The Starbucks stock crashed after the announcement.
 
 
And customer sentiment has not yet recovered since the political stunt by CEO Howard Schultz.

Conservatives who own stock in these Leftist-governed companies are certainly stupid not to sell the minute the gushing Democrat media announces another ruinous idea. You know you are going to lose money if you don’t sell immediately.

Exactly.

But my point is they care more about what their elite/New York/hire nannies to raise their kids friends think that the value of their stock. $15 billion bucks up in smoke over letting grown men into bathrooms with little girls? How do you not go in and fire the idiots who made that decision?

They also eschew toilet paper. It is Muslim custom to wipe one's anus with a bare hand.

And Starbucks wonders why they've lost customers...

A 1.3% drop means stockholders lost $1,033,630,000.
That’s $103,363 actually lost for every refugee he promises to hire.
And remember: every hire is a _part_time_ job.

I never knowingly deal with Muslims at all. Don’t go into businesses they run, won’t go to a raghead cashier, don’t even speak to them for any reason. I’m sure I’m not alone.

You can’t unring the bell. JC Penney, Target, Starbucks and the like are learning that via the ‘vote with your pocketbook’ movement.

The Left has tried this (mostly unsuccessfully, I think) with the BDS movement. The Right has countered it with successes like Trump wife/daughter business successes.

As Nelson from ‘The Simpsons’ would say,

“HA-HA”

I get the best Italian espresso coffee for my coffee machine - cost about 12 bucks a month for 2 cups a day. I see a guy in my apt complex go to the corner store every morning for a $1.75 cup of crap, he is Brazilian and Italian heritage and constantly complains about the coffee in America.

Macy’s axed Trump clothes and is headed for bankruptcy. Stock is down 50% since then.

I’d like to see a CEO fired specifically for politicizing their company and harming stock value. Just one.

Fox dominates cable news. The fact there aren’t NBC/ABC/CBS/CNBC conservative news talk shows that they don’t care about money. If it were a TV about dogs that was a big hit, there’d be 3 more dog shows on the air in a month. Conservatives? Nope.

Odd that publicly traded corporations have no duty to their shareholders to maximize profits and the value of their companies and face no consequences for doing a terrible job.

I’m a coffee addict when I travel, but I now avoid starbucks everywhere.

There are so many more interesting, friendly, locally operated, and CLEAN coffee shops (most Starbucks I have seen recently are FILTHY). Why not go to those?

According to the graph,
1.46 BILLION shares
it was at about $58.6
Closing price was $55.36

Let’s say $3.2 a share drop

1.46 Billion
x $3.2


$4.672 Billion

They have some home furnishings that fit in with the shabby chic style, for those that like it. Or at least, they used to. Haven’t been there in quite some time.

Sell him a cup of your coffee for $1.25 and start paying for your coffee bill - it’s American capitalism at it’s finest:-)
