Boycot Starbucks!

The guy is a total charlaton trying to pull votes away from the Democratic canidates. Both sides my ass you are a fucking corporate shill muthafucker & do not have any new ideas.

Any 3rd party vote is a vote for Trump I can't believe I have to say that after all we have been through

I can't think of a better way to protest his nonsense even if he is no longer CEO. His name is tied to the corp.

But I just saw the ass on the top of the news that means they are pushing him. A "interview" or free media blast tomorrow.

Whatever we can do to shut him down so be it. He can have all the Repukes he wants.

He is the individual with the most shares in Starbucks, 35 million shares, the next highest individual only has about half a million shares. Targeting Starbucks still sends the appropriate message.

Re-discovered the old school-much bettah coffee.

I walked into Starbucks when they were fairly new- $2.00 for a coffee? Ya goddabekiddinme.

Only on road trips will I pay extra & I choose on of the many indepent sellers.

And for the price of one cup from Starbucks, I can buy coffee for weeks.

it was never a foregone conclusion that electing an ego-driven billionaire with zero amount of government experience would be a disaster, so now that, surprisingly, it didn't work out so well, people will have gotten the message. Or not

I thought it was obvious last time people seemed to be ready to give sixty million votes to an ego-driven billionaire with no government experience.

Yet, here we are.
