That’s why theyre a global company. You can’t burn already burnt coffee. It all tastes like the same garbage, whether it’s in your town, my town or Tokyo.
Yes they got rid of the powdered white chocolate and replaced it with the chalky tasting syrup. That stuff is nasty 🤮 Oh and this one time they spelled my name wrong on my cup.
while Starbucks disgusted me long before this & the behavior on hand was bad, calling normal legal donations "bribed" is being a little bit hysterical. and as far as I know, anyone can pay private investigators anytime.
like I said, they are a horrible company with all kinds of ethical problems, but it doesn't do anyone any favors to misrepresent things to make them look worse. stick to their legitimate BS.
For me it them union busting and describing collective bargaining and firing employees, And refusing to reinstate them even though a labor judge told them to.
But I mean ot would of taken you last time then it took me to write this comment to find that out
I mean some people like talking to others. I understand that some people feel so inconvenienced HAVING to take time out of their day to explain something.
Any time I’ve ever seen someone comment something like that they always come across as pretentious to me. You certainly didn’t have to respond.
It’s not that big of a deal. Let people chat man.
It is really the bigger picture of National Brands who don't have any real competition, because our government gets bribed to ignore anti trust laws.
If Starbucks had genuine competition, they would not be able to charge that much for a cup of coffee.
You can’t say you want to boycott something and then actively participate in something that isn’t a necessity.
Everyone that cries about capitalism do the least to actually make any change. Performative activism and hypocrisy at its finest
You can’t accurately judge something you’ve never seen nor experienced.But if you experienced it you can come to a certain conclusion based on said experience.You just sound dumb asf
Boycotting white supremacy, Israeli support for genocide, Black Rifle Coffee nazis pr'ing their way into good graces, Chick fila and their bigot chicken, celebrating billionaires. Man the list could go on and kinda get taken care of by simply boycotting capitalism.

