? And is he the one who dreamed up the pretentiously moronic Tall-Grande-Venti nomenclature?
