OPERATION # TRUMPCUP TAKES OFF, FORCING STARBUCKS BARISTAS TO SHOUT THE NAME

Starbucks customers across the country have begun placing orders under the name ‘Trump,’ forcing baristas to shout the President-elect’s name when drinks are ready.

A Starbucks employee sparked controversy earlier this month when he called the police on a Donald Trump supporter.

Operation #TrumpCup is an apparent backlash against that incident as well as other cases of discrimination against Republicans.

It’s spread like wildfire across the internet, becoming a phenomenon almost overnight.

Many prominent conservatives have posted pictures of themselves participating and have encouraged their fans to join in. Some critics of the #TrumpCup movement have pointed out that it’s a bit weird to protest against Starbucks by buying more Starbucks.

However, Tim Treadstone – one of the movement’s founders who goes by the name @bakedalaska on Twitter – said this is not a protest but, rather, a statement of support for the President-elect.

Little chance of that since they would have to sit down.

Funny idea, but I would never let a food/bev server know I support Trump. Some of them would surely do something nasty to the drink or food.

Wow this is stupid. I thought childish antics were the domain of the left.

Once the CEO said “Don’t come here if you don’t support gay marriage” I took even less of almost no business there, elsewhere.

Someone suggested we meet there down near Houston - we then took our meeting elsewhere. I was happy to not allow Starbuck’s money that day from my associate who was kindly picking up the tab.

Sorry folks but I don’t think harassing folks trying to earn a living is a good or decent thing to do — it’s the type of “action” that ‘RATS & other leftists like to take. I’m sure that not every barista is a progressive.

The ones that aren’t leftists won’t mind.

The ones that are-screw ‘em.

Yes, a better idea is to take your business to Another Coffee Place.

I agree. Only went there for basically hot chocolate with some of the office guys in the mid 1990’s. Boss liked to get out of the office and have a meeting there. I’m like, hey, OK.

After that, never much at all. Probably 3 times or so to a max of 5 the next 20 years. I laughed when they had to close 1,000 stores.

Dunkin’ Donuts has some great iced coffee. I want to go there again for one. Our Krispy Kreme in that city closed. :(

But that’s not as much fun. And nobody gets to know why you’re doing that. This is a war, and like any war, psychology plays a role. Honestly, their business seems fine with many conservatives avoiding Starbucks. So I think this is fun for now — I’m sure it’ll be over shortly.
