Starbucks
Recently Marines over in Iraq supporting this country in OIF wrote to Starbucks because they wanted to let them know how much they liked their coffee and try to score some free coffee grounds. Starbucks wrote back telling the Marines thanks for their support in their business, but that they don't support the War and anyone in it, and that they won't send them the Coffee. So as not to offend them we should not support in buying any Starbucks products. As a War vet and writing to you patriots, 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 for what they and I believe is right. If you feel the same as I do, then pass this along, or you can discard it and I'll never know. Thanks very much for your support to me, and I know you'll all be there again soon when I deploy once more. Semper Fidelis, Sgt Howard C. Wright 1st Force Recon Co 1st Plt PLT RTO |

QUOTE(Meredith @ Nov 30 2004, 05:59 PM) QUOTE(jkeyzer @ Nov 30 2004, 05:17 PM) Am I the only person who thinks that Starbucks coffee actually tastes good? Nope. It's an almost-daily stop for me. Not for coffee, but to partake in chai beverages and the occasional mocha. The workers know my name and can usually tell what I'm going to order. All the local coffee shops are farther away that the 'Bucks and the parking is much more dificult to navigate. So, Starbucks it is! Yep, I think it tastes burned, too. But I get it almost every day, 'cause it's the best fix in town. $1.70 for a venti gets you more caffeine than 8 cups of just about anywhere else. |
