Guess I will not be drinking Starbucks any more.

Recently Marines in Iraq wrote to Starbucks because they wanted to let them know how much they liked their coffees and to request that they send some of it to the troops there.

Starbucks replied, telling the Marines thank you for their support of their business, but that Starbucks does not support the war, nor anyone in it, and that they would not send the troops their brand of coffee.

So as not to offend Starbucks, maybe we should not support them by buying any of their products! I feel we should get this out in the open. I know this war might not be very popular with some folks, but that doesn’t mean we don’t support the boys on the ground fighting street-to-street and house-to-house.

Thanks very much for your support. I know you’ll all be there again when I deploy once more. Semper Fidelis.”

Snopes says that’s false.

I’m with you, Grannie. No more Starbucks for me.

Hope you don't mind me jumping in here like this but I've got something for each of you...



















Hope you don't mind if you've seen these posted before, but they keep coming to mind as things I should post before they get too far away.

I never buy that overpriced java juice anyway. Never understood the big deal about starbucks. The coffee at my local 7-11 is so much better and cheaper too. Starbucks can stuff it.
