A drop 3-4 times more steep would have served him & the company right.

Their coffee just isn’t “all that”.

Target also has taken a huge hit when they went cross dresser bathrooms last year.

The CEOs of these companies should be FIRED. Costing your company billions of dollars in worth because you can’t keep your political views quiet = reason to FIRE these a-holes.

Target lost FIFTEEN BILLION in value.

Aren’t these companies interested in money? Fire the CEO who screwed up and move on.

In addition Starbucks’ remodeling in stores has given them a sterilized Spartan feel. Tables, o chairs etc uncomfortable. Crowded with people too cheap to pay for their internet connection. And for this we are allowed to pay a small fortune.

How significant is a 1.3% decrease? That doesn’t sound like much for Starbucks to worry about.

Here’s what would get me to purchase occasionally foul-tasting Starbucks muck: They could pledge to only hire only US citizens in the US stores. And they could promise to have at least one veteran employed in every store, every shift.

Leftist and virtue signaling companies can go straight to hell.

Please CEO’s make your beliefs known so I can boycott your products and encourage others to do the same.

F starbucks.

Their ‘brand’ lost 24% in value. Not sure how that’s measured - public perception.

The NFL lost 10% of its viewers last year and ESPN is losing 400,000+ customers a month.

Why are there no consequences? If this were any other bad business decision, the idiots would be fired and replaced.

If it’s a PC decision, they’re bulletproof? Weird.

Muslims HATE and kill dogs, beat/kill/hide women, throw gays off buildings, and have sexual pleasure removed from girls/women.

And they are now eating infidels.

I agree. Starbucks has too much of a bitter/burnt taste.

CNBC is reporting this morning that many CEO’s are considering running for president since The Donald has accomplished it “without political experience”.
Howard Schultz is considered a front runner on the Dim side.
