printUnless you like your java beans burned, Starbucks makes crap coffee. You don’t burn your food; why would you burn the building blocks of a wonderful beverage?
Now there’s another reason to hate STARBUCKS: The company’s CEO, Howard Schultz, and his moronic minions—among them Corey duBrowa, the company’s Senior Vice President of Global Communications—suffer the kind of hubris that has allowed them to instruct their baristas (mere babes, no doubt) to lecture YOU the customer about race.
Corey duBrowa has since deleted his twitter account because, boy! did people talk to him about race. Using #RaceTogether, they gave duBrowa hell.
Patronizing. Condescending. Inappropriate. Unprofessional. Harassment.
Show bean-burning Big Brother STARBUCKS who is the boss in the only authentic democracy: the free market. Deny these busybodies your democratic vote. Put Starbucks in its place. Remind them of their role in your life.
STARBUCKS is supposed to please you, not preach to you.
The wonder of the market is that you have alternatives; there’s the competition. This corporate brain child is not legislation. It can and will be repealed.
May I suggest that you vote (with your dollar) for Tully’s. Unlike Starbucks, this coffee maker has mastered the art of roasting, not incinerating, its coffee beans. Tully’s coffee is rich, strong and sweet, just the way coffee is meant to be.
UPDATE: CEO Schultz’s minion, Corey DuBrowa, should change his name to Corey DuBratha, written in Ebonics, of course.
