  3. Been doing that for years. I respect my taste buds

  4. Starbucks is widely accused of anti-union behavior, with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) finding the company guilty of numerous labor law violations to thwart union organizing efforts.

    These violations include illegally firing and disciplining union organizers, closing unionizing stores, and hiring a former Pinkerton employee as part of its efforts against unionization.

    The Pinkerton detective agency has a long history of being used for union-busting, making the hiring a symbolic and significant point for union organizers.

    Ongoing standoff: There is a persistent and ongoing conflict between Starbucks and Workers United, the union representing its workers.

    As of November 2025, there were no collective bargaining agreements for the 550 unionized stores, and the company had closed 59 unionized stores as part of a restructuring effort, leading to further conflict.

    The company’s actions have been met with ongoing strikes, protests, and legal challenges from unions and workers.

    So good for him, Starbucks is a shit company.

  6. Mamdani isn’t why I boycott Starbucks, their coffee does that for me.

  8. Not a problem. Support locally owned coffee shops and as many non chain businesses as possible.

  10. Been never big on that s**t anyway but supporting the idf actions made it pretty easy for me to never go into a Starbucks again.

  13. Can’t boycott something I can’t afford to buy! But I’m rooting for yall. Star fucks lost their goddamn minds charging 8 dollars for an egg sandwich

  15. I’m in, cool. We need a leader so fucking bad. Let the anti corporatist revolution begin.

  19. I really, dont go there much anyway, i shop local and sometimes hit a 7brew. Starbucks has lost its luster for me. It’s just Meh now.

  20. Good. He actually puts some of his pull where his mouth is.

  21. Haven’t been in years! Their coffee sucks and is way overpriced. Local coffee shops have way more character and nicer service.

  22. That’s not gonna be a problem since I never go there. Who pays seven bucks for a cuppa coffee? Not me

  23. Tried it once in Chicago 30 years ago. Never heard of it.
    Bitter and burnt.
    No thanks.

  24. I just sold off my Starbucks stock, it’s been sucking for a long time. Even in the midst of new ones opening, it feels like they are sinking.

  25. Okay, he “could use the bully pulpit” for standing with the workers?

    Now, if he starts arresting and threatening anyone who gets a coffee at Starbucks, then bully pulpit would apply.
