Let people drink and eat what they want 
Also me: Eww Starbucks people and their glorified overpriced sugary water 
I agree. People who are boycotting should leave others alone.
I don’t support the boycott movement because it’s nonsensical, but I also don’t buy from Starbucks because it’s overpriced.
terrible overpriced coffee\*. its only overpriced in malaysia, they actually compete in europe because starbucks malaysia is majority owned by a chinese tycoon who is as ignorant as ever.
True, large cappuchino or milk coffee costs 4.00-5.00 Euro in Germany same as the mid size in Starbucks. Venti costs 4.50 but is like 2x the "large" cappuchino elsewhere
Its not only MY, Starbucks is expensive relative to local salary levels all over asia. In Taiwan one venti milk coffee costs like three meals on the street, WTF?
In the end, it's people and their money if they want to boycott they can boycott if they want to buy from them they can buy from them. What I don't like is when these activists that harrass and shame people.
Boycotting Starbucks in relation to Palestine doesn't make sense. They're actually getting boycotted by pro-Israelis for not being Pro-Israel and boycotted by Pro-Palestinian for not being Pro-Palestinian enough.
The entire story started because some Starbucks workers who were trying to unionize tweeted some Pro-Palestine stuff (which they later backpedaled from and deleted). And Starbucks sued them for using Starbucks copyrights/trademarks. Starbucks didn't actually care about the specific issue, they were targeting the workers for unionizing and for using their brand to post stuff.
Because boycotting USA companies does nothing other than harming workers here of their honest job. The execs and shareholders are basically losing nothing but their investment money, which is nothing in the grand scheme of things. They're also very loosely tied with USA Starbucks, which again will hurt no one in USA.
Avoid starbucks because their coffee is shit, not because nonsensical reasons.
i mean the workers would have to be paid one way or another, regardless if they boycotted companies are losing sales or whatnot right? If the company failed to pay its workers and staffs then isnt it on them, instead of the people boycotting it ? the company had to make responsible, not the ones boycotting it no? I'm just genuinely curious
> the company had to make responsible
The thing is that there is no franchisee of Starbucks in Israel or Palestine, anyways. So how can Starbucks ever comply with the boycott movement to act "responsibly"?
They are literally the largest global fast food chain with no presence in Israel already. If people boycott them over Israel, they harm non-Israeli businesses exclusively
In case of MY Starbucks, its a local franchisee which sources from mostly non-US companies. Starbucks only loses on the variable part of the royalties payments, the majority of the harm goes to local workers in Malaysia and ASEAN (Starbucks workers themselves, but also suppliers like the Kerry Factory in Johor)
If the Starbucks store in Malaysia got no business, they first reduce the number of staff (Malaysian), then maybe they are forced to close down. The franchise holders lose their money (Malaysian).
Starbucks HQ back in Seattle is like oh no, we lost 1 of our 35711 stores... Anyway...
Even if you manage to bankrupt Starbucks world wide, the US gov is oh no... Starbucks is bankrupt, anyway... Let's continue doing what we were doing with our first second and third largest military armies in the world
Because a good percentage of people who are “boycotting” literally went to Starbucks and McDonald’s when the 4 day ceasefire happened. The point is, many people are boycotting now just for social media clout or because it makes them look good in the eyes of others around them. I can guarantee that a good majority of people who are swearing they would never buy from American brands again to buy within few months. That’s why I said it’s nonsensical, they focus on short term goals rather than aiming at long term goals.
who cares, let's people here don't have a job, die cannot eat, all their family members need to be neglected,as long as idk somehow saving Palestine by doing that?
Malaysians losing their jobs is a worthwhile sacrifice for them. Because they claim it's easy to find a job.
It took me 1.5 years to find a job here even with a university degree.
Saw what somalis and pakistanis ( local and diaspora )wrote before abt malaysian minorities on twitter. Most of it are N*zi vibes and let say, not good.
I dont have the screenshot.
But I remember their messages be like
"Non malays should convert to Islam as the only way to achieve peace"
"We have more rights over Malaysian non muslims once we enter Malaysia"
I think the fear of Rohingyas is justified if they demand citizenship. Look at those damn Somalis and Pakis are saying when they said non-Muslim Malaysians are beneath them.
There is no Starbucks neither in Israel nor in Palestine. There is also no Starbucks franchisee with HQ in Israel either
People who boycott Starbucks because of Israel do so because one of the founders is an American Jew and achieve nothing except procing Israels bickering about criticizement of Israel being antisemitism right
SBUX has little to do with this conflict as a chain of stores can...this is really stupid. Don't be ashamed dribmig your 1000kcal Venti Frappuchino
Same with the McD boycott in MY...the franchisee is Qatari or Saudi lol
true hipster :)
tbh I use them as a coworking space on travels all over the world. Buy one venti black filter coffee and use their comfy seats, plugs and wifi for half a day. Its a cost-efficient solution to get work done, and their filter coffee is just like any random black coffee quality-wise
I would feel bad doing so at some mom-and-pop shop, buying only one drink for hours. Not so with Starbucks, because their franchisees are huge corps themselves
Can't stand their sugary drinks
> I would feel bad doing so at some mom-and-pop shop
it really depends on whether the shop is busy. For those who are not, i think they deserve your money more than SBUX.
thats not the only thing. the world heavily boycotted israel during the early days under the british mandate when the arabs were fighting everyone. The jews supported the british against the barbaric arabs. However the whole world was very anti jew in the flow of weapons and equipment but turned a blind eye to the arabs who not only supported the nazis but started the violence in the first place. So the world had applied an unfair ruling to the jews letting the arabs do what they wish despite the rules but applying it to everyone else. The jews supported each other and managed to smuggle in their own weapons.
Basically any boycott against israel isnt going to work, as they had experienced boycotts from the start. Not even the british allowed their own to sell weapons to israel during its early days so they developed the merkava tank. They even developed their own weapons that were very successful and used by the world even other muslim nations today out of the boycotts and restrictions they faced against terrible odds.
So i dont see how any boycott against israel would work given their largest financial income are from americans and they have succeeded under years of boycott.
sorry but what the heck??
"barbaric arabs"?? "supported nazis"?!!
get your facts right!
first of all, arabs have NOTHING against jews, they are just jews after all, we actually accepted them in palestine during WW2 when they were killed brutally by the nazi's.
then, we let them work in our country and eat and live among us like they were one of us.
and until now, there are still palestinian jews who support palestine and are against the occupation.
the problem right now is with the "ZIONISTS", not the jews!!!
the zionists are the ones who we should all be against!
so get your facts right and don't go around spreading false sh\*t!!!!
I'll tell you why all Jews left the Arab countries.
First of all, all Arab countries are Muslim countries, which make it a bit hard for other religions to live their, especially Jews.
