It's no wonder their coffee now tastes no different from what you can get at a 7-11. It's only people who like coffee with their sugar who still buy that crap. I haven't bought a coffee from them in years. Now, we only buy from indie coffee shops. You know, support local and all that good stuff.

Suppose Brian Nicol were a decent human being. He could pay Starbucks employees $100,000 a year, and pay himself 200 times the average salary, and he'd still be making $20 million a year.

Why anyone thinks Starbucks is "all that" is a mystery to me. It's over priced and pretentious, the so called coffee is full of artificial sweeteners and inferior. If people want a good cup of coffee, they'll look up the nearest Tim Horton's.

Haven’t had a Starbucks in 2 years because if their terrible employee policies.

The greed is astounding.

Friends don't let friends go to Starbucks.

another reason (besides the terrible coffee, sugar drinks and nasty food) to not patronize starbucks

This is atrocious! I have boycotted Starbucks for years . It started due to their treatment of employees but they have never been ok in my book!

We need inverted corporations in America. Diagrammatically, it is an upside down pyramid. The CEO would be at the bottom tip and paid the least. The larger top part would be the workers and they would be paid the most. If the workers prospered they could reward their CEO. Trickle down economics!

So grateful I don’t fund this kind of wage theft and over payment of the CEO
Consider your local coffee place - I bet the coffee is better

One more reason not to drink that swill they call coffee.

Obscene #wagegap at #Starbucks. I’m happy to make my coffee at home (also it’s terrible ☕️) .

Adios Starbucks! We did it to Target 🎯, we can do it to you ☕️

Yikes! Never been a fan of Starbucks. Dunkin, yes! My favorite is a cup-of-joe made at home!
-
That’s some really useful information—Firstly to really knock me into action & fully deny myself Starbucks. I’ve cut back 90%. Secondly, & I get that it’s really only I that thinks it could do any good, but in letter form, a delivering of a little piece of my mind to that rich & greedy CEO!
