If there ever was a reason to boycott a company, Starbuck’s checks the entire list: an inferior product, surly service, a dangerous environment, and an insufferable CEO who can’t stop lecturing White Americans. If anyone gifts you with a card to this pathetic business, politely decline it.
And explain that your biohazard suit is at the cleaners.
But from what I hear and read, your list of reasons not to go to StarF*cks misses the most biggest reason they are known for, for not buying their wares.
Having to take out a small mortgage on your home to be able to afford to buy some phony, tricked-up cup of coffee (WTF is a latte?) that otherwise costs next to nothing to make at home or to buy from some other coffee shop.
StarF*cks is a liberal bastion for wannabe social justice warriors and safe-space seekers. And they charge through the nose for the luxury of sharing the place with druggies, homeless, vagrants and prostitutes.
Why would any sane person, who is not a flaming liberal, want to wander into their den of thieves?
Living on a farm in a rural area, one doesn't get caught up in these urban habits of wanting to go to the trendy places to eat or drink.
If it wasn't for the news I read on FR about StarF*cks latest faux pas misstep, I wouldn't even know they existed, let alone have to worry about where to find one for my next cup of "covfefe".
