I’m afraid I will have to keep giving Starbucks my business. Nothing beats a good ultra-dark roast coffee, in my opinion.
Most people who complain about Starbucks coffee are actually complaining because they don’t like dark roast coffee. Starbucks actually does have medium and light roast coffees available, but you have to ask for it.
As for the CEO’s announcement, I took it as political theater. It is in dubious taste, but has no real effect except to make him feel like he is doing “something.”
In the words of conservative comedian Jackie Mason...”boint coffee...”(google it)
I know?...lets STAY AWAY IN DROVES! even if you love Starbucks...unless of course you do not share the conservative constitutional mindset.
I use to go to Auto Zone. they fired a worker for getting a gun out of his car and foiling a robbery.
I no longer go to Auto Zone. we must be prepared to vote with our feet.
If you want to pay $5, or whatever they charge for a cup of coffee, that is your privilege. I have never stepped into a Starbucks and never will. I have tasted Starbucks coffee though, when I worked during the early 90s at the Music City Sheraton in Nashville TN and it was introduced there. Although I like my coffee strong, I did not care for it.
His statement to the effect that if you dont’ support gay marriage, don’t patronize Starbucks was enough for me to never set foot in one ever again. Just shut up and make coffee!
I agree. I'm tired of people who complain about Starbucks "burnt coffee". It's only burnt if it is left in the pot on the burner too long. IMO, those folks like flavorless weak coffee (kinda like the people who drink ultra-light beer because they don't really like the taste of beer).
