Eight years ago I would have challenged that, today, not at all.
I was given Starbucks cards by my sons in 2006, and predictably, I became hooked and actually enjoy my drink of choice.
But I was always irritated by the "holier than thou" attitude of company management who basked in the glory of a very charitable and "green" company, at their customers expense, without their consent.
Now they have spent millions$ to mollify the black thug culture and their implicit threat of violence blackmail, and I have reached by limit.
A several hundred percent increase in the cost of my drink of choice since 2006 has reached the tipping point, and they can continue their virtue signaling* without me. If I could give up cigarettes, I can certainly give up overpriced coffee!
Good luck, Starbucks, it's been nice while your scam lasted. I'm out of there.
*Virtue signalling is the conspicuous expression of moral values done primarily with the intent of enhancing standing within a social group [or society as a whole.
The term was first used in signalling theory, to describe any behavior that could be used to signal virtue—especially piety among the religious. In recent years, the term has become more commonly used as a pejorative characterization by commentators to criticize what they regard as empty, or superficial support of certain political [or social] views, and also used within groups to criticize their own members for valuing outward appearance over substantive action.[at the expense of others]
Try Silver Bridge Coffee (if you can find it). Many different blends and I think better than Starbucks.
