Except I'm not now and never will be hip no matter how much prized java I consume (and seen consuming). Glug, glug.
In response to “#racetogether” here are mine:

venti white mocha...only $4.75! For 20 ounces!
I don’t drink coffee but I was in a highway rest stop plaza the other day with an aunt who wanted a double shot espresso and they had a Tim Horton’s which had a huge lineup and a deserted Starbucks. So I decided to use the Starbucks and got the espresso for double the price Tim Horton’s charges. No writing on it but I think Canadian Starbucks are being spared this latest idiocy.
On the bright side, they've been more reasonable on guns than many of their ilk.
I bought a machine that makes espresso/latte/cappuccino and can have such treats at will. Had it 1-1/2 years and it has probably already paid for itself . I do patronize a coffee house that is owned by a Christian man and is a hangout for a lot of good folks.
I dislike a lot about Starbucks but will fess up to buying one of their products every 8 months or so depending on the situation and my desire for a fast fix...
I would have written “you have to squeeze one more drop” on the cup!
Starbucks is one of the most elitist-better than thou corporations on the planet. They choose their sites carefully to keep that image.
They want to do something about race relations? How about adapting some Starbucks so they can be economically successful restaurants in minority inner city locations. Maybe they could start at locations such as East 93rd and Harvard in Cleveland, for instance.
If they don't want to improve on their own elitist location choices, they should SHUT UP.
I went to Starbucks yesterday. Nobody wrote anything on my cup like that.

Good morning sir! I never drank coffee until I got out of college and moved to South Florida. Could not stand the stuff. Then I met a load of South Americans, Brasilians and Colombians and over the years I got hooked. It seemed that visiting some of our new friends they always wanted to share a cup of their favorite coffee they brought with them or found locally in a foreign goods store. That got me started...
This was not cover the stuff with syrup and goo to hide the flavor of the beans Starbucks crap. It was this grew on a mountain near my house, this is from my grandmothers plantation, this is from a region that specializes in this type of bean coffee. The varieties were endless and the flavors were nothing short of amazing.
Later, I started to roast for a hobby. To this day it’s like making homemade candy that’s far more flavorful and rewarding than any generic chain could hope to approach.
I could go on about the fun times with the people, my wife and friends “down South” but suffice to say the pleasure that the coffee on its own has provided has contributed greatly to the overall quality of my life. Small things, I suppose but tremendous pleasure.
Cheers...
Notice how huge, multi-billion dollar deep-pockets corporations like Starbucks and McDonalds (McDonalds has their “365Black” website/PR campaign) engage in all these pandering marketing efforts just to run pre-emptive race-grievance interference in order to try to indemnify themselves from the inevitable cavalcade of shakedown lawsuits by blacks?
What do you mean, you won’t wear the ribbon?
You must wear the ribbon!

I like their coffee but I prefer my own. Fortunately, mine comes in a cup without some pushy idiot’s political beliefs written on it.
