Starbucks is reportedly considering closing its Facebook page as a result of the 'hateful comments' in response to some of their posts.

An internal memo, obtained by Buzzfeed, showed concern within Starbucks at the rhetoric on the site.

Starbucks mainly posts information about their beverages on the page, which is followed by 35 million people - but they also respond to social issues, such as the conviction of Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd, and the wave of anti-Asian attacks.

Quit being so hateful. SARC

Remember when the only politics was in the local paper or a local businessman.

“Sell coffee and STFU.”

Good business practice.

Maybe they should stick to posting about their overpriced drinks and skip the tired “woke” crap.

No way. I’m not on facebook but even I know that if Starbucks or other their fans complained about “hateful” posts directed at them, the miscreants would be summarily suspended or banned.

This is their excuse. Not the reason.

I really do not like their coffee and never have. I was actually in their first shop in Seattle, wondered why anyone cared about it.

Oh, we likely agree on most things, Gassy. We're FReepers, after all.

Its just those vaccines preventing us from making beautiful music together.

One day, and that day may come soon, when all you vaxxers are mutants and there's no going back, the two of us shall walk together in a field of grass and discuss the state of the world, as friends.

We went to zero with Starbucks when they trained their staff to be naggy Karens on the masks.

Who would "follow" Starbucks for anything? There's probably a lot of fake accounts, but who can imagine there's 35 million total losers out there?

This is Starbucks, the same korporation that after Michael Brown attacked a police officer in Ferguson Missouri, had no answer as to why they would call others racist for not investing in black communities when there was no Starbucks in Ferguson either.

Health freedom is a show stopper for me personally.

Take away my common law right to dictate my own health and wellness (and arguably: 9th, 10th, 4th amendment rights) and there is zero common ground. It is no different that imposing a foreign religion on me.

The cv19vx will take down the Republic.
