"...it's a free country..." Oh, really Tommy Boy? Tell that to those devout Christians who faced drippling litigation because they dared to let their deeply held beliefs prevent them from accommodating homosexual weddings. You couldn't pay me to drink that Panther Wizz they call coffee. There's plenty of Cuban-owned Mom and pop bodegas around Tampa that serve better tasting coffee at more reasonable prices, and without the phony, holier-than-thou "hip", "with it" progressive aura that Starbucks tries to evoke. Besides, given the progressive corporate culture at Starschmucks, wouldn't they encourage people to BUY LOCALLY? They have learned nothing from the let's about race fiasco, have they?

I’ve been trolled by a fanboy for three days because I posted a link against Starbucks.

Just a link.

Those people are fanatical crackpots.

What if you’re against Polygamous Marriage and Incestuous Marriage, same deal?

[Sivad]

One of the product sales you will not make tomorrow and
every day after will be to me. On second thought, how
about a list of Starbucks stores located in South Central LA?
I might reconsider if you would put your money where
your raciss mouth is.

Anyone noticed a fecal smell emanating from some coffee and phone/computer products lately? Some consumers also make an obvious statement about themselves by buying such products.

If they’re getting a return of 38 percent it means that their prices are too high, and those big corporate executives are getting rich on the backs of the poor.

Starbucks has long openly supported the homosexual agenda...going back to at least early 90s...Christians who drink Starbucks beverages are linking arm in arm with their social causes

Now I know, after all these years, WHY I have NEVER been to a Starbucks or tasted their coffee.

[XenaLee]

I can truthfully say that I have never been in a Starbucks and also truthfully, I plan to keep that trend going. Especially now.

The best coffee in Tampa was the old Quatro Julio on Howard Ave. Is it still great in the “new” location?

[VRWC For Truth]

Schultzy is tripling down on stupidity.

[ScottinVA]

Two words: “Dunkin’ Donuts.”

Their prices are better, their coffee is far superior, and their CEO isn’t dragging them into oblivion with a series of ill-advised socio-political statements. They greet you warmly, serve up the product, and you’re on your way.

[maddog55]

Starbucks is about the worse tasting coffer there is and paying 3 or times the price for a cup is insanity...

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

If you feel, respectfully, that you can get a higher return than the 38% you got last year, it’s a free country “You can sell your shares in Starbucks and buy in another company. Thank you very much.”

[Joe Boucher]

hey senore’ Schultz ,
Take your snotty high and mighty attitude,
your overpriced too strong coffee and shove it.

[who knows what evil?]

Never had a cup of Starbucks; never will. Never owned an Apple product; never will. I get thru my day just fine.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

I wonder what this pinhead thinks about Mozilla’s CEO who was fired for a small donation in support of a group committed to traditional marriage.

[ZULU]

Schultz, you idiot, I don’t have shares in Star-Sucks BECAUSE I don’t support gay marriage AND I don’t drink your overpriced insipid coffee.

[9thLife]

And when they do, the CEO will be culpable in the lawsuit filed by the remaining shareholders. Ditto for that loudmouth idiot that runs Apple Computer.

Oh, Karma is sweet.

Why no Starbucks locations in the Hood?
