In an act of unbelievable stupidity, Starbucks has decided to be a huge, major sponsor of the right-wing propaganda show “Morning Joe”.
No more Starbucks for me.
And this isn’t just a few commercials they’ve decided to air, or their logo flashing on the screen, or even a voiceover with someone saying “brought to you by Starbucks”.
No. This is the CEO of Starbucks going on the show and talking about how great the show is, how much he thinks Starbucks should be tied in with it, with the hosts verbally fellating the product and the CEO.
It’s the most disgusting show of corporate cock-sucking I think I’ve ever seen.
Here’s The Daily Show link to their video where they cover this atrocious story:

Here is the Starbucks feedback form:

Go to “Corporate Social Responsibility”.
Don’t go to the page they suggest. It takes you to a bunch of bullshit press releases. Fill out the form and send it.
And then DON’T BUY ANY MORE STARBUCKS.
I’m at work and can’t write much, so this isn’t very well developed, just wanted to get it out there.
This is vile. Scarborough is almost as bad as Glenn Beck.

Go Wobblies!

too pricey for what you get (their coffee sucks!).
They are the equivalent to MacDonalds, IMO. They serve shitty coffee that is way too expensive.
Dunkin Doughnuts is better!!!!
who the hell goes OUT for Coffee? I dont get it. I mean, unless Im traveling or something. Then its in my hotel room! lol. Like I travel, pffft.
that my personal Starbucks is an obviously Satanic corporate entity is the fact that Starbucks in the post Obama fever openly supported the Obama mandatory volunteer corps concept.
Using both sides of the idealogical coin to achieve world domiinance for fun and profits!
When I realized that no matter how much of a cute face they try to paint on it, they’re still fast food.
I went to school in Charleston, SC. We had a coffee house that was a big hit locally known as the East Bay Coffee Company. Their logo was a depiction of a horse and buggy surrounded by a circular banner which listed their name in green lettering. Yeah, Starbucks sued them. Apparently the image of a horse and buggy with green lettering was just a little too close to Starbucks for them to feel comfortable…………Ridiculous.
in one except to use their bathroom. They are a nasty ass predatory corp always have been. They don’t carry free trade coffee, they run off the local coffee houses and on top of it all their coffee sucks the ridiculous names they call them make me laugh.
I live in a city full of local coffee houses, and my neighbor hood has at least two to every block they are all interestingly varied, so you can drink your coffee in any atmosphere. Starbucks opened up one on Hawthorne our main shopping street and the only people I ever see in it are the tourists, who flock to our neighborhood for alternative shopping instead of the malls in suburbia where they come from.
I’m a big advocate of local economies and if your buying coffee why not support your local businesses, the money spent stays in your community and doesn’t go to the likes of paying for Morning Joe.
And I just finished a Starbucks double shot latte that took up maybe an inch at the bottom of a cup full of milk foam. I’ll hang my head in shame as soon as my neck muscles relax.
I was out of coffee. Situation now remedied.
rid of high fructose corn syrup and going back to sugar in their frappacino.
Starbucks = Walmart.
Predatory business model.
Vampiric purchasing habits.
Product is crap.
800 lb. gorillas in their respective markets.
I do not, will not, and ask others to not spend their money at either.
And add Exxon to the list – but that’s another thread.
Equal Exchange rocks.
As for me, I am a tea girl. Lapsang Souchong FTW.
