I too have been boycotting Starbucks since they first said they would honor the carry laws in WA state( home of their headquarters and flagship store)then changed their silly minds.
But this story seems a bit suspect, mainly because there’s no indication where it takes place. Real stories have datelines, urban legends don’t.
Also at the risk of sounding mean, there are fake veterans out there
OK, I stand corrected. Now Ive read it and it was Houston. There’s still something about this story that isn’t right, though.
I’ve been boycotting them since I did a cup/price analysis vis a vis my own Mr. Coffee.
Using organic coffee no less I have a lower price/cup. With organic cream and organic sugar or stevia to boot.
And it’s hot in my own kitchen, drunk in my jammies and I don’t have to get OUT in the cold and nasty weather to get that overpriced burnt coffee. I think the nearest one is about 25 or 30m from my house anyways. So add $15 to the price of that cup just for the gas to/from there and sitting in traffic.
No comparison.
