Default F*ck Starbucks!

Guess I will not be drinking Starbucks any more.... Recently 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 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 not support them by
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.


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

There are constantly rumors about everything about this kind of stuff. I don't ever go to Starbucks, not because it isn't any good but I can't bring myself to fork over that much for a non-alcoholic drink...

Hmmm.....I've never been to Starbucks before and now I know why. They have just lost a potential customer.

Green Bean > Starbucks, LOL
