Over 500 students at The Catholic University of America have signed a petition to have Starbucks removed from the campus, citing the coffee giant’s financial support of Planned Parenthood and its efforts to overturn traditional marriage.
Students currently pay $3 to $5 for a 20 oz cup of coffee at Starbucks Coffee in the Pryzbyla Center. Compare this to $2 to $4 for a comparable 20 oz Dunkin Donuts Coffee at other universities. These high prices help maintain Starbucks’ above average profit margin of 10.66% and fund their numerous political activities.

I hope Starbucks gets booted. I’m currently in college, and I don’t buy individual cups of coffee. It’s a colossal waste of money.
Good for them. I hope they are successful—but I have my doubts.

Proud to say I’ve never been in a Starbucks store. I hope they get tossed off campus.
Good.
I purchased Chick-fil-A gift cards yesterday.
GOOD FOR THEM! There’s no need whatsoever to pay for an anti-Christian political campaign by this corporation.. especially since corporations are definitely not created to spend their shareholders’ funds on political campaigns not directly tied to the survival of the firms. (Someone should buy a share of Starbucks stock and file suit to stop this practice! Same for JCPenney’s, same for ...)
And quite frankly, Star*ucks “coffee” has no taste! If you want to have an expensive “botique” style coffee dispenser on campus, which is admittedly nice to have, ask Peet’s to come in! (Otherwise, just boil your own coffee for 10 or 20 cents a cup and be done with it.)
If the school taught them anything about basic business they would know no customers means they will leave on there own.
Throwing them off campus is fine as long as there is an economic boycott that goes with it. If the students feel that strongly, let them put their money where their hearts are and stop patronizing Starbucks.
Multiply that by the number of conservatives who buy Starbucks coffee everyday and the company would suffer a noticable financial hit. IMHO.
** financial support of Planned Parenthood **
What Planned Parenthod is worried about is the loss of dollars.
Go, students, go!
If the school taught them anything about basic business they would know that having a presence on campus is worth something to Starbucks or they wouldn't be there.....oh, wait.
Finally some students with good sense.
$3 to $5 per cup of coffee is ridiculous.
I spend $3.25 per week. I rarely buy coffee out. I would rather take my own thermos.
Besides, Starbucks is over-roasted bitterness.
“And quite frankly, Star*ucks “coffee” has no taste!”
Yes it does, the taste is called burnt.
Burnt what?
(smile smile)

I can hear Fivebucks now:
“But...but... that’s unAmerican! Whatever happened to having your own opinion and...and... freedom of speech and all that. What about Chick Fil A-...... never mind.”
I have always thought that the lowly cup of coffee at McDonald’s was far far better than Starbucks. I will take Gavina any day over burntbeanbucks.
It's about time somebody on our side brings the fight right back at those commie BA$TARD$.
Long live Chick-Fil-A.