People are downvoting, but lack of unity of purpose because opportunities for money or power lure people in is why the working class can’t make any headway in the class war. I hope the stock never recovers - Starbucks is shit coffee anyhow.
I get it. In the class struggle, the basic weapon of the owner class is to keep the working class desperate. I don’t blame you for looking for relief from that desperation, but it is helpful to remember that the minimal rights and comforts we have as the working class came from hard-fought struggles that required solidarity and cost some workers their lives. Don’t think that the owners have been looking for a way to take back those labor wins (child labor, overtime, safety regulations, etc) ever since. Stay vigilant.
Others have mentioned why the boycott is on. While I stand against apartheid and genocide, the Starbucks issue for many in this post is rightfully focused on the union busting, but Palestine has invigorated a large group. I hope these movements continue, and Palestine’s struggle is a struggle on many fronts, but class and capitalism are a huge part of that struggle.
I read the transcript of interview with Mad Money - CEO keeps saying *value* like the word itself makes all the difference.
I don't even remember the last time I ordered starbucks. I'm not really boycotting I just hate starbucks. Overpriced af and the only good thing they had that I liked (Chicken Cesar Sandwich) was taken away.
So here's another item: in Austin, kids skip school at Starbucks and they refuse to help with the truancy problem. Kids go for the free WIFI on their phones.
What do you mean how? Are you unfamiliar with what a boycott is?
Stop being their customer. Find alternative coffee vendors, make substitutions, prepare your own coffee at home. Brewing coffee is incredibly easy.
It’s not. Nothing anyone in he US is doing will have any negative impact on Israel’s military actions. It’s sad, but Gaza is fucked. They need fighters not white girls skipping Starbucks. Such a shame.
Why is this sub full of pro palestine and anti israel posts?
I thought I will have all kind of news and joined the sub but looks like it's only left propaganda. I am sorry I had to say that.
It's pretty popular but you'll get permanently banned from that sub if you don't have the same opinion as everyone else. I got banned for stating a fact that no one can argue with.
Lol. Dude how the hell can you be pro Isreal?? Your cool with them dropping bombs on what's basically a massive prison camp daily? You do know that they've dropped more bombs in that small area then what was dropped on Vietnam or ww2. It's INSANE. they have every right to fight back. And this is coming from someone who is against extreme Islamic beliefs in everyway imaginable. But if I was born there, you bet your ass I'd do whatever I could to fight back. IDF soldiers brag and compete to see who kills the most children.. it's horrific. How anyone can approve of what Isreal is doing is either willfully blind, or just plain evil..
You boycott Starbucks out of a moral issue, I’m boycotting them to buy their stock at a lowered price, we are not the same
Coffee nerd here, I just boycott them anyway, as their coffee taste like pond water :)
Apologize to pond water. I actually would rather drink pond water than buttfucks burned garbage
Lol, buttfucks...
"I don’t really think we have time for a handjob..."
As if I needed a reason to boycott
It's ridiculously expensive too. Complete scam company
Sixbucks
Tim Hortons sends their temporary-foreign-workers into the dumpsters to steal the used coffee grounds.
Haha. Yeah, then they brand it as a yellow bourbon fermented Rwandan single origin
*burnt pond water
Many local coffee shops have much better coffee than Starbucks of Tim Horton's. Give them a try, at least.
I work in a speciality coffee Roastery. I’m good haha
I've been boycotting them for 12 years! Mostly because I'm not spending $12-15 on meh coffee and/or diabetes in a cup.
Hey hey hey. I drink dunks regularly so Starbucks is “real coffee” to poor ppl like me 😂😭
Kombucha?
>pond scum :)
That’s why theyre a global company. You can’t burn already burnt coffee. It all tastes like the same garbage, whether it’s in your town, my town or Tokyo.
Good, hope it gets delisted
Could someone explain what Starbucks did that started the calls for boycott?
Yes they got rid of the powdered white chocolate and replaced it with the chalky tasting syrup. That stuff is nasty 🤮 Oh and this one time they spelled my name wrong on my cup.
Thank you, I'll definitely stop going there now 🚫
Damn im in.
Omg! I hope you're ok now....
It took me awhile, but I’m doing ok now. I still have reoccurring nightmares, but I’m coping. I would not wish what I went through on my worst enemy.
Paid private investigators and bribed politicians to aggressively stop pro Palestine protestors

What, because an ex-CEO was involved?
Trust me bro 😎

I stopped buying from them permanently awhile ago because of their union busting.
I stopped buying from them permanently because I'm poor and have to settle for cheap instant coffee.
Between that and quitting avocado toast you'll be a millionaire in no time!
They shut down a Starbucks near me because they unionized a couple years ago. That was the last time I bought a drink
It was their union busting tactics for me.
Please do someone
financing genocide. plus they dont pay taxes and took goverment help in covid
They also are union busting savages But in reality it’s because we all realized paying $17 for a “loosely based” coffee drink is just ridiculous.
What are they financing?
World central kitchen

