“Smart move. Half of their customers are conservatives.”
Do you think? We tend to be a little more...ahhhhh...fiscally conservative...
Any credence to the email thats floating around where a group of soldiers asked Starbucks for some coffee delivered during a flight layover?
Starbucks allegedly replies “thank you for enjoying our coffee but unfortunetaly we do not support the war nor anyone in it.”
I think the email was legit, but was the isolated view of whoever was typing at the computer at that store at that time.

I find that hard to believe.Although I have no hard stats (if any exist) my gut tells me that the majority...very probably a large majority...of Starbuck's customers are "progressives".
Among the many things that leads me to that conclusion is this....think about your last visit there.Picture in your mind the front display and focus on the bottles water they sell.It's called "Ethos",IIRC.And on the bottle the maker boasts of how a percentage of what they make from the product goes to bringing clean water to Third World countries.
This clearly means that Starbucks believes (correctly,I'll wager) that their typical patron can't even take a swig of water without feeling guilt.

Smart move. Nothing like pissing off an armed customer after he has had a couple of double latte’s. Those caffine people get a might edgy.
