WASHINGTON (WABC) -- Starbucks says it will hire 10,000 refugees over the next five years, a response to President Donald Trump's indefinite suspension of Syrian refugees and temporary travel bans that apply to six other Muslim-majority nations.

The move sparked calls for a boycott, and on Monday morning, #BoycottStarbucks was the top trend on Twitter.

Howard Schultz, the coffee retailer's chairman and CEO, said in a letter to employees Sunday that the hiring would apply to stores worldwide and the effort would start in the United States where the focus would be on hiring immigrants "who have served with U.S. troops as interpreters and support personnel."

I never go there anyway, but I will not destroy the Starbuck gift cards someone gave me as Christmas presents. I won’t spend any money there, mine or someone elses.

Starbucks coffee is vile - like a big cup of burnt.

If their product wasn’t already crap I would boycott Charbucks

Better alternatives to Starbucks!...cheaper too...

You could buy Caribou and brew it near a tire fire.

I don’t think so.

Never cared for their elitist coffee. Most is over roasted like burnt toast. Give me smooth Walmart Columbian coffee any day for pennies a cup.

Please consider ordering this excellent coffee...delivered to your home, its a Veteran owned company. Let’s spread this across Free Republic and beyond...put Starbucks out of biz.

Star... What?!!!

I always think of the song”Moonlight Feels Right” by Starbuck. But that musical group is “Starbuck” singular, whereas Starbucks coffee is plural........

Hire 10,000 people - many of whom are angry at us for our religions and for our destroying their country - so they can serve us beverages. Good business plan.

I’d rather eat sh*t than buy coffee from Starbuck

[TigersEye]

They could have made an offer to hire 10,000 veterans but no.

When the SHTF Starbucks can burn.

Remember 20% of Muslims are terrorists ... only 10% of Germans were Nazis.

I never buy that junk, I get green coffee beans from where ever is a good deal and roast it in my roaster.

Not give them a penny in about 5 years.

I can’t stand their burnt seemingly limited caffeine and don’t buy it. I prefer standard Navy coffee or Folger’s highest caffeine. So no boycott for me. But I urge anyone who normally buys that swill to join the boycott and try some real coffee from Speedway, BK, or any gas station.
