Starbucks is the best commonly available "chain" coffee in the East.
Dunks is mediocre at best. Hell, Cumberland Farms has better coffee and at only $.99 all sizes.

Best Iced Coffee is Honey Dew (not honey pot). Don't know why, because their hot coffee is just average.

I agree that a corporation shouldn't be defined by one schmuck employee.
But Starbucks does seem to have a culture to foster this type of attitude.

I hope the employee was fired.
I'm surprised the police officers obliged.

I think Starbucks culture is based on their bottom line. Does this help or hurt profits mentality. I don't agree with what I perceive their culture to be, but don't feel strongly enough to take my business elsewhere.

I tend not to base my purchasing decisions solely on a corporations viewpoints.

If I didn't like the coffee, then I'd gladly "boycott" with any perceived slight against my sensibilities.
If it's a favorite, then they'd have to do something quite egregious to turn me away.

I just don't have it in me to be an SJW.
I save my hypocrisy for these boards.

People work at these places and people often make mistakes. It will happen from time to time and people that hear about it will get upset.
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care.

But, that employee needs to learn to respect too. Teaching her may include terminating her @ss.

Yes, but will close all location for worker sensitivity training like they did when they asked the black kids who wouldn't buy anything to leave the store?

They do a black forest one and a dark chocolate one that are both fantastic...

Lots of the Caesars properties in Vegas have started opening Coffee Bean instead of Starbucks....

If you had told me years ago that folk would line up by the millions to buy overpriced burnt coffee, I'd never have believed you. But then again, I don't understand half of what millennials do. I'm sure the offended party was a high Estrogen beta male SJW sipping on a soy latte. I wonder if he ran home to his safe place after he wet his panties?

Those aren't coffee.... hell, a latte is barely "coffee" but I enjoy them on weekends.

in high school I used to run to the local starbucks stand in the grocery store for 5 shot espressos over lunch break.

I have my own opinions on SB due to their stance on the 2nd amendment totally separate from the fact of me being an officer.
I haven't purposely bought anything from them in years unless it was the only option at the time (I.E. stuck in a hospital with it being the only thing open)

Due to my own or coworkers experiences with them while in uniform, I REFUSE to step into one of there locations while I'm in uniform. This is not an isolated event by any means.

With that being said the only individual in my personal opinion that should feel unsafe around the police are criminals!

Not that I think it's a valid reason for police to not be in a starbucks... but I do have friends that are absolutely afraid of the police being involved in something.

I have had to run over to a conflict at 3am because a friend was convinced her fiancee was going to get shot by the police (even though he was in the right), simply because they were called by a cab driver (who was in the wrong).

Just because you don't think they should feel unsafe really doesn't have any impact on how they actually feel.

Only people who really really really want to focus on how "beta" those other guys must be... and how they must wear panties.... and how much estrogen they really must have.. (huh... almost sounds like someone trying to rationalize getting head from a dude).

Sorry to say criminals are not the only ones who should fear police. I wish that was the case but the sky in my world is blue.

That’s not to say all cops are bad. But they are not all good either. They all have power though.

Only difference is the blacks being tossed got a little more press. And I'll take a McD or BK over their stuff anytime (and buy a couple yard gars with the difference).
