Thanks Sully. Looks like they would have learned that but guess they thought they had it in the bag.

Thanks KAL. I never did patronize Starbucks, too expensive. If you want a really good cup of coffee try Kirkland (Costco) in the 3 lb brown can. It's somewhere around $12 or less. Great taste & aroma, can't beat the price.

When people push their agenda by means of commerce, it sometimes backfires.

This is good news. I stopped patronizing Starbucks some time last year when I started hearing about what their corporate leadership was all about. The beverage offerings at Starbucks were overpriced, but I did like some of them. But not enough to keep giving my money to a company whose CEO was openly defiant about Donald Trump's immigration policies and moreover, that wanted to help put Hillary Clinton in the White House in the first place.
