I’ve never set foot in a Starbucks so I can’t boycott them, but I encourage anyone who does go there to stop.

Glad I never go to Starbucks, other than to use the restroom. Last time I was there, which has been several years now, they still had one for men and one for women.

Once upon a time, Starbucks was useful for the free Wi-Fi. Now that McDonald's, Wendy's and many, many others are offering it (and sell reasonably priced food and drinks to boot), not so much.

Starbucks has a clear path to future profitability and return to their investors. They merely need to complete their transformation to being an illegal alien-based customer base.

Reddit.com/r/the_donald started a movement to boycott yesterday.

Stock tanks today.

Coincidence?

How much of the 3% per store gain is just price increases?

They’ll turn it around when they hire hairy, smelly male refugees as their baristas.

Karma for a snarky leftist company which makes and overcharges for burnt nasty-tasting coffee. But the important thing is that they think they’re morally superior LMAO!!!

Well, when you broadcast that you’re going to hire 10,000 ILLEGALS .. what were they expecting the “not working” American Citizens think ..??

So, the American citizen is not a good employee .. or is it even more sinister .. they want the CHEAPER LABOR.

So much for the $15/hr wage.

I have a gift card to the place too, unfortunately. I wish people would just give me an Eat n Park gift card.

Or you can go into a Tarbucks, buy an item/s that uses up the value of the card and give it to a homeless person (if you want to be cruel) or just throw it away.

Gift cards are a way of companies making money, knowing that a certain percentage will go without being used. In other words, free money for doing nothing.

Buying something actual means Tarbucks has to give you something for that money.

I sat for 10 minutes imagining this scene where I live (in Germany). So, Starbucks would be stupid enough to go forward on idea, and you’d start to see mostly 50-percent refugees hired at these various Starbucks. Language problems? Even after the one-year of school....the accent issue will be bad enough that customers will just skip the place.

The male-chauvinistic character from North Africa or Middle-East? It’ll be a problem which drives most German females who are currently working there....out.

Somewhere along the summer of 2019...someone will have a meeting at Starbucks in Europe and discuss these various problems that have been generated....possibly a quarter-of-the normal weekly business gone. The fix...just quietly refuse to hire anymore refugees and hope in three years that people have forgotten about this whole stupid agenda idea.

Starbucks coffee is massively overpriced and has a strong, burned taste to it. MacDonald’s has better coffee than Starbucks.

My husband just bought a “plunger” type coffee maker that makes vastly better coffee for far less money.

Another reason to BOYCOTT STARBUCKS!

Starbucks says it will hire 10,000 refugees over the next 5 years in response to Trump’s travel ban

I will not patron Starbucks after Alt-Left CEO announced plans to displace thousands of Americans and American jobs with “Muslim refugees” from passports from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen - all terrorist hotbeds and destinations of Islamic extremists traveling to these destinations for terrorist training.
