Why would I boycott a store whose coffee is truly gag-worthy and which I refuse to patronize. Oh, wait, I guess I’m boycotting, but just for the wrong reasons.

So, Mr. Starbux, you do believe that thousands of people are entering from those six countries. Thank you for verifying Mr. Trump’s reasoning.

I told my mother there was pig fat in Starbucks frappuccinos in an attempt to curb her addiction.

Starbucks is convenient, lots of locations, and I love their peppermint mochas. Don’t love them enough to stoop to supporting this humptwit.
To: Parley Baer
Agreed - their regular blend smells like ashtray and tastes even worse.

He just put every store under Trump’s magnifying glass. They better watch out. You DO NOT want to piss of this president. God, he’s great. #MAGA

Find a little independent coffee stand - lots of those around who would be grateful for the business.
To: DoughtyOne
You are precisely correct, DoughtyOne.
CEO Schultz is making their situation the hiring criteria, not how well they will make and serve coffee.
No way do I wish someone who is REWARDED for their inherent hostility towards decent Americans to have any proximity to my food and drink.

Schultz did not “stand up to Trump”. He told 10,000 American citizens they were not welcome as his employees.
Quotas favor one side and disfavor another.
Starbucks disfavors Americans.

I’d boycott them, but I don’t buy from them in the first place.

Why would executives managing publicly held, for profit corporations get themselves needlessly involved in political disputes and P.O. 50% of their potential customer base?
Idiots!

I myself have never purchased anything from Starbucks ... well, maybe once, by dim memory. Anyway, never saw the attraction. Give me Instant.

just make the $5 cups of coffee, dumbass, and be glad that americans are either wealthy enough or gullible enough to buy it.
no one gives a damn about your misguided social conscience.
To: aquila48
what makes coffee boy think he possesses the moral superiority to preach to the rest of us?
just make the coffee, and be glad there are people dumb enough to pay $5 for it.
To: aquila48
60% of the nation voted for Trump. The Starbucks CEO wants to cater to the 40% minority. This is NOT a valid BUSINESS decision. Any CEO unable to make a business decision with out being obscured by individual biases needs to be fired.