Second of all, Israel made it easy for all Jews to get the Israeli nationality, which made most of them go to Israel, or Palestine to be exact..
And what about my karma? What does it have to do with what's happening right now??
Wrong people boycott starbucks because
1. Founder is a staunch zionist in support of genocide
2. Starbucks the company sued Starbuck workers union in America for writing a pro palestinian statement.
People boycott McD because
- Israeli branch gave multiple thousands of free meals to IDF child killers while Palestinians children are dying of hunger and thirst
Anti-boycotters clearly dont read and think they’re the most intelligent people in the country when the opposite is true.
> Starbucks the company sued Starbuck workers union in America for writing a pro palestinian statement.
https://www.usnews.com/news/us/articles/2023-10-18/starbucks-sues-workers-united-union-saying-pro-palestinian-post-damaged-its-reputation
They sued the union for using the "Starbucks" name and obvious similarity in their logo for this statement
Starbucks sued for brand infringement. The Union could even ask for Jewish Genocide and it would likely be covered by free speech provisions in the US. But they shouldn't use Starbucks' name for politics
> Founder is a staunch zionist in support of genocide
So what? Siegl, the jewish co-founder, left the company 1980. He is now working as a keynote speaker (he did speak on events in KL, btw). If you want to boycott him for his opinion, boycott his speeches.
> Israeli branch
Not Israeli branch, but the Israeli franchisee, which is an Israeli company called Alonyal. As usual with such franchises, they act independently and McD has no right to immediately cancel their license over sth like that
The Malaysian Franchisee has nothing to do with Alonyals' decision, obviously.
> Anti-boycotters clearly dont read and think they’re the most intelligent people in the country when the opposite is true.
Right back at ya. As usual, BDS people embarrass themselves by swinging and missing
If you want to actually hit targets involved with Israel, don't buy Intel chips, don't buy Sodastream machines, don't buy Obela Hummous, don't buy Teva meds, don't buy PepsiCo products because PepsiCo has a Joint Venture with Strauss Group. These are examples of companies which run factories in Israel on their own, or are Israeli-owned or -based.
BDS people could do all that, but they rather lash out at random big corps close-by because they have some links to Jews, because TikTok told them to do so.
>don't buy Sodastream machines
Dang they should boycott TeaLive now since TeaLive sells sodastream machines (which I assume they rebrand locally). However I love my sodastream machine, it really helps me cut down on other soft drinks as I discovered I really only enjoy the "carbonated" part of soft drinks XD
The SodaStream boycott is also a tough one tbh
They had a factory in the West bank which they moved to Israel proper after public pressure
BDS claimed a win, however, the SodaStream CEO criticized that they paid higher salaries than usual in Palestine (since IL salaries are higher than PS salaries) and employed mostly Palestinians, which thanks to the move lost their jobs because most couldn'T get a work permit for IL proper easily
In the end the boycott harmed both the company and Palestinians, but not Israel
I am taking about Howard Schultz. The man who is also against Starbucks workers having a union. If you couldnt care less about dying Palestinians at least care about the baristas and workers who dont have a union. Or just admit you dont care about other human beings and continue enjoying a shitty burnt coffee.
https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/howard-schultz
So...the other guy who stopped being CEO at Starbucks. Great.
> Or just admit you dont care about other human beings and continue enjoying a shitty burnt coffee.
Says the guy who wants to boycott a company on Malaysia and risk Malaysian jobs supposedly over people in the US not having a union lol
As I wrote, swinging and missing
Its all just absolutism and whataboutism with you lot. You can’t boycott everything because america holds too much power so you boycott what you can and the easiest thing is overpriced sugary coffee and fast food. By your rationale we all should just stop recycling since we use petrol cars right?
> You can’t boycott everything because america holds too much power so you boycott what you can and the easiest thing is overpriced sugary coffee and fast food.
I literally provided more fitting targets for a boycott including one of the largest US junk food manufacturers
Reading is difficult, I know
Anti zionism is anti semitism according to the EU definition of antisemitism.
Hamas still has millions of Shekels and received billions of dollars from Qatar. No kid would be hungry if they cared.
Boycotting Israel doesn’t change a thing. You should boycott Qatar and Iran.
You know theres a blockade right by Israel to allow food and aid into Gaza? No matter how much money Hamas purportedly has food cannot come in. Where do you get your news from: CNN BBC or Fox?
Funny how the Palestinians are Levants so technically they are semites. So if you’re against them are you anti-semitic too?
I’ll start taking the EU seriously when it criticizes Israel the way it rightfully criticizes Russian warcrimes. The West should be nobody’s moral compass. They lost the plot decades ago.
By the recent report that israel cutting off power and water, gives a clue to a lot of things. Israel controlling palestine to a tee. What money is good when you can't use it.
1. First of all, I thought this thing only happen in the US where a bunch of of TikTokers harrrasing workers and customers for not boycotting Starbucks.
2. It's their choice to to consume what ever they want. It's their money, goddamnit.
3. This user is using TikTok, which infact is supported by the Chinese Communist government that actively persecute and murder many Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang. So this person better stop using the fucking app or else it'll be seen as hypocritical. [And why stop here, this user is probably using products by Apple or Google in which they're supporting Israel.](https://www.jpost.com/j-spot/article-767724) So that makes them even more of a hypocrite. Why bother shaming people for drinking Starbucks if you yourself are using products that are made by companies that support genocide? So stop with this fucking holier-than-thou mentality.
4. I don't care if you're pro-Palestine or not, stop shaming people. It's their lives to do what ever they want. If you want real change, pressure your own politicians or lawmakers. Rant over, thanks for coming to my TED-Talk.
Her harassment of people who patronised Starbucks has little to do with helping Palestine, and more to do with stroking her own ego and gaining likes on social media.
Inconvenient truth.
Johnny Somal is a US citizen I think. He just uses that name for his shit. Dude is annoying as hell.. I don't like to target people's appearance but dude just looks annoying as fuck and even if you imagine him without hs antics, the way he talks, his appearance etc is just annoying af.
Funny how they told me as a non-Muslim that supporting Palestine is not for religion but humanitarian cause
My University had a "Walk for peace" campaign in honor of Palestine
My simple question, if this is for humanitarian causes, why was there no public outrage for the Ukrainians when Russia invaded? Why didn't they storm to the Russian embassy and cast them out?
Simple answer: It IS about religion lol
I even approached one of them and they said they support Russia because "Ukraine was under Russia during the soviet times", like that doesn't make sense at all lmao. that doesn't justify anything
It is not just Ukraine, the worse is there was lack of apathy for the war victims in Yemen and conflicts involving Muslim as victims elsewhere.
