Unbelievable! A judge can force a failing business to stay open? WTF?!! America's judiciary is completely out of control and needs to be reigned in.

[Renkluaf]

Welcome to the USSR!

[Steve_Seattle]

I’m no lawyer, but this sounds like massive judicial overreach. What legal principle could justify this ruling?

[bigbob]

What a strange strange world we live in, Master Jack...

[StAntKnee]

Nah, I can see it. Any biz that thinks it can make a national tea franchise work in a coffee country deserves to be punished.

[digger48]

Maybe BLM could start a chain of Purple Drank shops to replace them.

[cicero2k]

I can’t believe I’m on Starbuck’s side this time.

Close the stores and make they judge force Starbucks to keep them open.

Can you imagine the sheriff deputies as baristas?

[I want the USA back]

The judge has no right to do that. The ruling is invalid.

[lee martell]

Say what?...How is this possible in our country? Starbucks CEO better speak up and lawyer up now! This cannot be allowed to set a precedent.

Creepy Dead Malls

Its long past time for the judiciary to be reigned in.

They are completely out of control. No lifetime appointments either. The legislatures need to assert their authority over these tyrants.

[House Atreides]

Yep, WTF in maximum point size bold!

[Cicero]

I bet Starbucks tea is as bad as their coffee, but without that bizarre reputation of being special.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

#1: "Unbelievable! A judge can force a failing business to stay open? "

Shocking. Sounds to me like Venezuelan economics. We are ruled by tyrants in black robes, most of whom need to be made into crow food, and swinging from lampposts

[laweeks]

Wow! The next time I go to Starbucks to order a Tall, Non-Fat Latte With Caramel Drizzle or a Triple, Venti, Half Sweet, Non-Fat, Caramel Macchiato instead of my usual “just coffee . . . you heard it right . . . just normal coffee,” maybe I’ll ask for a cup of tea.

[ameribbean expat]

Very shortsighted on SPGs part also.

The judge is most likely the product of a law school employing the Critical Legal Studies variant of jurisprudence.

[RightGeek]

You can’t make this stuff up

[wardaddy]

Only thing worse than smarmy pretentious lib Starbucks

Is huge leftist contributor and well known hard to deal with nasty operator Simon the mall magnate

Simon is an ahole

Just read about the brothers

And their malls discriminate against conservatives when possible....see threads here

As much as it pains me I’m team Starbucks on this one

[LostInBayport]

Welch, in a 55-page order, found that the very profitable Starbucks could absorb the financial hit

Judge Welch: I see you have some money there. I will spend it for you and your shareholders. Da, comrade?

[tflabo]

Leftist Starbucks should be thrilled one of their own communist judges ruled in a ‘share the wealth equally’ ruling. How dare greedy Starbucks not help their poor division Teavana in need. lol

[LRoggy]

Teavana wa a perfect example of a great product so badly priced it couldn’t make it. Their teas were delicious but 5 times the price of other quality teas.
