...but how does supporting SSM improve shareholder value?
One plausible answer is that this elevates the Progressive "street cred" for a company that prides itself on a trendy "brand image". They can keep their brand image while I brew another pot of coffee made with beans from a family-owned business.

They greet you warmly, serve up the product, and youre on your way.
A company that focuses on the business of providing a product/service at a competitive price and does not get involved in extraneous piffle? There aren't many companies like that these days.

I don’t patronize the franchise, but I have had co-workers “treat” me to some of their coffee over the years (perhaps as many as three or four such occasions). In my opinion, it isn’t so much that the coffee is particularly strong (I have had far stronger stuff on hunting trips), but rather over roasted to the point that it has an odd aftertaste. It is a matter of personal taste, to be sure, but I am simply not a fan of the nearly burnt taste and aftertaste.

You can sell your shares in Starbucks and buy in another company. Thank you very much. We don't own any shares but we do go to a Starbucks about twice a month for coffee. I'm sure they won't miss our business. After all, what is $100 a year to them? Chicken feed.

He should be, but he won’t...the phan bois of SBUX are all in full agreement with him...
As for their in store coffee, it is over roasted to make room for all of the garbage they put in it. So yeah, for those of us who drink our coffee “decreamed”, it’s nasty.
But SBUX does make good coffee...they make the best individual serve sachets [VIA - Italian Roast or Colombian] around, period. It is not freeze dried garbage...now, as a result of this statement, I have to find an alternate coffee for backpacking trips as this is what I always took.

True, Apple fans do seem to be a bit cultist.Only by the standards of those suffering from an inferiority complex because Apple fans are so pleased with their purchase.

Thats nice, however there are only 3 Dunkin Donuts in the whole L.A. area. Dayum...
There are three just within 10 miles of each other here.
So, you're in the L.A. area? My hat's off to you, FRiend; I escaped California in 1976 and only return to visit family and friends still there.

I agree with you.
Personally I drink Dunkin Donuts and find the help there not nearly as snooty.

In the two years since the CEO made this statement, the DOW is up 23%. Starbucks is up 64%.

You nailed it sir! Not what you meant to say but it came across as expected by an Apple enthusiast! Can you tell me why others would have an inferiority complex about Apple devices? Other than price... Why would those that own them have a superiority complex?
