Black Rifle Coffee Company Takes on Starbucks: We're Hiring 10,000 Veterans
Townhall ^ | Feb 02, 2017 10:00 AM | Katie Palvich

Black Rifle Coffee Company, founded by veteran Evan Hafer, is responding to Starbuck's CEO Howard Schultz' pledge to hire 10,000 refugees. Schultz' announcement came last weekend in response to President Trump's recent executive order temporarily barring refugees and visa holders from seven terror ridden countries.

"We want to shift the conversation away from foreign policy to domestic issues that hit closer to home. We need to keep in mind that the four things we care about at BRCC are Family, Business, Veterans and country," the company posted on its Instagram page. "And when we say 'country', the taxpayers. Everyone else can take a hike. Careers@blackriflecoffee.com."

Nothing like hot G.I. coffee ladeled into your canteen cup on a cold morning in the field, to get the day started.

Recruits called it “lifer juice” because drill sergeants drank lots of coffee and anyone who reenlisted was a `lifer’ to draftees. This was during Vietnam of course.

Oh. Looks like they don’t have brick-and-mortar shops ... yet. Maybe that’s why they’re looking to hire so many vets. That would be cool. Considering their name and logo, though, they could be targets of the tolerant left for extreme violence.

No doubt

I bet Starbucks didn’t have a run the other day...

The left doesn’t appreciate anything done for them ...though that’s also probably why Starbucks did so, hoping to cash in...plus cozy up to the crowd they think will save them from reality...

Tim Horton’s is my fave; got hooked on it when I lived in Alberta one summer. I can’t stand Starbucks; I think McCafe is far better and so is a cup at Ihop, McDonald’s & Waffle House. Hoping Black Rifle sprouts shops across the nation - I’d love to watch SB flounder and go out of business.

Instead of a shot of espresso they can call it a tap.

“I’ll take a double-tap please!”

Goes straight to the head ;-)

Our cooks baked it in field ovens, it came out muddy brown with lots of coffee grounds.
