That cup is racist. The “Starbucks Woman” is white and wearing green - traditional Irish for St. Patrick’s Day. They are excluding all other skin tones.
Its what I love about twitter. They’re pretty hands off about these things and liberals get an endless beating at the hands of their own stupidity.
Interesting how most don’t want to talk _with_ others about it, just talk _at_ others about it.
Yeah they say they want a “conversation” about race but what they really want is to lecture about race.
Following the feed, seems sentiment is running about 1000:1 against SBX.
What is the over/under before Starbucks realizes this is orders of magnitude than the McDonalds Luvin It campaign and throws in the towel? Starbucks is getting blasted by both sides.
I’ve never understood how they do it, but Starbux is a profit powerhouse. Selling a Camry at a Lexus price is pure genius.
See post #2. Didn’t take long. Problem here is customer momentum: it’s gone viral, people are running with it, and there’s no way for SBX to shut it off.
...just checked @Starbucks on Twitter, and they’re still posting in defense of the campaign within the last hour.
I’ll “race” to the nearest Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and forswear Starbucks.
this is NEGATIVE advertising.
It has the effect of driving away customers.
Who will be the first competitor to advertise:
“Good Coffee, No BS)