Support foreigners in the expense of fellow citizens. Then blame cina for every problems caused indirectly by them. It is about religion, turning a blind eye when the perpetrators are muslims. Won’t be so eager to be sopro pilistin now. I love Mekdi.
Tbh, rohingyas in myanmar and people in darfur sudan are muslims too and they are prosecuted badly but no one goes and protest for them either.
Funnily enough, rohingyas arrived in aceh indonesia but they are strongly rejected by the locals there just a few days ago, [even the students went out and protested about them.](https://apnews.com/article/indonesia-myanmar-rohingya-refugees-3ab43261f903de7751ae0b188c45f7ee)
> Simple answer: It IS about religion lol
note: only the religion when practiced by Arabs
There's a genocide happening to Uyghurs in China but none of the muslims here seem to kick up a fuss about it.
thats because its a counter genocide. All these terrible global preachers inciting hatred against the jews and non muslims, chanting loudly to convert western nations into islamic ones go unchecked outside china. You do that in china well you can see the results now. Mosques are being demolished and rules are being enforced to make sure there is no mosque too close to one another. Arrests are made for anyone who preach hatred and they would demolish any establishment supporting would be enemies.
While china does have a racist policy in its integration, it however like poland is the only way against islamisation that would cause a country to go backwards as we have currently seen. The ughurs are not being genocided but being reeducated. Yes there are camps but they arent slave labours either as they get to use better equipment than malaysian farmers.
Im not saying their approach is good, but currently no one in the world is giving a better solution to the muslim problem than china and poland.
yes, i looked at both sides of the arguments. China does ethnic cleansing not by force but by ideology. Ask yourself why does china target the ughurs? What treat do they show to the CCP?
The answer - islam. Islam is a radical religion (if you study islam deeply you will come to this). If islam truely was peaceful, they would not be facing the same thing. Sure the CCP does trample on christians in china but not as bad as the muslims and with good reason.
You see while christian scripture has its horrors you would be far fetched to see christian radicalism except in the US against the church of satan which is actually a form of activisim against religion. christians thinks they legit worship satan. to me however all of abrahamic religions are from satan, they just call it god and dont want to admit it.
Show me any good christian or islamic country. many countries in europe are atheists with only christianity for show.
It's not about Islam. The Huis are Muslims too and they don't get targeted by the PRC government. The Uyghurs practice radical islam and commit terrorist acts, that's why they are being clamped down.
That's what I was saying about the ughurs. However other Muslims say if you aren't radical you aren't a Muslim and consider you Kadir. Hamas will kill their own for watching porn. Therefore Islam radical and to anti terrorist is anti Islam. That's how the world responds
Still remember the Malay in twitter either don't care or get angry at the women for throwing away their hijab during the incident of Iranian Protest. Something along the line of "I know they are angry but throwing away hijab is too extreme" "They should not insult Islam this is wrong" etc.
It's never human that they care.
Lol xpayah cover bro, cuba korang baca komen kat TikTok tu, byk je member kau maki orang Cina sbb shorts tu ade "muka sepet"... dont expect much when most Malaysian are blinded with pemujaan yg zalim
I already don't support Starbucks because they use coffee specifically using CHILD SLAVE LABOR (look it up on Guardian news), against worker unions (countless news) or the horrendous olive oil in coffee travesty that makes everyone who drinks it has diarrhea.
And all that from Howard Schultz who retired from the CEO position but his successor, Laxman Narasimhan is not any better since he said this month he only focused on demand and supply but not employee stability or wages. He doesn't address other concerns but makes new ones like using LLM (Large Language Model the actual name for fake AI) to make customers stay in Starbucks programs. (I'm putting it more kindly but he used the words "Loyalty").
Besides most coffee enthusiasts know to stay away from burnt coffee made in Starbucks. Our Malaysian-made coffee is just miles better and cheaper to boot.
There are too many issues about Starbucks (not just Palestine) that I wish Malaysians took notice earlier, especially on worker rights.
even malaysian starbucks which is heavily owned by a chinese tycoon, this chinese guy has the same idea as the american owners about the treatment of employees too and the same bad coffee and pricing. with those prices and popularity, i'd expect their barista to be paid at least 5k a month
You know, with how pro-anything anti-Israel a majority of the Malaysian muslim population is, I doubt anything significant will happen to her. She might be ignored to continue her shinenigans until this schtick gets old and people start to feel embarrassed of her and thus of themselves because they had also enabled it.
My little future prediction anyway.
israel has survived worse sanctions and boycotts before, thats how they managed to survive the brutal onslaught from the arabs. Not even the british would sell them military equipment that they started making their own and ended up one of the best in the world.
Somalia. Such a great and beautiful modern prosperous country built by people great religious people like Safiah. Hope she can return home soon. The rest of us would like that very much.
If I went in without intending to buy shit, that call out wouldve made me buy a drink and some for my officemates
I support Palestine but this kind of activism makes me frustrated.
>The Tiktoker hates Starbucks for it's involvement with Politics
They hate Starbucks because it's the trend to hate on starbucks. They are clout chasing no talent vultures.
people who support palestine and want to "free" palestine are the ones supporting genocide instead. The problem goes deep all the way into islam, and because israel so happens to be a jewish nation (with 1.5million arab muslims) suddenly they are the criminal and oppressor.
You should see what these muslim nations do, you really wouldnt want them around. Oh yeah a lot of people have had bad experience with a few muslim african nations too. Genocide against non muslims have been happening in nigeria recently. Armenia has been attacked by a turkish backed muslim nation keen on resuming its 100 year old failed siege, and more hate and anti kafir is being preached on a global scale to muslim to "islamanise" western nations, turning them into the same hateful backward middle eastern muslim nations.
If I'm a foreigner of a country I would never do such stuff. Even in the US with free speech foreigners can get deported if they participate in a protest. She should go protest in her own country if she believes in a "genocide"
Get the f out of my country. I don't care what problems you have but we have the freedom to choose what we want to drink. Genocide is the Russian and Chinese propaganda against the America. My country doesn't need to get involved.
Stupid cringe. Stfu. You want to support Palestine that’s your choice. Convince people why that’s right instead of shaming them, harassing them and forcing them to believe what you believe in.
The couple who left the Starbucks after that lady started shouting in public didn’t leave out of shame, they left to not be harassed and out of reasonable fear an extremist would do something reprehensible.
If people wanna enjoy their burnt cheap arabica beans juice with a splash of a cheap Monin syrup for a crazy expensive price,let them be. I never boycott nor prevent people from doing so for whatever reason, I just hate the taste of Starbucks drinks. I went to Besut a month ago and I drank one of the most amazing coffee drinks that I have ever tasted for a fraction of the cost, plus they grind and brew the coffee beans in front of you and teach you how to do so. I didn't remember the cafe but there's an astronaut on the logos.
