For all intents and purposes, the guy essentially sells a luxury product.
As more and more people find themselves in shaky employment, it is easy to dismiss a $5.99 cup of coffee to have a $1.59 cup elsewhere.

“It looks like Trump isn’t going to get the artsy, fartsy designer coffee crowd. “

Trust me, nobody thinks Starbucks is artsy fartsy designer coffee. They are the Walmart of coffee. They are barely above the 7-11 cup.

Good news! I have a local cafe that gives me a great double-espresso for $3.

Here in West Texas, we’re all in for Trump so any protest signage at the local Starbucks will be superfluous.

Very,*very*,infrequently....only when I'm truly desperate...I visit a Starbucks.I made such a visit a few weeks ago.I couldn't help but notice,as I had on previous visits,that they sell a bottles water called,IIRC,"Ethos".

The leftist clowns who hang out at Starbucks can't even drink water without feeling guilty!!!!

Anyone here own a non-chain coffee shop? Would be fun to see Trump tweet out he got the endorsement of the “CEO” of small business competitor to Starbucks and it means more to him than the Starbucks CEO.

Wooo...Hooo!

Atlantic & Pacific 8-O’Clock
Good stuff and remembrance from my formative years in the 60’s and 70’s.

I miss the local A&P grocery.

Way to alienate half of your customer base.

Anyway, their coffee is too expensive. I never buy it just for that reason.

Loved those bright red fragrant coffee grinders at the end of the cashier lanes. Formative years, indeed!

Geez. How many baristas with worthless degrees and no other future can they possibly employ? When folks run out of jobs, and other peoples’ money runs out, who’s going to buy your overpriced swill?

My Gramma Bertha introduced our family to 8-O’Clock in the late 60’s. Great aroma while brewing!

I have yet to find ^acceptable^ K-Cup representations for my Keurig. Yes, they exist but they aren’t the same from my past. Too sad.

Another reason never to drink their over-priced, over-strong, bitter coffee!

But, he’s probably hoping that, under a Hillary reign, it will be determined that people have a basic human right to have Starbucks coffee, and the rest of us will be buying $5.99 cups of coffee for the “poor people”. (Does Starbucks take EBT cards?)
