OPERATION # TRUMPCUP TAKES OFF, FORCING STARBUCKS BARISTAS TO SHOUT THE NAME

Starbucks customers across the country have begun placing orders under the name ‘Trump,’ forcing baristas to shout the President-elect’s name when drinks are ready.

A Starbucks employee sparked controversy earlier this month when he called the police on a Donald Trump supporter.

Operation #TrumpCup is an apparent backlash against that incident as well as other cases of discrimination against Republicans.

It’s spread like wildfire across the internet, becoming a phenomenon almost overnight.

Many prominent conservatives have posted pictures of themselves participating and have encouraged their fans to join in. Some critics of the #TrumpCup movement have pointed out that it’s a bit weird to protest against Starbucks by buying more Starbucks.

However, Tim Treadstone – one of the movement’s founders who goes by the name @bakedalaska on Twitter – said this is not a protest but, rather, a statement of support for the President-elect.

I don’t go to Starbucks, but if I did I’d tell the my name was Olive Trump. Let them shout out that one.

Either that, or I’d use one of the names Bart Simpson used when prank calling Moe’s Tavern.

Bart: “I’m looking for a friend of mine. Last name Jass; first name Hugh.”
Moe: “Phone call for Hugh Jass. Someone check the men’s room for a Hugh Jass.”

Increasing their sales isn’t much of a statement

I don't think most who go to Starbucks are thinking product boycott. These are likely patrons who've been going to Starbucks for years and enjoy the coffee or venue/location or whatever it is. I would suggest this is not a product boycott but a political statement by those doing this. And it seemed to work since you're reading/commenting about it.

Well, I highly recommend that you get in the commie baristas’ faces and the. Give your order to someone that you don’t like. ;)

Sorry folks but I don’t think harassing folks trying to earn a living is a good or decent thing to do — it’s the type of “action” that ‘RATS & other leftists like to take. I’m sure that not every barista is a progressive.

We have done no such thing. Starbucks management has; I simple choose not to support him.

I wish just close my account without fuss and drama, et non parlons plus.

Fortunately, I am immune to PC guilt trips, and feel perfectly free to make my own choices.

Packetsled did the right thing and fired him. Pepsi and Grubhub doubled down.

Since I started keeping a boycott list, I spend a lot less money which is good. I also email the companies and tell them WHY I am no longer buying their products and why I encourage others not to.

“Wow this is stupid. I thought childish antics were the domain of the left.”

While you think playing by Queensberry rules makes you some kind of ethical person, they play by Schoolyard rules and hit below the belt.

Well, the one or two who aren’t Progs will get to enjoy shouting Tump’s name in front of their Prog coworkers.

But you are very wrong about this type of action. You take action based on what works with the people you are messaging. The Right is learning, but many people like yourself cannot come to understand what and who we are dealing with. It’s the 21st century. 19th century tactics do not work anymore.
