Is the War on Christmas finally over then? Because my conservative friends have been VERY upset about it in the prior years.

SMH. It is absolutely silly for anyone to be upset over coffee cups. No one is being stopped from celebrating Christmas. If you need any and everyone around you to adhere to your cultural or religious practices, then your culture or religion is not very deep-rooted. That is a personal problem that only you can rectify.

I read the article and really didn't see anyone being "upset". Maybe I missed it.
With that poster you're replying to it really has to do with Trump aligning with evangelicals rather than anything to do with Hillary.

They managed to raise prices while buying and putting less coffee than in the past. Genius at fooling people.


I find McDonald or Dunkins coffee to be much better, fresher and far better priced.


As to the cups, who cares. It is between the shareholders and customers to sort this one out.
It depends on what you order. It you get a specialty drink, yeah, they jack the price up.

If you have a registered Starbucks card (which is free), refills for hot coffee, hot tea, and a few cold beverages are free during the same visit. Additionally, there is a cup discount if you have your own cup.

IME, with McDonalds, it depends on the location, but usually refills are less....but not free. IIRC, refills aren't free at DD either.

They can't just not look at that stuff like we just don't go to Starbucks.
My views are all over the political spectrum on various issues, but I think your claim that I bolded is incorrect.

There are plenty of conservatives who would love to make a woman's right to be pro choice a thing of the past.

To be the ones that make fun of liberals for being "snowflakes," conservatives sure are triggered by the simplest things...

My last post was a waste. You included the one thing I mentioned plus more.
