Starbucks in downtown Philadelphia faced a firestorm after a story was posted to Facebook revealing that a “liberal” clerk loudly refused to let a uniformed city police officer use the restroom.
Philadelphia Police Sergeant Joe Leighthardt posted his officer’s the frustrating experience. In short order thousands of comments responded to Leighthardt’s post. Now find out Starbuck’s response on the next page:
boycott Starbucks
I don’t accept it, will not support them.
The damage is done Starbucks! Hope chapter 11 is in your future soon!
I never go there and may never go …too expensive for a cup of coffee…so bitter anyway.
I can put CREAM in your coffee behind the Dumpster, Sir! And I DON’T like Starbucks.
I should be able to fend off violent bigots if NEED be.
#2ndAmendment, #BABY!
who cares if they apologized or not, they have lost me forever.
Do not support this business.
At Starbucks’ annual shareholders meeting in Seattle, Wash., on Wednesday, CEO Howard Schultz told off an investor who tried to argue that the company’s support for gay marriage is bad for business.
NPR affiliate KPLU captured audio of the heated exchange:
“In the first full quarter after this boycott was announced, our sales and our earnings — shall we say politely — were a bit disappointing,” Starbucks shareholder Tom Strobhar said, referring to the National Organization for Marriage’s boycott of the coffee company.
Schultz replied bluntly that Starbucks’s endorsement of marriage equality wasn’t about making money, but about the principle of diversity.
You educate yourself
Year supply of coffee, then I’ll expect.
