Sorry you feel that way. I will keep buying things from Starbucks.

We will see how it works out for those who feel free to speak their mind. Meanwhile America has racked up a silent majority that actually dictates reality. The left activist may think they can silence others but they can't control them. That's their downfall. That's how Trump won while they didn't see it coming. I'm curious to see what happens in the next couple of years.

After forfeiting over a million in property for fines, the owner of a donut company who ran their warehouse with illegals is doing great. The illegals were living on the property. The supervisor was so brazen in his harassment, illegals filed a complaint with with the EEOC.

The owner just claimed the supervisor his family had used for 25 years did it and they knew nothing about it. Got man of year the soon after. The business is doing great.

Black Rifle is a tiny company that got a little attention for saying something preposterous. They've got about 50 employees.

Meanwhile Starbucks committed to hiring 10,000 vets and has already hired about 8,000.

So the company that commits to hiring vets and actually does so gets vilified while the company that commits to hiring 10,000 vets but isn't even remotely in a position to do so gets rewarded with praise and attention.

Of course right wingers won't be happy until there's a Whites Only sign hanging in the window of every Starbucks.

I don't really care about their political stance. I just think that their coffee tastes terrible and is grossly overpriced. Which is why I cannot remember the last time I went near a Starbucks.

Is that the company that wants to hire 10,000 veterans for the roughly 600 stores they plan to build - - roughly 17 employees per location?

Trump himself would be proud to make such a BS promise.

Yes, a company that currently employs 52 people releasing a statement about intending to hire 10K.


While an admirable goal, I'm skeptical that those jobs will materialize any time soon. Evidently it is based on the forecast of opening 600+ physical retail locations over the next 6 years. They have partnered with 5.11 Tactical in that effort. Time will tell.


After Viral Meme, Can Black Rifle Coffee Company Really Hire 10,000 Veterans?




Not to mention that Starbucks started an initiative to hire 10K veterans or their family members years ago, and has already hired 8000+ toward that end. They are hoping to meet that goal by next year.

Weak attempt at insulting. Who can NOT afford Starbucks?

Very true. I'm certain a company like Starbucks spends millions a year on their marketing and "brand perception" initiatives.
