A trend that kicked off last summer with protestors supergluing themselves to Starbucks venues has taken its next step.
But that next step has landed protestors inside blocks of concrete, with placard-waving protestors closing off the entrance to a Nashville Starbucks by embedding themselves.
In a campaign meant to show how vegan protestors are refusing to budge, the protestors waved signs asking Starbucks to 'end the vegan upcharge' on plant-based milks.
Starbucks said: 'We respect our customers’ rights to respectfully voice their opinions so long as it does not disrupt our store operations.'
The company said customers can add a 'splash' of plant-based milks to their drinks for free, but that it charges an additional fee for more than a splash.
The upcharge amounts range from 50-90 cents, depending on the location and type of plant-milk wanted. There is no extra charge for dairy milk.
PETA said it wouldn't back down from its position, and told Starbucks to stop castigating people who are 'concerned for cows', according to the New York Post.

Leave them and build a park around their monuments…
Where’s the closest water , deep water ,LOL
If people didn’t drink milk, cows would be on the verge of extinction.
What a first world problem
“I can gather some scorpions”
Figure out how to milk them and you will be in tall cotton...
LOL amen
Depends.
Regular, quickset, ambient temperature, relative humidity.
Plenty of lye regardless.
If not heat burn, chemical burn for sure.
Ask anyone who works with cement for a living . That stuff will give you cracked bleeding skin .
Hope they got bagbalm , and lots of it.
No, even bigger morons bring them food.
Hats off to you for knowing the damned difference between cement and concrete!
Just leave them there until whenever.
I’m glad this crap only happens in population centers.
When the concrete hardens it shrinks a bit - just enough to crush their bones - for a good read -”Christ in Concrete”
I had to mix a few gallons of concrete in a five-gallon bucket once. I didn’t have anything to stir it with, so I just mixed it with my hand and rinsed off when I was done. Big mistake — I had a nice chemical burn nearly to my elbow. It hurt for days.
I’m surprised that nobody has yet pointed out the humorous aspect of that brunette being involved in a protest having anything to do with milk.
“Vegan protestors seal themselves in CEMENT outside Starbucks in protest against 50 cent charge for non-dairy milk that ‘discriminates against people who are concerned for cows’”
I object to vegans culturally appropriating Italian culture. If their not careful they might end up wearing concrete galoshes. OH wait...
This gives a whole new meaning to ‘getting stoned’. . . .
I’m thinking that the collapse of western civilization might be a good thing.
Businesses encourage this idiocy
I was in Target last week buying a few items in office supplies and saw notebooks for sale advertised as covered with Vegan Leather. I can’t begin to understand what that is supposed to be.
Hope they’re still up there when it comes time to walk my dogs . . .
Tesla advertises “vegan leather” on their interiors.
It’s actually a synthetic plastic material.
And they’re having serious problems with premature wearout.