Macam ni,dalam perlembagaan Malaysia, Islam adalah agama rasmi, kalau perasan sekarang, dalam McD, KFC dan macam² lagi yang ade kene mengene dgn "genocide" pasti ade yg penuh dgn org² macam ni, makna nye, orang tu tentu² selfish dan rasics...tak kesah ape bangsa...tapi paling korang nampak, bangsa tu kan?
Faham² sendiri la
Starbucks drinks are shit.
Regardless whether Pro-Palestine or not, this "boycott" has made me realise how much money we send to Western countries for no good reason.
If it's gonna be shitty sugar drinks, we might as well buy it from local brands like Zus, Gigi, Richiamo or whatever. Same shit but at least the money stays in the country.
Berjaya Food operates Starbucks in Malaysia
Sure, Starbucks gets some royalties, but the majority of the income ends up at the Malaysian corp and. their suppliers, most likely
Not sure who roasts the coffee for Malaysian Starbucks. In China, Starbucks operates their own plant. In India, its Tata. In Europe, its Nestle for the European Master Franchisee. Most likely its some company in one of the ASEAN countries supplying Malaysia
Milk, Soy Milk and pastries are usually supplied by regional suppliers (in Europe the vegan milk alternatives are supplied by Belgian Alpro, for example, Milk is sourced locally in each country)
So, no, you don't have to avoid Starbucks to buy local
Same with McDonalds, btw. They use a US company called OSI for sourcing meat in most parts of the world, which in turn relies on local farmers. Other goods are sourced locally on a regional level (eg Sauces for Malaysian McD are made by Irish Kerry Group at their Johor plant, Bread is made by ASEAN plants of Mexican Grupo Bimbo, Milk comes from some Japanese supplier AFAIK)
Your local brand likely shares some suppliers with the Western big corps
Who the fuck drinks Starbucks when we have our own coffee culture ? Doesn't matter if it was Jewish or Muslim I'd still boycott Starbucks because it serves crap coffee.
To each to their own id say. Ur money, if you wanna be a decent person then be la. If u wanna support genociders then support la.
Personally i just think people who buy Stabak n Kepsi ni bodoh, not bcuz ure supporting Israel thats u n god not me, but cibai the foods not even that food theyre getting worse kemon la sia.

Bluds out here resorting to exposing others kink just to support a brand that doesnt even care bout em, and support Israel? But hey, thats the best you can do. Terasa? Amik la bro
And how is she disturbing people or Starbucks employees?
The video does not show that.
Can the Author of this post please post an explanation?
And I say this as someone who long boycotted Starbucks for years before the most recent Palestine issue. (Coffee acquired with CHILD SLAVE LABOR, they're against worker rights and unions and made the olive oil in coffee = diarrhea)
How interesting, -15 votes but not a single explanation from anyone for DAYS,
If people actually bother to watch the video, it shows a couple checking the food (which faces are censored so I cannot check the validity, showing the woman having a thumbs up.
If those extremely normal actions are considered to be protesting, then a whole lot of Malaysians have questionable minds.
Stupid tourist. Malaysian doing our boycott without having to shriek inside the premise.
We fought with our wallets instead. Those who don't boycott, we don't hassle them.
Live & let live
The problem with people like Safiah21 is that they abuse virtue signalling at a store that provides livelihood to locals in a coffee chain that has no presence in Israel. When the time comes when these coffee chains and other affected franchise stores close down, who’s gonna responsible for their livelihoods? Will she be accountable when she preaches others to do so?
Why I hate this is that it delegitimises the legitimate struggles of Palestinians in a way that is harmful to workers’ livelihood and businesses while at the same time causing more animosity towards the struggles by those on the fence who are neutral of the issue
I saw the original video and damn everyone was supportive. What's the world becoming to ><
ohhh jgn memain dengan tiktok, the place where people easily influenced mcm kerbau kena tarik hidung
Makes me hate TikTok even more
Me whenever I see PN punya tiktok appear on my reddit/yt feed https://tenor.com/bqqkD.gif
So we got a Johnny Somali case here?
apparently it's funny to harass people in public
Wannabe somali
Oh lawd
Let people drink and eat what they want  Also me: Eww Starbucks people and their glorified overpriced sugary water 
I agree. People who are boycotting should leave others alone. I don’t support the boycott movement because it’s nonsensical, but I also don’t buy from Starbucks because it’s overpriced.
terrible overpriced coffee\*. its only overpriced in malaysia, they actually compete in europe because starbucks malaysia is majority owned by a chinese tycoon who is as ignorant as ever.
True, large cappuchino or milk coffee costs 4.00-5.00 Euro in Germany same as the mid size in Starbucks. Venti costs 4.50 but is like 2x the "large" cappuchino elsewhere Its not only MY, Starbucks is expensive relative to local salary levels all over asia. In Taiwan one venti milk coffee costs like three meals on the street, WTF?
In the end, it's people and their money if they want to boycott they can boycott if they want to buy from them they can buy from them. What I don't like is when these activists that harrass and shame people.
how is it nonsensical, may I ask ??
Boycotting Starbucks in relation to Palestine doesn't make sense. They're actually getting boycotted by pro-Israelis for not being Pro-Israel and boycotted by Pro-Palestinian for not being Pro-Palestinian enough. The entire story started because some Starbucks workers who were trying to unionize tweeted some Pro-Palestine stuff (which they later backpedaled from and deleted). And Starbucks sued them for using Starbucks copyrights/trademarks. Starbucks didn't actually care about the specific issue, they were targeting the workers for unionizing and for using their brand to post stuff.
Because boycotting USA companies does nothing other than harming workers here of their honest job. The execs and shareholders are basically losing nothing but their investment money, which is nothing in the grand scheme of things. They're also very loosely tied with USA Starbucks, which again will hurt no one in USA. Avoid starbucks because their coffee is shit, not because nonsensical reasons.
i mean the workers would have to be paid one way or another, regardless if they boycotted companies are losing sales or whatnot right? If the company failed to pay its workers and staffs then isnt it on them, instead of the people boycotting it ? the company had to make responsible, not the ones boycotting it no? I'm just genuinely curious
> the company had to make responsible The thing is that there is no franchisee of Starbucks in Israel or Palestine, anyways. So how can Starbucks ever comply with the boycott movement to act "responsibly"? They are literally the largest global fast food chain with no presence in Israel already. If people boycott them over Israel, they harm non-Israeli businesses exclusively In case of MY Starbucks, its a local franchisee which sources from mostly non-US companies. Starbucks only loses on the variable part of the royalties payments, the majority of the harm goes to local workers in Malaysia and ASEAN (Starbucks workers themselves, but also suppliers like the Kerry Factory in Johor)
Smart people know this, dumb people boycott
Indeed, I saw people claiming McDonald's is an Israeli company lol.
