I’d start boycotting them, but I already do.

[GBA]

They can do as they like, as can I and I’ve given my coffee business to others. I don’t miss them.

[Jeff Chandler]

He should have told them the dog was gay.

It’s so easy to boycott a coffee chain with lousy overpriced coffee that expects you to speak coffee-language when you place an order.

“Eventually, he spoke with another employee and got his point across. The employee who stopped him at the door later apologized for what happened.”

[Mashood]

Sounds like Mr. Baer has hit the jackpot.

[billorites]

I could understand their position if the dog was carrying a weapon.

“It was in your face, loud and bold. I got really nervous. I was shaking because I was being confronted,’”

Veteran status or not, get over it and tell them to F’off and then get a lawyer and get rich.

the moronic "yelling" employee should've been "fired on the spot", after
he (repeatedly) ignored the paperwork supplied..probably a muzzie.

[Polynikes]

Ka-ching! Thank you Starbucks.

Skinny little left wing thug wanna be decides to take on a veteran missing a leg. I stopped drinking Starbucks 2 years ago over the guns debacle.

Can’t do much more then that but this is indeed reflective of the company. They employ people who have no tolerance for patriotism, conservatism or anything America. They hate America. That’s why they all work at Starbucks. They all see eye to eye and agree on their hatred of America.

We had a Chinese restaurant refuse a lady with a service dog like this. We filed a complaint with the Department of Justice. They reviewed it for a full year and then refused to go forward against the place in an ADA case. DOJ=Joke.

[PubliusMM]

Agreed, BykrBayb. I stopped using their products when they went all fuzzy on the Second Amendment.

What is Starbucks ?

I saw this guy interviewed this morning. When the lengthy apology presented to him was read during the interview - which specifically asked for an “opportunity to serve him again” - he was asked if he would give them the opportunity.

His response was “No, he would not” (fine by me) but then he proceeded to go off on a rant about “corporate America”.

I was not impressed with his argument. It sounded to me like he just wanted money.

[ZULU]

Bet the “employee” was Muslim.

If I, or probably many of the people on this board, had been in the store, I’d like to think we would have said something as well. I fear that most people just looked out the window and pretended they weren’t hearing anything.

I’ve already decided their overpriced swill is awful coffee so I can’t boycott them further.
