ummm.. he was not fired for it but that does not equal not related. He had already resigned and knew that— so he figured he could do whatever he wanted, with no regards for the company..
That’s not true.
Wouldnt buy Starbucks even if the supported Trump. Their coffee smells and tastes like shit
I've had it with the deliberate dilution of our American culture that worked so well and created the great success that is the USA.
Oh, please! How about we get real and stop acting like the DUers did with the Madcow Trump tax return fiasco, where they were drooling all over themselves that she had some real dirt on Trump and instead ended up with egg all over their faces.
By the way, Schultz is still chairman of Starbucks.
I don’t mind fooling the left, but let’s not fool ourselves.
Well said!
The rumor is he's prepping to run for President on the Democrat ticket.
“The rumor is he’s prepping to run for President on the Democrat ticket.”
Wouldn’t be surprised.
Titanic deckchair rearangement plan.
He will *Not* be missed!
“Their coffee smells and tastes like shit.”
Burnt s___, at that.
Uhhh...depends on your taste buds. I drink their espresso occasionally and definitely like it.
Too late. I’ve found better places to buy coffee—not run by stupid people.
Howard Schultz wants to run for president.
And America will still run on Dunkin!
Yes, and their coffee sucks as well! The windfall of their branding has worn off in a highly competitive market!
LOL! No staying power to leftist catamites.
