I read that a lot on Free Republic. What's wrong with their coffee? I quite like it. I drink very strong coffee and their coffees have loads of flavor. I doubt they'd be as popular as they are if they had terrible coffee.
Maybe you should try boycotting the passage of time and changing social mores?
If STBX is serious, I want them to remove all their shops from Turkey, France, Germany, Russian, all of Central and South America. India, Italy, China, South Korea......plus all the other countries they are in who openly oppose “so called homosexual marriage” or stop bic#ing about the USA.
I dunno about Starbucks, but if they don’t want me as a customer, fine. I just had a cup of Caribou coffee anyway.
Are you old enough to remember when there were no Starbucks and when coffee shops were for cheap, quick, mediocre meals?
I am that old. I eschewed Starbucks for a long time but I go there now occasionally. Their coffee cake is a treasure! YUM!
Imagine, paying $2.50 for a cup of coffee. Wow.
Starbucks are EVERYWHERE here in California....it seems.
True, their coffee is very good. Like you said, they wouldn’t be very successful if people didn’t like/buy their product. I enjoy their coffee myself.
Amen.
Boycotts themselves are pretty outdated in a corporate age.
Hehehehehhe Another one.I walk into a store and say I want a pack of gum.They say “What kind”I say any kind.They proceed to show me different gums and I say it doesn’t matter.They say Lady you have to tell me what kind.The manager comes out grabs a pack of gum and hands it to me:)True story.
“Boycott” implies that you have been patronizing them, stopped for political/policy effect and then would go back if they changed course.
I would argue that any Christian who is paying attention would either have not patronized them at any time or would have already stopped by now and will not patronize or go back ever.
boycott: no
stay away from forever: yes
Sorry Pastor, but I disagree. In the past I have patronized Starbucks but will do so no longer. I am not trying to destroy the corporation. However, I choose not to support an organization that not only works against my most sacred beliefs, but also openly tells me that it does not want my business or investment dollars. Being a Christian means we are called to forgive. But Starbucks has not asked our forgiveness. And we are not required to subsidize our own persecution. And believe me, sooner rather than later, Christians who refuse to endorse same-sex “marriage” will be subjected to the draconian punishments of an increasingly totalitarian state. In formerly free countries like Canada and the UK, this has already happened.
Don’t know any capital “C” Christians that patronize Starbucks in the first place.
I guess I already do, bought one of their coffees once, didn’t like it, and never went back.
“If I am a believer in the biblical definition and symbolism of traditional/natural marriage, then I don’t want any of my money to help pay for the promotion and legalization of same-sex marriage! IF a company is using their profits from retail sales to promote an ungodly ideal, then it is a great benefit to me to know about it! Why? So I can give my financial resources to someone else who won’t use my dollars to promote and support ungodly causes!”
ABSOLUTELY!
I already boycott them because I brew my own coffee, which is actually drinkable because I don’t used burned coffee beans, and costs $.04 to brew per cup instead of paying $4.00 for what is the worst coffee available on the market.
I boycott them cause their coffee sucks.dunkin donuts is better and fourbucks put out a tasteless ad after 911 saying collapse into coolness or some bs but the image was of two of their cups in the grass. The grass was square so they looked like buildings.the cups were much taller and then they had a butterfly heading towards one and a dragonfly heading into the other at the same angles the planes hit the towers.
Exactly.
Like what type of Health Insurance that they buy, or weather they want to pay for other peoples access to abortion drugs and contraception?
If we as Conservatives continue to purchase from companies that are openly hostile to your political and personal beliefs than we are stupid. It is more than time that we start to punish our enemies at least as much as the vocal liberal homosexual minority does.
They are the bigots! They are the extremists!
Why not stand by and let you country sink? You doing a good job.
I guess the idea of one makes people feel good...except for the employees of course
