Same here. It has probably been 20 years since I tried to drink their awful coffee. I make my own — Tieman’s Fusion Coffee. Easy on the stomach and loaded with antioxidants.

I vote every single day... with my wallet. No need to support those that don’t like me.

I wouldn’t be surprised if “Charles Kirk” would be ok with those idiots.

Can proudly say I have never spent a dime in a Starbucks and have no intention of ever doing so. How someone can waste $5 on a cup of coffee is beyond me.

I’ve never been to a Starbucks since I abhor coffee so I have a question.
Is it common for people to give funny names?
When a restaurant asks for my name I always make something up.
There is a place down in the FL Keys where my party just made up fish names for their orders. I one upped them all with coelacanth.

That is great. When you are waiting for a table at a restaurant, use the name Charlie Kirk for when they call you.

I’m one of the few FR who actually likes Starbucks coffee. But I haven’t bought any in at least five years, and I won’t.

If it’s company policy - - do they really want to get Bud Lighted? Throw away half their potential customers?

If it’s an insane employees who don’t care if the company makes money or not, that person should be fired by the company.
