Starbuck’s CEO, Howard Schultz, has signaled he may have made a decision between his duty to the shareholders and nearly-200,000 worldwide employees of the multi-billion dollar company in favor of a political career.
Schultz will be stepping down from his position in April of this year after a series of politically calculated, but financially devastating moves that found the coffee giant on the wrong side of the consumer one too many times, throwing the company’s stock into free fall.
Two years ago, the Starbucks brand took a hit after initiating a policy requiring young baristas to “engage” in discussion and debate with customers about their unsuspected prejudices on race and publishing an eight-page newspaper insert questioning readers racial questions such as how many friends of a different race they have, how often they share a meal with a person of another race, and the percentage of people in their Facebook stream are of another race.

Gaffer, I wish I had written this, but glad you did!
“Charred-bucks.
To be honest, their excuse for coffee is so bad I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t want veterans working there!”
Worst f’n coffee I ever tasted! Ptui !
The whole move to urban spaces thing has peaked. Starbucks was good at getting prime urban locations.
Then they hire 10,000 refugees which is tantamount to saying that America hate is corporate policy.
Big mistake.
However, BOR did highlight the Starbucks hire veterans announcement, but the damage is done.
I’m going to Caribou, Peets etc.
Starbucks uses the image of a whore to advertise it’s brand.
Let families beware of the influence that may have upon your children.
The company is promoting that men see women as whores. The company is promoting that women see themselves as property to be shared with any paying customer.
Every cup bearing the image of the Starbuck Siren whore is attacking family life and Christianity.
Starbucks would just lie about their radical positions.
The bold public lies of these mega corporations is quite amazing. They really do hate America. They have disdane for their customers.
Thought I responded to this already, but not seeing it here.
Thanks for the note. I didn’t catch that.
I was in a meeting where some guy made a mistake.
He combined “specify” and “stipulate”,
and it came out as “stiplify”.

This was AT LEAST 10 years ago....
I like that one.
Thanks.
