In protest of President Trump’s Executive Order on immigration, Starbucks – the employee abusing, non-organic Milk using, GMO Peddling, former TPP Negotiation Privy, Ethiopian farmer screwing coffee company has decided to try it’s hand at “Conscious Capitalism” by announcing a plan to hire 10,000 refugees worldwide over the next 5 years – depriving jobs to 10,000 citizens across the globe.
This isn’t the first time Starbucks and Trump have been at odds;
Trump’s relationship with the coffee company is complicated, to say the least. Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz endorsed Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election, whereas Trump once told supporters to boycott the company because they didn’t say “Christmas” on their red cups for the holiday season…
In what may be a response, Trump supporters are using the hashtag #TrumpCup to taunt Starbucks employees and make them call out the President-elect’s name –Mediaite
Sunday’s announcement on refugee hires, made in a letter to employees, has been met with fierce backlash, as well as many committing to switch to Dunkin’ Donuts, whose shares were up today. The hashtag #BoycottStarbucks is predictably making it’s way around Twitter, which has of course resulted in hilarity, including a new nickname with several contenders for the logo.
And of course, there’s Twitter:

Based Amy Mek reminds us of Starbucks’ willing participation in the institutionalized mistreatment of women (while they installed a “gender segregation wall” of course):
Remember when Starbucks BANNED Women from Stores in Muslim Saudi Arabia & Posted signs saying: "NO ENTRY FOR LADIES…"

It will be interesting to keep an eye on $SBUX and $DNKN over the next few days if this picks up steam:
starbucks has gone off the rails
Hope these fuckers pay Trenta time.
This what being a libtard does to your reasoning abilities. I mean, think about the optics on this. That tweet about the black unemployment is 100% on the nose. This can only hurt Starbucks. This is like a Dave Chappelle skit come to life.
Starbucks is very heavily involved with military families. Believe they have close to 10,000 veteran and spouses as employees. Thought boycotts were just a Dem thing?
Starbucks is only for Asians and men with pixie dust. Try again
This is how libtards go out for real. It is all a fucking joke until it is not. God damn Starbucks to the Sudan. Let Sergeant Shulllzz hold the knife. The little girls do not mind and the gays thrown off of buildings have no opinion either.
