wasn't starbucks the one that tried charging $100 per case of water to the firefighters that were trying to clean up 9/11? personally that's why i've got issues with them. yeah they issued an apology and then donated some money but the fact that they even did that in the first place disgusts me.

Yes, it's a hoax. My question to you is why don't you personally check on such a damning email. You are already advocating boycotting the company, yet haven't checked out the story??? It flies in the face of anyone's common sense, and you could check it out in a 2 minute Google search.\nI'm not affiliated in any way with Starbucks, but it offends me that legitimate businesses can be so easily defamed.

because most people are negative.  :)

Ignorance and greed, in my opinion cause hatred.  I don't know where you are from, but I think most people are good at heart.  Fear is a negative thing too.  People fear what they don't understand.

You would never buy anything from a store again practically if you boycotted every unethical company. So many do bad things. You have to choose what is too much. I do believe in boycotting and that you can make a difference. Large companies have changed things in the past because of the people.

Because it is the EASIEST and MOST CONVENIENT.  They're grabbing at straws.  It is the only thing they can throw out there that MIGHT get some attention.  The ones who use that card think it will get them sympathy or scare those that are taking action.  Most people don't want to be called racist.

Because giant chains like Starbucks and McDonald's represent the death of individually owned business with a unique character and history. When you watch a family-owned bakery that's been in the neighborhood for decades go out of business because people find it easier to purchase cheap, low-quality breads at Walmart instead, it smacks of an erosion of cultural and personal standards that upsets some people.\n\nI personally think it's ridiculous to "stone" these stores, but I think it's within everyone's rights, and even responsibilities, to choose quality and individuality over bland universality whenever possible, even if the latter is easier and cheaper to do.

I have only experienced one Starbucks.  Me and my partner were made to wait ages for what we wanted, even though there was hardly anyone waiting, and I did not feel comfortable.  What I had to eat and drink, I could have got better and cheaper in an ordinary high street cafe!  However, they must have something right, or they would not be so successful.

Also to keep up public image so people aren't as willing to complain about the bad things they do or try to get the city to buy out the service.  It's more of a preventative strategy.

My point exactly...stop going to starbucks everyday or buy your lunch less often....Gas prices are not all that bad .....

i dont know but you can get a discount at Starbucks if you're an employee, like free coffees and stuff.

They wake up one morning with an eviction notice on their foreclosed home and they won't need coffee for a while, I promise.\n\nThe multinational companies will be laughing their asses off elsewhere when America goes belly-up from national debt, fueled by war and "anti-terror" spending/government.

It's because they can get away with it.\nYour not allowed to stand up for your country.\nIt's not because I'm a racist,it's because it's wrong.\nPeople work really hard for what they have got then someone just walks in and gets it on a plate and all we HAVE to do is smile and not say a word. It's all wrong!!!

It has created an eruption of hate and hostility from the "left", more than ever, because they dont understand the concept of the War.  They think that its all we need to do is stop what we are doing, come home, and act like the War never happened..... And just hope the terrorists will leave us alone....  Isnt that how Bill Clinton addressed the problem with Bin Laden back in 1993..... Yes!\n\nThey seem to think if ya ignore it, itll go away... and that wont happen........Wake up and smell the coffee, people!