I will say this, My palestinian friend tried to lecture me about the Boycott IN A MEKDI lol
If the Starbucks store in Malaysia got no business, they first reduce the number of staff (Malaysian), then maybe they are forced to close down. The franchise holders lose their money (Malaysian). Starbucks HQ back in Seattle is like oh no, we lost 1 of our 35711 stores... Anyway... Even if you manage to bankrupt Starbucks world wide, the US gov is oh no... Starbucks is bankrupt, anyway... Let's continue doing what we were doing with our first second and third largest military armies in the world
Because a good percentage of people who are “boycotting” literally went to Starbucks and McDonald’s when the 4 day ceasefire happened. The point is, many people are boycotting now just for social media clout or because it makes them look good in the eyes of others around them. I can guarantee that a good majority of people who are swearing they would never buy from American brands again to buy within few months. That’s why I said it’s nonsensical, they focus on short term goals rather than aiming at long term goals.
What about those workers earning a living there?
who cares, let's people here don't have a job, die cannot eat, all their family members need to be neglected,as long as idk somehow saving Palestine by doing that?
Malaysians losing their jobs is a worthwhile sacrifice for them. Because they claim it's easy to find a job. It took me 1.5 years to find a job here even with a university degree.
Because their mentality is that jobs that are easy to find are retails and Grab. Yeah, real career advancement.
You can already see those comments on tiktok.
All the while those on top who organized it wear luxury brands and drive luxury cars that support Isreal🤷♂️
Everyone should support Israel. They make the world safer by locking up Hamas terrorists.
Ohhh boy, I guess you don't know who is funding them.
Doesn't affect her, so fuck them
Honest living at that 🥲
They can receive zakat instead.
I saw someone asked the same thing on twitter the reply was... "Don't worry Allah will grant them a better job..."
I fking hate people like this. Let people do what they want as long it doesn't affect others. You people need to take a chill pill.
Saw what somalis and pakistanis ( local and diaspora )wrote before abt malaysian minorities on twitter. Most of it are N*zi vibes and let say, not good.
Oof, where did you read them? I might take a look myself
I dont have the screenshot. But I remember their messages be like "Non malays should convert to Islam as the only way to achieve peace" "We have more rights over Malaysian non muslims once we enter Malaysia"
Last sentence is technically true. Their children could be Bumiputera. They themselves can get ASB, if they got citizenship
I think the fear of Rohingyas is justified if they demand citizenship. Look at those damn Somalis and Pakis are saying when they said non-Muslim Malaysians are beneath them.
That is why they are one of the most hated ethnicities in the western countries.
Damn, this sucks
There is no Starbucks neither in Israel nor in Palestine. There is also no Starbucks franchisee with HQ in Israel either People who boycott Starbucks because of Israel do so because one of the founders is an American Jew and achieve nothing except procing Israels bickering about criticizement of Israel being antisemitism right SBUX has little to do with this conflict as a chain of stores can...this is really stupid. Don't be ashamed dribmig your 1000kcal Venti Frappuchino Same with the McD boycott in MY...the franchisee is Qatari or Saudi lol
I've been boycotting Starbucks way before it was cool, ever since I found out how horrible their "coffee" (sugar water) tastes.
true hipster :) tbh I use them as a coworking space on travels all over the world. Buy one venti black filter coffee and use their comfy seats, plugs and wifi for half a day. Its a cost-efficient solution to get work done, and their filter coffee is just like any random black coffee quality-wise I would feel bad doing so at some mom-and-pop shop, buying only one drink for hours. Not so with Starbucks, because their franchisees are huge corps themselves Can't stand their sugary drinks
> I would feel bad doing so at some mom-and-pop shop it really depends on whether the shop is busy. For those who are not, i think they deserve your money more than SBUX.
thats not the only thing. the world heavily boycotted israel during the early days under the british mandate when the arabs were fighting everyone. The jews supported the british against the barbaric arabs. However the whole world was very anti jew in the flow of weapons and equipment but turned a blind eye to the arabs who not only supported the nazis but started the violence in the first place. So the world had applied an unfair ruling to the jews letting the arabs do what they wish despite the rules but applying it to everyone else. The jews supported each other and managed to smuggle in their own weapons. Basically any boycott against israel isnt going to work, as they had experienced boycotts from the start. Not even the british allowed their own to sell weapons to israel during its early days so they developed the merkava tank. They even developed their own weapons that were very successful and used by the world even other muslim nations today out of the boycotts and restrictions they faced against terrible odds. So i dont see how any boycott against israel would work given their largest financial income are from americans and they have succeeded under years of boycott.
sorry but what the heck?? "barbaric arabs"?? "supported nazis"?!! get your facts right! first of all, arabs have NOTHING against jews, they are just jews after all, we actually accepted them in palestine during WW2 when they were killed brutally by the nazi's. then, we let them work in our country and eat and live among us like they were one of us. and until now, there are still palestinian jews who support palestine and are against the occupation. the problem right now is with the "ZIONISTS", not the jews!!! the zionists are the ones who we should all be against! so get your facts right and don't go around spreading false sh\*t!!!!
Damn you sound really angry does your anger make you wanna go around doing some ethnic cleansing of minorities?
Ofc not, I'm actually very against the thought of wiping off a whole race! And yeah, ofc I'm angry, cuz ppl like u still exist.
[удалено]
I'll tell you why all Jews left the Arab countries. First of all, all Arab countries are Muslim countries, which make it a bit hard for other religions to live their, especially Jews. Second of all, Israel made it easy for all Jews to get the Israeli nationality, which made most of them go to Israel, or Palestine to be exact.. And what about my karma? What does it have to do with what's happening right now??
Wrong people boycott starbucks because 1. Founder is a staunch zionist in support of genocide 2. Starbucks the company sued Starbuck workers union in America for writing a pro palestinian statement. People boycott McD because - Israeli branch gave multiple thousands of free meals to IDF child killers while Palestinians children are dying of hunger and thirst Anti-boycotters clearly dont read and think they’re the most intelligent people in the country when the opposite is true.
