A lot of discussion about the recent "Race Conversations" at Starbucks. Not to get into what other thread are talking about but let's see a show of hands....

Do you plan on switching to another coffee shop?
Do you plan on being true to Starbucks?

No. Their coffee stinks.

Why a lot of people call them charbucks.

I never go to Starbucks anyway. I think they are a trend-setting company and do some good things, but I hate their coffee. I only drink it if there's nothing else to drink, and when I do, I remember why I avoid it.

I go there for convenience. It's hard to not fall and end up in one. Went in today for the first time since they implemented this and there was zero sign of it at the one I went to. Nothing regarding race was mentioned nor was anything shown in store.

There is a donkin donuts next to my house, but no Star Bucks, so I get Donkin Donuts in the morning on my way to work, and Starbucks when I am at work. I like their coffee, it's coffee-shop quality.

I've only been there a few times, since the closest is 30 miles from me. And paying $7 for a cup of coffee is a bit insane.
