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.
Damn the Bee, so close to the truth almost every time.....
Even buying a case of Kcups that I do not reuse, it comes out to 21 cents a cup. (creamer a tad extra)
The coffee tastes 100 times better than StarBucks. I do not understand why people drink their garbage.
Maaaannn…I saw the headline and thought “This had better be the Bee.” Phew! 😅
Yup.
The Baristas and the Hammies. I’ll betcha that would make a weird TV sitcom.
History repeats itself.
They got me until I got to tattooing numbers on arms. Then I check for the Bee.
Never been to a star bucks...and could care the F less.
I read it and found it believable before realizing it’s from the Bee. I mean the Nazi’s put stars on Jews, why shouldn’t Starbucks? It’s only logical.
The Bee hits too close to being real some of the times.
Brilliant satire!
Not funny
Ignorant and inappropriate
But not funny
Because nobody TEACHES REAL HISTORY ANYMORE !!!
The Bee is getting away from the ridiculous and closer to the truth. I would not put it past for star big bucks to actually to this.
i’m still running per-production Hydra-Shoks...
Is this to ID them like in Nazi Germany?
starducks star crap, Yes
Gold Dots are to mark the starducks group!!!