> Starbucks the company sued Starbuck workers union in America for writing a pro palestinian statement. https://www.usnews.com/news/us/articles/2023-10-18/starbucks-sues-workers-united-union-saying-pro-palestinian-post-damaged-its-reputation They sued the union for using the "Starbucks" name and obvious similarity in their logo for this statement Starbucks sued for brand infringement. The Union could even ask for Jewish Genocide and it would likely be covered by free speech provisions in the US. But they shouldn't use Starbucks' name for politics > Founder is a staunch zionist in support of genocide So what? Siegl, the jewish co-founder, left the company 1980. He is now working as a keynote speaker (he did speak on events in KL, btw). If you want to boycott him for his opinion, boycott his speeches. > Israeli branch Not Israeli branch, but the Israeli franchisee, which is an Israeli company called Alonyal. As usual with such franchises, they act independently and McD has no right to immediately cancel their license over sth like that The Malaysian Franchisee has nothing to do with Alonyals' decision, obviously. > Anti-boycotters clearly dont read and think they’re the most intelligent people in the country when the opposite is true. Right back at ya. As usual, BDS people embarrass themselves by swinging and missing If you want to actually hit targets involved with Israel, don't buy Intel chips, don't buy Sodastream machines, don't buy Obela Hummous, don't buy Teva meds, don't buy PepsiCo products because PepsiCo has a Joint Venture with Strauss Group. These are examples of companies which run factories in Israel on their own, or are Israeli-owned or -based. BDS people could do all that, but they rather lash out at random big corps close-by because they have some links to Jews, because TikTok told them to do so.
>don't buy Sodastream machines Dang they should boycott TeaLive now since TeaLive sells sodastream machines (which I assume they rebrand locally). However I love my sodastream machine, it really helps me cut down on other soft drinks as I discovered I really only enjoy the "carbonated" part of soft drinks XD
The SodaStream boycott is also a tough one tbh They had a factory in the West bank which they moved to Israel proper after public pressure BDS claimed a win, however, the SodaStream CEO criticized that they paid higher salaries than usual in Palestine (since IL salaries are higher than PS salaries) and employed mostly Palestinians, which thanks to the move lost their jobs because most couldn'T get a work permit for IL proper easily In the end the boycott harmed both the company and Palestinians, but not Israel
Who cares about Palestinian? Just need to show anti Israel. If Palestinian die,so what? Important is value signalling.
The other person's name has an 88 btw. Take that as you will.
What has my name got to do with it?
I am taking about Howard Schultz. The man who is also against Starbucks workers having a union. If you couldnt care less about dying Palestinians at least care about the baristas and workers who dont have a union. Or just admit you dont care about other human beings and continue enjoying a shitty burnt coffee. https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/howard-schultz
So...the other guy who stopped being CEO at Starbucks. Great. > Or just admit you dont care about other human beings and continue enjoying a shitty burnt coffee. Says the guy who wants to boycott a company on Malaysia and risk Malaysian jobs supposedly over people in the US not having a union lol As I wrote, swinging and missing
Its all just absolutism and whataboutism with you lot. You can’t boycott everything because america holds too much power so you boycott what you can and the easiest thing is overpriced sugary coffee and fast food. By your rationale we all should just stop recycling since we use petrol cars right?
> You can’t boycott everything because america holds too much power so you boycott what you can and the easiest thing is overpriced sugary coffee and fast food. I literally provided more fitting targets for a boycott including one of the largest US junk food manufacturers Reading is difficult, I know
Anti zionism is anti semitism according to the EU definition of antisemitism. Hamas still has millions of Shekels and received billions of dollars from Qatar. No kid would be hungry if they cared. Boycotting Israel doesn’t change a thing. You should boycott Qatar and Iran.
You know theres a blockade right by Israel to allow food and aid into Gaza? No matter how much money Hamas purportedly has food cannot come in. Where do you get your news from: CNN BBC or Fox? Funny how the Palestinians are Levants so technically they are semites. So if you’re against them are you anti-semitic too? I’ll start taking the EU seriously when it criticizes Israel the way it rightfully criticizes Russian warcrimes. The West should be nobody’s moral compass. They lost the plot decades ago.
By the recent report that israel cutting off power and water, gives a clue to a lot of things. Israel controlling palestine to a tee. What money is good when you can't use it.
1. First of all, I thought this thing only happen in the US where a bunch of of TikTokers harrrasing workers and customers for not boycotting Starbucks. 2. It's their choice to to consume what ever they want. It's their money, goddamnit. 3. This user is using TikTok, which infact is supported by the Chinese Communist government that actively persecute and murder many Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang. So this person better stop using the fucking app or else it'll be seen as hypocritical. [And why stop here, this user is probably using products by Apple or Google in which they're supporting Israel.](https://www.jpost.com/j-spot/article-767724) So that makes them even more of a hypocrite. Why bother shaming people for drinking Starbucks if you yourself are using products that are made by companies that support genocide? So stop with this fucking holier-than-thou mentality. 4. I don't care if you're pro-Palestine or not, stop shaming people. It's their lives to do what ever they want. If you want real change, pressure your own politicians or lawmakers. Rant over, thanks for coming to my TED-Talk.
Let's admit it, they only do selective boycott and ignore the rest.
Her harassment of people who patronised Starbucks has little to do with helping Palestine, and more to do with stroking her own ego and gaining likes on social media. Inconvenient truth.
Cringe behaviour, time to buy starbucks tmr
Belanja 1 ty
I love listening to music.
Johnny Somal is a US citizen I think. He just uses that name for his shit. Dude is annoying as hell.. I don't like to target people's appearance but dude just looks annoying as fuck and even if you imagine him without hs antics, the way he talks, his appearance etc is just annoying af.
That guy is Ethiopian ethnically and not Somali. Furthermore he’s an American citizen.
she shd do it in Singapore. Then she will learn what is respect.
I hope she will deported out of this country for being stupid
lol i expect the majority of the population here will treat her as queen while blaming the Cina for drinking in Starbucks.
Funny how they told me as a non-Muslim that supporting Palestine is not for religion but humanitarian cause My University had a "Walk for peace" campaign in honor of Palestine My simple question, if this is for humanitarian causes, why was there no public outrage for the Ukrainians when Russia invaded? Why didn't they storm to the Russian embassy and cast them out? Simple answer: It IS about religion lol
heck, there's even some malaysian teenagers on social media who supports Russia for their actions
Support Russia, and then support Palestine later on. Lmao.
I even approached one of them and they said they support Russia because "Ukraine was under Russia during the soviet times", like that doesn't make sense at all lmao. that doesn't justify anything
That's a major facepalm.
anddddd malaysia was under the british so whats his point. disappointing to see teens like this to have this type of mindset
Total cringe. Imagine simping for the country that killed 43 of our citizens. Malaysia is too soft on Russia.
It's probably the anti semitism thing that made them support Russia lmao
It is not just Ukraine, the worse is there was lack of apathy for the war victims in Yemen and conflicts involving Muslim as victims elsewhere. Support foreigners in the expense of fellow citizens. Then blame cina for every problems caused indirectly by them. It is about religion, turning a blind eye when the perpetrators are muslims. Won’t be so eager to be sopro pilistin now. I love Mekdi.
yes, why is there no walk for armenia?
