Dunkin Donuts has much better coffee

Not to mention at a more reasonable price. Can't wait until it hits the Bay Area, so I can save shipping costs on getting my supply.

If the Left hadn’t long ago perfected the art of phony outrage, I’d agree entirely with you.

If the veteran can take Starbucks and the employee to the cleaners, I say go for it.

[ArmyTeach]

Agree. Any confirmation that the Starbuck’s ‘greeter’ was in fact Muslim?

[EQAndyBuzz]

Please do. I do the same thing.

I was not impressed with his argument. It sounded to me like he just wanted money.

It could be a trending strategy inspired by the guy (Charles Hernandez) who was suing both KFC ($1 million) and McDonalds ($2 million) and obtained a private settlement.

Don’t know who the “greeter” was.

[Prospero]

What an a'ole. Wouldn't I loved to have been there, but I quit buying into the Starbucks meme a long time ago.

It’s so easy to boycott a coffee chain with lousy overpriced coffee that expects you to speak coffee-language when you place an order.

What you said, in Spades, except I learned how to speak "coffee-language" from Juan Valdez, and the difference between "rat coffee" and conscientiously-brewed coffee from my mother. What a difference a clean coffee apparatus makes.

I’d start boycotting them, but I already do.

Same here. Starbucks is way overpriced and great to skip, even at an airport where alternatives can be scarce.

The reward for having an opposable thumb.
