Starbucks Workers To Begin Placing Yellow Star Sticker On Jewish Customers' Cups

SEATTLE, WA — In an effort to smooth things over with the Jewish community after baristas voiced support for Hamas, coffee giant Starbucks has begun to give Jewish customers a little something extra by placing a yellow star sticker on their coffee cups.

"We value our Jewish customers and want everyone to know exactly who they are," said Starbucks spokesperson Dan Spivey. "We don't want any of our customers to feel alienated or discriminated against, so we're placing these yellow stars on the cups of our Jewish customers to make sure they are fully recognized."

Jewish groups had called for a boycott of Starbucks after the union that represents many baristas made posts on social media expressing solidarity with Palestinians in the days following attacks on Jewish civilians by the terrorist organization Hamas. Starbucks was quick to distance itself from the union. "We would never want to be a part of anything that divisive," Spivey said. "Starbucks has long prided itself in being completely apolitical. We have never given in to radical progressive causes or anything like that before."

Spivey said the company hopes placing identifying yellow stars on the cups of Jewish customers will lead to positive things. "If you see someone out there with a Starbucks cup that has a yellow star on it — say something polite, like ‘Hello, Jew!'" he said. "They'll definitely feel loved."

At publishing time, Starbucks was also reportedly planning to tattoo serial numbers on the arms of Jewish customers in lieu of providing them with a Starbucks Rewards card.

If I were Jewish, I wouldn’t be going into Starbucks or any other establishment where I thought the owners and/or employees had issues with the Jews. Spiked food being one such concern.

Much of the Bee’s satire is a little too close to the truth, these days.

If I were Jewish (I’m not) and I visited Starbucks (I don’t) I would be thrilled and overjoyed with a F*****g Yellow Star!

Why are bagels so tough? They’re made of Jew dough.

I just cant see paying that much for a cup of coffee.

I get coffee I like and fill up a reuseable keurig coffee container. Pennies.

Yes, but when does satire end and reality begin with the Bee’s postings? My comment was looking at the reality of the situation with Jews and those businesses that have expressed viewpoints in conflict with them?

To advertise this new feature, Starbucks began hanging these special "welcome" signs in the windows of all their Starbucks locations, to let "Juden" know about the new pogrom, and welcome them in to get their own nifty identifying star.