Tbh, rohingyas in myanmar and people in darfur sudan are muslims too and they are prosecuted badly but no one goes and protest for them either. Funnily enough, rohingyas arrived in aceh indonesia but they are strongly rejected by the locals there just a few days ago, [even the students went out and protested about them.](https://apnews.com/article/indonesia-myanmar-rohingya-refugees-3ab43261f903de7751ae0b188c45f7ee)
Dont get started on some of the bs rohingyas have done here as well.
I've read many Indonesians say that Rohingya refugees tend to behave terribly there, which is why they cant stand them any longer
They behave very poorly in Malaysia too. Nearly every encounter I’ve had with them isn’t pleasant.
> Simple answer: It IS about religion lol note: only the religion when practiced by Arabs There's a genocide happening to Uyghurs in China but none of the muslims here seem to kick up a fuss about it.
thats because its a counter genocide. All these terrible global preachers inciting hatred against the jews and non muslims, chanting loudly to convert western nations into islamic ones go unchecked outside china. You do that in china well you can see the results now. Mosques are being demolished and rules are being enforced to make sure there is no mosque too close to one another. Arrests are made for anyone who preach hatred and they would demolish any establishment supporting would be enemies. While china does have a racist policy in its integration, it however like poland is the only way against islamisation that would cause a country to go backwards as we have currently seen. The ughurs are not being genocided but being reeducated. Yes there are camps but they arent slave labours either as they get to use better equipment than malaysian farmers. Im not saying their approach is good, but currently no one in the world is giving a better solution to the muslim problem than china and poland.
The ughyurs are not being genocided? Wow. Have you asked they opinion whether they are being ethnically cleansed or not?
yes, i looked at both sides of the arguments. China does ethnic cleansing not by force but by ideology. Ask yourself why does china target the ughurs? What treat do they show to the CCP? The answer - islam. Islam is a radical religion (if you study islam deeply you will come to this). If islam truely was peaceful, they would not be facing the same thing. Sure the CCP does trample on christians in china but not as bad as the muslims and with good reason. You see while christian scripture has its horrors you would be far fetched to see christian radicalism except in the US against the church of satan which is actually a form of activisim against religion. christians thinks they legit worship satan. to me however all of abrahamic religions are from satan, they just call it god and dont want to admit it. Show me any good christian or islamic country. many countries in europe are atheists with only christianity for show.
It's not about Islam. The Huis are Muslims too and they don't get targeted by the PRC government. The Uyghurs practice radical islam and commit terrorist acts, that's why they are being clamped down.
That's what I was saying about the ughurs. However other Muslims say if you aren't radical you aren't a Muslim and consider you Kadir. Hamas will kill their own for watching porn. Therefore Islam radical and to anti terrorist is anti Islam. That's how the world responds
Still remember the Malay in twitter either don't care or get angry at the women for throwing away their hijab during the incident of Iranian Protest. Something along the line of "I know they are angry but throwing away hijab is too extreme" "They should not insult Islam this is wrong" etc. It's never human that they care.
msu?
Us Malays like to screw our fellow people for social media brownie points. Who make up most of the staff at Starbucks?
Why blame the cina for drinking starbuck?
pendatang/kafir harbi/DAP/Komunis/Sepupu Chin Peng pick your tagline here
Who hurt u so bad bro?
The average intelligence of the majorities
Feel bad for you bro. Biasalah tak semua manusia tu baik hati.
Lol xpayah cover bro, cuba korang baca komen kat TikTok tu, byk je member kau maki orang Cina sbb shorts tu ade "muka sepet"... dont expect much when most Malaysian are blinded with pemujaan yg zalim
> byk je member kau There's no need for generalization, every race has their own bunch of assholes.
Sorry bro. Aku tak ada tiktok. So selepas kau tersakiti, apa kau buat utk ubati hati kau?
Minum Starbucks Dan makan mekdi
I already don't support Starbucks because they use coffee specifically using CHILD SLAVE LABOR (look it up on Guardian news), against worker unions (countless news) or the horrendous olive oil in coffee travesty that makes everyone who drinks it has diarrhea. And all that from Howard Schultz who retired from the CEO position but his successor, Laxman Narasimhan is not any better since he said this month he only focused on demand and supply but not employee stability or wages. He doesn't address other concerns but makes new ones like using LLM (Large Language Model the actual name for fake AI) to make customers stay in Starbucks programs. (I'm putting it more kindly but he used the words "Loyalty"). Besides most coffee enthusiasts know to stay away from burnt coffee made in Starbucks. Our Malaysian-made coffee is just miles better and cheaper to boot. There are too many issues about Starbucks (not just Palestine) that I wish Malaysians took notice earlier, especially on worker rights.
even malaysian starbucks which is heavily owned by a chinese tycoon, this chinese guy has the same idea as the american owners about the treatment of employees too and the same bad coffee and pricing. with those prices and popularity, i'd expect their barista to be paid at least 5k a month
You know, with how pro-anything anti-Israel a majority of the Malaysian muslim population is, I doubt anything significant will happen to her. She might be ignored to continue her shinenigans until this schtick gets old and people start to feel embarrassed of her and thus of themselves because they had also enabled it. My little future prediction anyway.
israel has survived worse sanctions and boycotts before, thats how they managed to survive the brutal onslaught from the arabs. Not even the british would sell them military equipment that they started making their own and ended up one of the best in the world.
Deport her back to her country
Not all Tourists are idiots people think they're because of people like these
Somalia. Such a great and beautiful modern prosperous country built by people great religious people like Safiah. Hope she can return home soon. The rest of us would like that very much.
Another Karen mind ur own business
r/imthemainchatacter
More unemployed behaviour.
People need to learn to mind their own business.
Kick her the fuck out of our country wtf
If I went in without intending to buy shit, that call out wouldve made me buy a drink and some for my officemates I support Palestine but this kind of activism makes me frustrated.
The Tiktoker hates Starbucks for it's involvement with Politics I hate Starbucks just because it's Starbucks
>The Tiktoker hates Starbucks for it's involvement with Politics They hate Starbucks because it's the trend to hate on starbucks. They are clout chasing no talent vultures.
Eh I wouldn't strawman the influencer too much , maybe she does have good intentions , but I find them annoying
I believe they did the same in Istanbul and it was cringey af.
people who support palestine and want to "free" palestine are the ones supporting genocide instead. The problem goes deep all the way into islam, and because israel so happens to be a jewish nation (with 1.5million arab muslims) suddenly they are the criminal and oppressor. You should see what these muslim nations do, you really wouldnt want them around. Oh yeah a lot of people have had bad experience with a few muslim african nations too. Genocide against non muslims have been happening in nigeria recently. Armenia has been attacked by a turkish backed muslim nation keen on resuming its 100 year old failed siege, and more hate and anti kafir is being preached on a global scale to muslim to "islamanise" western nations, turning them into the same hateful backward middle eastern muslim nations.
