Weren’t they encouraging their employees to write little SJW messages on customers’ coffee cups?

How about: "I don't care what you do in your private life, just buy our coffee."

Now there's a novel approach to dealing with the public!

Since the business is asserting their values, they either believe in them or they do not. They made this mess on their own - paraphrasing from the epic fail of the Dixie Chicks, “SHUT UP AND POUR THE COFFEE”

Dunkin Donuts, founded in Quincy MA in 1950, has eschewed politics to serve a great cup of coffee and dozens of delicious, fattening, carb-loaded, yummy donuts.

They now have 11,300 stores worldwide and still growing.

Imagine! A great cup of coffee without a lecture! :-)

Most companies are smart enough not to trumpet divisive stands on issues. They just want to sell you a product or service. For instance, I have no idea what Hardee’s/Carl’s Junior’s stance on gay marriage, race relations or feminism might be.

I’m beginning to think wealth and intelligence are mutually exclusive.

7-11 coffee is a lot better and a lot cheaper.

Most of the major corporations have gone over to the left. They have overlooked the fact that businesses exist for the profit motive.
Starbucks won’t be getting any of my coffee money.

Despite what one might think about the people who work at SB but will the corpoate office stand by their creeds and put their employees in peril?

Will Starbucks stand firmly by their principles, or will they cave in

Any time someone stands up to a Liberal, the Liberal caves. The problem is that people are too frightened to stand up to Liberals.

Trump has stood up to the Liberals - and has won EVERY battle.

If they put many more letters in the alphabet soup of ‘non-traditional’ sexual proclivities they support to the exclusion of heterosexuality, they won’t be able to tweet.

I did a quick look at Starbucks cash flow and stock price. It appears they can do or say anything and it won’t affect their wallets. Anybody have a more nuanced read on this?

I love it when leftist idiot demands directly contradict each other.
