  • Words fail me.... boycott Starbucks

    Hey Hey

    I received the following e-mail from a friend; it shocked me to say the least.

    Recently, British Royal Marines in Iraq wrote to Starbucks because they
    wanted to let them know how much they liked their coffees, and to request
    that they send some of it to the troops there.

    Starbucks replied, telling the Royal Marines thank you for their
    support of their business, but that Starbucks does not support the war, nor anyone in it,and that they would not send the troops their brand of coffee.

    So as not to offend Starbucks, maybe we should support them by NOT
    buying any of their products!

    I feel we should get this out in the open. I know this war might not be very popular with some folks, but that doesn't mean we don't support the boys on the ground, fighting street-to-street and, house-to-house.

    If you feel the same as I do then pass this along.

    Thanks very much for your support. I know you'll all be there again when I deploy once more.

    Sgt. Howard Wright,Recon troop,45 commando, Royal Marines


    PLEASE DON'T DELETE THIS... PLEASE PASS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR E- MAIL LIST, IN MEMORY OF ALL THE TROOPS WHO HAVE BEEN WOUNDED, LOST LIMBS AND EVEN DIED, SO THAT WE MAY HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE !

    Also, don't forget that when the
    Twin Trade Towers
    were hit, the fire
    fighters and rescue workers went to Starbucks because it was close by for water for the survivors and workers, and Starbucks CHARGED THEM!!!

    AN ADDED NOTE TO THIS: STARBUCKS HAD STORES ON SEVERAL MILITARY BASES IN THE UNITED STATES. THEY ARE NOW BEING REMOVED BECAUSE OF THIS.

    There are 227 Starbucks stores across the
    UK
    , and there's no doubt that
    our soldiers would get the same response from this company, so let us do
    our bit and boycott Starbucks to show them how despicable their actions are.

    Wow!  This is unbelievable!!  I really wish I could start boycotting Starbucks, but unfortunately I already refuse to go there.   They annoyed me before I read this; now they piss me off.  

    Thanks for posting this example of awesomely bad capitalism!

    I don't even drink coffee, so I have no need to go to Starbucks. A lot of their outlets closed when they lost heaps of money last year (or was it the year before?) so there isn't even a local one anymore.