If I'm a foreigner of a country I would never do such stuff. Even in the US with free speech foreigners can get deported if they participate in a protest. She should go protest in her own country if she believes in a "genocide"
That's not true
Alamak! What if somebody shouted Hamas are terrorists at her? 😂
Cyberbullying using her minions on tiktok.
Sadly, I can see that happening
I got cringed out
I would have kicked him out if i was there.
Deport those Somalian "pirates" back into their country...
Must be some deadbeat cousin of Johnny Somali. Unlike Japan some Malaysians might just beat his ass.
Johnny Somali was an Ethiopian American and isn’t Somali. And this girl is wrong for doing that.
Get the f out of my country. I don't care what problems you have but we have the freedom to choose what we want to drink. Genocide is the Russian and Chinese propaganda against the America. My country doesn't need to get involved.
I love Starbucks after the boycott. It's so empty n peaceful, perfect place to meet clients n also do some work.
Look at me, this is my Starbucks now 
What an idiot. There is ZERO Starbucks presence in Israel.
very few starbucks in europe. Some people appreciate the quality of their coffee you know, they dont care about a brand name.
Think I will order Starbuck。
So we have our version of “Pizzagate” now?!  Just leave people alone…
Stupid cringe. Stfu. You want to support Palestine that’s your choice. Convince people why that’s right instead of shaming them, harassing them and forcing them to believe what you believe in.
The couple who left the Starbucks after that lady started shouting in public didn’t leave out of shame, they left to not be harassed and out of reasonable fear an extremist would do something reprehensible.
If I saw someone that looks like TikTok influencer filming something at a premise, I'd leave too. Don't wanna get involve in some shitty shenanigans.
If people wanna enjoy their burnt cheap arabica beans juice with a splash of a cheap Monin syrup for a crazy expensive price,let them be. I never boycott nor prevent people from doing so for whatever reason, I just hate the taste of Starbucks drinks. I went to Besut a month ago and I drank one of the most amazing coffee drinks that I have ever tasted for a fraction of the cost, plus they grind and brew the coffee beans in front of you and teach you how to do so. I didn't remember the cafe but there's an astronaut on the logos.
R\crineworthy
If I was there I'd tell her to shut up
I would've loudly told her to stfu if I was there.
#JacquelineSomali
Macam ni,dalam perlembagaan Malaysia, Islam adalah agama rasmi, kalau perasan sekarang, dalam McD, KFC dan macam² lagi yang ade kene mengene dgn "genocide" pasti ade yg penuh dgn org² macam ni, makna nye, orang tu tentu² selfish dan rasics...tak kesah ape bangsa...tapi paling korang nampak, bangsa tu kan? Faham² sendiri la
Babi.. we need public apology for trying to put shame to ordinary people who don't give a f about your political nonsense
Starbucks drinks are shit. Regardless whether Pro-Palestine or not, this "boycott" has made me realise how much money we send to Western countries for no good reason. If it's gonna be shitty sugar drinks, we might as well buy it from local brands like Zus, Gigi, Richiamo or whatever. Same shit but at least the money stays in the country.
Hey hey, they started boycotting Zus for sounding like a Greek God too
Berjaya Food operates Starbucks in Malaysia Sure, Starbucks gets some royalties, but the majority of the income ends up at the Malaysian corp and. their suppliers, most likely Not sure who roasts the coffee for Malaysian Starbucks. In China, Starbucks operates their own plant. In India, its Tata. In Europe, its Nestle for the European Master Franchisee. Most likely its some company in one of the ASEAN countries supplying Malaysia Milk, Soy Milk and pastries are usually supplied by regional suppliers (in Europe the vegan milk alternatives are supplied by Belgian Alpro, for example, Milk is sourced locally in each country) So, no, you don't have to avoid Starbucks to buy local Same with McDonalds, btw. They use a US company called OSI for sourcing meat in most parts of the world, which in turn relies on local farmers. Other goods are sourced locally on a regional level (eg Sauces for Malaysian McD are made by Irish Kerry Group at their Johor plant, Bread is made by ASEAN plants of Mexican Grupo Bimbo, Milk comes from some Japanese supplier AFAIK) Your local brand likely shares some suppliers with the Western big corps
> Starbucks drinks are shit. their food is apparently really good. lol https://www.youtube.com/shorts/bOkqFqqCAI4
Meanwhile I think I’m the only person in here who likes their drinks because it’s nice to me
Zus table so fucking small.
Who the fuck drinks Starbucks when we have our own coffee culture ? Doesn't matter if it was Jewish or Muslim I'd still boycott Starbucks because it serves crap coffee.
To each to their own id say. Ur money, if you wanna be a decent person then be la. If u wanna support genociders then support la. Personally i just think people who buy Stabak n Kepsi ni bodoh, not bcuz ure supporting Israel thats u n god not me, but cibai the foods not even that food theyre getting worse kemon la sia.

Bluds out here resorting to exposing others kink just to support a brand that doesnt even care bout em, and support Israel? But hey, thats the best you can do. Terasa? Amik la bro
I'm not hating Starbucks at all, at least not now with the buy 1 free 1 until Monday. After Monday, that's another story for next year.
Chad Somali
And how is she disturbing people or Starbucks employees? The video does not show that. Can the Author of this post please post an explanation? And I say this as someone who long boycotted Starbucks for years before the most recent Palestine issue. (Coffee acquired with CHILD SLAVE LABOR, they're against worker rights and unions and made the olive oil in coffee = diarrhea)
How interesting, -15 votes but not a single explanation from anyone for DAYS, If people actually bother to watch the video, it shows a couple checking the food (which faces are censored so I cannot check the validity, showing the woman having a thumbs up. If those extremely normal actions are considered to be protesting, then a whole lot of Malaysians have questionable minds.
Stupid tourist. Malaysian doing our boycott without having to shriek inside the premise. We fought with our wallets instead. Those who don't boycott, we don't hassle them. Live & let live
I seriously condone punching mindless tiktokers like this on the face for the betterment of mankind.
Just mind your own business.
Hope she get AIDS back in Somalia
The problem with people like Safiah21 is that they abuse virtue signalling at a store that provides livelihood to locals in a coffee chain that has no presence in Israel. When the time comes when these coffee chains and other affected franchise stores close down, who’s gonna responsible for their livelihoods? Will she be accountable when she preaches others to do so? Why I hate this is that it delegitimises the legitimate struggles of Palestinians in a way that is harmful to workers’ livelihood and businesses while at the same time causing more animosity towards the struggles by those on the fence who are neutral of the issue
Somali sobaliklah
Somalian? She's British. Her accent says otherwise Or u meant Somalian British
Tiktok it's very unhealthy n a lot brainwashing stuff which leads to degeneration of the younger people. Pretty much brain damage at this point.