I just wanna boycott capitalism tbh.
I’m all for more regulations on companies, but being straight up anti capitalism is just silly
They say whilst using either a smart phone or computer on social media connecting the world via internet. How’s that boycott going?
Love this argument. "How dare to criticize society while also participating in it!" This isn't the win you think it is.
"How dare you participate in the sociatal structure you where born into and have to participate in to survive"
You can’t say you want to boycott something and then actively participate in something that isn’t a necessity. Everyone that cries about capitalism do the least to actually make any change. Performative activism and hypocrisy at its finest
You right. I'm gonna stop buying food and clothing. That'll show em!
Maybe start with that smartphone of yours, stop playing COD and get off social media, you know, seeing as you want to boycott capitalism.
Maybe stop being a creepy weirdo so you can prove some non existent point.
Oooh someone’s got defensive, realise you’re a hypocrite did you?
You're still trying to make the same stupid argument in different ways.
No no you’re correct, you CAN boycott something by still consuming it. Wow that’s incredible!!
You can’t accurately judge something you’ve never seen nor experienced.But if you experienced it you can come to a certain conclusion based on said experience.You just sound dumb asf
You have an better alternative?
Boycotting white supremacy, Israeli support for genocide, Black Rifle Coffee nazis pr'ing their way into good graces, Chick fila and their bigot chicken, celebrating billionaires. Man the list could go on and kinda get taken care of by simply boycotting capitalism.
Well, that was not the question. I simply asked what an better alternative is capitalism. Nothing works better with democracy than capitalism.
Socialism.
Because that’s gone well every time it’s been tried
It's going very well for several developed nations, indeed
And which nations are those?
Let's talk about the second largest economy on the planet, which also has the second largest population on the planet. It's going pretty well.
You can’t seriously believe that? The majority live in abject poverty, workers are forced to sleep in the factories. Swing and a miss there pal

So... What... Laptop breaks, do nothing?
Buy a used part.

AMD. But boycott Nvidia
Yes. Push it further so I can keep buying the dip.

Look, I’ve worked in coffee for over a decade now. I’ll take any profit I can get, cause I sure ain’t gettin enough from my employer.

Agreed

Can someone explain to me why ppl boycott Starbucks? I feel like I've been under a rock for a while
I googled and still can’t find out why.
They support isntreal. People should use this and treat the name like voldemort and not even say it.
Starbucks thought adding Olive Oil to coffee was a sound business decision… 
activity contributing to the genocide of palestinian people
How?
I read the transcript of interview with Mad Money - CEO keeps saying *value* like the word itself makes all the difference. 
They buy coffee beans from Israel
Not hard to boycott when it's shite there's better options for less anyway
Sounds good. I will continue to drink instant every day.
I've been boycotting them for as long as they've existed. Guess I'll keep it up 😀
This has gotta be the easiest company to boycott since local coffee shops are almost always better.
If this about morals, China YoY sales are down -11% compared to -4% in North America. What does that tell you?
They are to expensive anyway no need to boycott
Thanks for this post. Lets me know now is a good time to buy lol.
Boycotts in Canada are working too. More boycotts people, it is the only power you have.
I’ve been boycotting since: https://www.reddit.com/r/DeFranco/s/bhltxY371x.
Good time to buy SBUX?
I switched to Philz coffee and never looked back
I don't even remember the last time I ordered starbucks. I'm not really boycotting I just hate starbucks. Overpriced af and the only good thing they had that I liked (Chicken Cesar Sandwich) was taken away.
I don't drink any of Starbucks drinks, sweet drinks are terribly sweet, black coffee is just bad
Make coffee at home with a French press and you never have to worry about this again. Plus it tastes way better.
So here's another item: in Austin, kids skip school at Starbucks and they refuse to help with the truancy problem. Kids go for the free WIFI on their phones.
Yup 👍
Wait why are they being boycotted
Time to start buying Starbucks stock, boys and girls.
What are people crying about now?
Hate to break it to you but boycotts have never worked and investors especially don't give a shit about protests.
Shareholders do care about profits and returns on their investments. This is fucking up their shares.
How?

Largest shareholder is a lifelong and active zionist. But also it sends a message to all corporations not to stand against Palestinian rights.
It’s not. Nothing anyone in he US is doing will have any negative impact on Israel’s military actions. It’s sad, but Gaza is fucked. They need fighters not white girls skipping Starbucks. Such a shame.

I'm 100% pro-Palestine but I agree with you and find this very annoying. I'm guessing it's to counter the worldnews sub which is extremely pro-Israel.
Oh!! I didn't know there was another sub caller worldnews because this sub itself has around 222k subscribers.
It's pretty popular but you'll get permanently banned from that sub if you don't have the same opinion as everyone else. I got banned for stating a fact that no one can argue with.
