At question was whether it was prudent for the company to risk the return for its investors by advocating for gay marriage. The questioner also expressed disappointment with the company’s most recent results and claimed they were partly driven by the boycott Starbucks faced about the gay marriage issue.
Schultz later said that if the shareholder remained unhappy with the 38% annual return on value the company provided, “You can sell your shares of Starbucks. It’s a free country.”

Funny!
Even better. lol
Starbucks...celebrating sodomy, one cup at a time!
Thanks! We can’t think of anything much easier than to avoid throwing away our money on their amazingly-tasteless coffee.
OK.
I have lots of options!
I shall stay away from Starbucks and their products!
These filthy degenerates already use the rainbow as a symbol for their perverted lifestyle, now they're onto mathematical symbols. Pathetic!
LOLS
The slow suicide by Starbucks begins.
Some people, probably former employees, have put Starbucks’ recipes online as free downloads.
As to Starbucks CEO's slap at stockholders, I don't own stock nor would I purchase any in his company but I can now purchase my coffee elsewhere, since he probably doesn't want my bigoted business either!
starbucks has NEVER gotten a diem from me nor will they ever- especially now- enjoy your loss of revenue- it’ll be worth every penny
Okay. It's a deal.
Yeah but Starbucks fanbase is all liberal anyway. They won’t lose business from this.
“Starbucks CEO Doesn’t Want Your Money If You’re Against Gay Marriage”
Well, I certainly can accommodate him. I don’t like paying $5.00 for cup of coffee anyway.
And he isn’t going to get it.
That’s great because they have never gotten one thin dime of my money anyway.
Yep, boycott away.
I will never buy anything from them or own their stock.
Starbucks, if alienating the marketplace is part of your business plan, then it is soon time for you to do the marketplace a favor. Die. Shrivel up. Go extinct. If claiming to make a 38% ROI means you can get away with insulting your shareholders and a good chunk of your customer base, then let me know how your expanding hat size worked for you 3 years down the road. Great career move!
No problem. Can’t remember the last time i bought any of their overpriced, burnt junk. I’ve been patronizing a small locally owned and operated coffee place - when i don’t just make my own.
