The machine in the break room where I am makes excellent hot chocolate.

Your office is in the break room? Must be convenient.

“Well... they are opening a new store in Iraq”

We’ll see how long that store lasts before it’s either bombed or the entire staff is gunned down in a mindless effort to send the West a “message”.

In my small store I used to buy 10 cups of Starbucks daily and stopped when they denied a request to send some to our soldiers. Now I brew a much better coffee myself for all my employees and save a lot of money, money that I am sending to Wounded Warriors.

I don’t hang around the break room much other than raiding a vending machine. I dine in my rather comfortable office upstairs with headphones on watching some classic TV.

When I did do lunch there, I was bugged to no end with people’s IT problems. Drove me crazy.

3 ears ago, I was given a $15 Starbucks gift card. There are two within sight of my office window and I still have about $10 on the card.

If you get coffee at Mcd’s it probably comes from either S&D, Gavina or Distant lands Coffee. In SoCal Gavina was the supplier (Gaviña is based in southern California. Founded in 1967 by Cuban immigrants) and they always supplied the best coffee I can remember, way better than that burned brown acid starflucks sells.

It appears "never again" was a bit premature...

If I'm brewing it at home I use Manana Madera. It's a little pricey but well worth it.

If I'm on the road (and I am often) it's McD's. I never go to Starbucks and I trust no one else.

Lots of businesses do not want to operate in a place where muslim terrorists are constantly trying to blow things up and kill people.
But Israel is not missing anything not having any Starbucks there...........

Unlike far-left fanatics I expect private businesses to perform to their own self-interest. In the same fashion, my self-interest leads me to not ever having had a Starbucks product in at least a decade if not longer. I wonder if a future world will remove both of these freedoms?
