Remember when the CEO of JCPenney went all in and supported gays and hired Ellen Degeneres? A few months later Penneys was flirting with bankruptcy. I suspect that the CEO of Starbucks may be having some big decisions to make and his company is not doing that well. This is the kiss of death to go all in for a segment of the population that is no more than 2% and ignore the 98%. Starbucks may announce some big downsizing in the near future as the shareholder in this annual meeting expressed disappointment at the company's performance.

Great CEO. Alienate over 50% of the population. Do they teach that to people who get their MBAs?

why any business owner would jump into that water is beyond me. A businessman should probably focus on taking care of business, not advocating for highly divisive social issues.

I don’t like their overpriced burned tasting swill intended to cover up their crappy beans anyways.
McDonalds and Dunkin’ have far better tasting coffee.

Don’t worry Mr. CEO; I would not step in your stores for even a bathroom break. Let the people you welcome there; give you plenty of business. Your coffee is yucky and your desserts are always greasy and 100% sugar of what I’ve had.
To: GilGil
I'm in. I can do without Starbucks. If they don't want my money, I've no reason to provide it.

Who’s up for a good boycott? Let’s Chick-Fil-A them.

Their coffee is lousy - very rough - I think they roast green beans.
Now I have another reason to stay away from them!

It’s o.k., he can shove it! Some of the local non-franchised coffee shops are far better.

Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf have far better tasting coffee as well. I’m not aware of any rabid Lefties running it.

Wow. Given their buy brand populace, there might be a good uptick. Buy now, buy large.
