Great news for Russian entrepreneurs ! We cannot allow a McDonalds/Starbucks gap !!!
Starbucks should offer a special coffee drink, the Putinccino that has a special secret ingredient. Drink it at your own risk.
OOOOOh, more virtue signaling. I am so impressed!
“I never go to starsucks but a friend wanted to meet me at one last sumer....had one of those Guinness cold brews.......almost threw up my tennis shoes.”
About ten years ago a friend took me to a Starbuck’s and treated me to what seemed to be some version of a strawberry milkshake. It was quite tasty to be honest.
About thirty minutes after finishing it I was subjected to explosive diarrhea so bad I almost had to go to the hospital. Took me a good week or so before I felt good again.
Since then if I get a Starbuck’s card as a gift I give it away to random homeless people so Starbuck’s can enjoy a treat of their own.
Doing Russians a favor by pulling their overpriced burned swill.
If they somehow identified you as a Conservative...that could possibly explain your illness
“Today Putin said he was stopping all export of products and raw materials from Russia effective until December 31.”
Good. Russia can’t earn hard currency. Shooting himself in the foot. But he already did that with his invasion of Ukraine.
“If they somehow identified you as a Conservative...that could possibly explain your illness”
I never thought of that before but you’re quite right.
“This will surely convince Putin to stop.”
Little Pukin doesn’t care about Starbucks.
But all these foreign companies withdrawing means Russian unemployment goes up.
I do hear that Russia has help wanted signs for about 4,000 new soldiers though. And the number of openings goes up each day...
“Coca-Cola follows McDonald’s, Starbucks in suspending business in Russia”
More unemployed.
Grind down the Russian economy.
IIRC....Israel didn’t allow them in their market because their coffee is crap. I forget the name of their equivalent...but it’s MILES better.
“Coca-Cola ... suspending business in Russia”
Someone must have told them Russians are white people
“Here in Moscow, several large Russian supermarkets are limiting the number of basic goods people can buy at one time. In one shop I saw this notice stating: ‘Only one 5kg bag of sugar per person’. The government says this is to limit black market dealing and inflation.”
The same thing happened to me the last two times I ate KFC.
This should make us all feel so much better. This should make us all deliriously happy.
I bet they have no problem with Chinese atrocities and will keep those locations open?
I would rather see Starsucks suspend all business in the US.

Interestingly McDonald’s said they would continue paying their employees (ref. FOX Business news)
