I walked out of a coffee shop recently. They offered two varieties, dark roast and light roast. The light roast had the pink ribbon, the dark roast did not. When I asked for a dark roast, I was told they were out of dark roast right then and only had light roast available. I told them I did not want any money to go to Komen and said I'd go elsewhere for my coffee. I think they purposely did not make the dark roast so more people would be led to buy the light.

I have told many store clerks why I would not buy any of their merchandise if it was connected to Komen and I have to look hard to find golf balls without the pink ribbon.

I will do without something I want rather than give them a penny.

Or more straightforwardly they sold out of dark roast because most people wanted it.

I've got plenty without them, however they mostly have tobacco logos on them.
