Some Starbucks customers are threatening to boycott the coffee giant after its CEO took a stand against President Donald Trump's executive order barring immigrants from seven majority-Muslim countries from entering the US.
On Sunday, Starbucks announced it planned to hire 10,000 refugees worldwide in the next five years.
"We are living in an unprecedented time, one in which we are witness to the conscience of our country, and the promise of the American Dream, being called into question," CEO Howard Schultz wrote in a letter to Starbucks employees about the plan.
While many customers were immediately supportive of Starbucks' actions on social media, others threatened to boycott after the letter's release.
"Upon hearing about your decision to hire 10000 refugees instead of Americans I will no longer spend any money at Starbucks," one such Facebook user wrote on Starbucks' page.

Their burned beans taste like tar to me. I’ve never understood the Liberal love for their nasty coffee.
I don’t ever go there because of all their left wing BS. They lost me as a customer a long time ago.
Starbuck$ supports beating women, keeping women from driving, and the total subjugation of women!
Same here. And these are not "refugees". These are Illegal Aliens. Starbucks is breaking the law by hiring them. The new Trump DHS should charge Starbucks with violations of federal law and deport these aliens post haste.
Well win you post to their facebook page, don’t tell them that.
Besides the idea that their coffee sucks, why would I want to trust anything to an inbred muzloid jihadist.
Hard to argue Starbucks is a failing company but not sure why they would try to piss off a large portion of their customers.
This is the same guy who when Christian stockholders raised some concerns, he basically told them to go to hell, which is the same attitude I have for star*fucks. The beauty of America,he has the right to run the business as he wants and I have the right to not buy their overpriced, burned, pretentious, elitist, crap.
I don’t care how much you may like their products, this leftist CEO chirps in on every issue letting us know how unamerican he thinks we are. Screw him, don’t buy their stuff ever again.
Cant boycott what i dont use, but at least its confirms to me not going to them is a great idea.
Aside from a one off a year ago with a fried, I’m on the tail end of 2 solid decades of boycott.
Back when we started hearing about their support for deviant life styles, solidified by a business trip to SF and visiting the StarBucks there. Deviant city.
The nearest SB..is, I think 28 miles from me....if they are still in business.
I was at work the other day..and someone bot the staff SB coffee...it was horrible coffee.
I've never spent a dime in a SB place....and won't ever,
My wife is a big fan of Starbucks coffee, but last night she said she will find another place to buy her daily latte.
Schultz is trying his best to become the CEO of the late, not-so-great company.
As for me, I can’t stand “Charbucks.” I feel like my teeth are brown after drinking the stuff, with a bitter after taste.
The only one I like is Kenya. I make it at the strength I like, and of course they never sell it by the cup in the store, and they never have it in the supermarket.
No more Kenya for me either.
I can’t stand their coffee, so I can’t boycott them because I never patronize them.
JC Penney, Target. Another liberal lemming.
Heck, the Patriot Gas Station has better coffee...and cheaper.
We had eight years of Kenya.
I used to spend way too much money at Starbucks.
However, I cannot boycott them now as I haven’t been in one in almost 10 years.
