#3 Maybe it's because liberal bots don't buy coffee?

#5 In my neck of the woods the morning lines at McDonalds and Duncan have gotten much longer.

#6 I don't have time for your jerkoff politics, your jerkoff pretense, your jerkoff "baristas," or your jerkoff coffee.

Stay out of Malibu Lebowski!

#9 I must confess, even if it is over roasted, I like Starbucks. But coffee is one of the few things McDonalds does right. Coffee and the Egg McMuffin.

#10 "But coffee is one of the few things McDonalds does right."

Really? I cannot stand McDonald's coffee, it's too %*#$ hot! I have to wait a half hour or longer to get it to cool down enough so I can drink it.

Result, I can never find the time to wait to drink the coffee and still get to work on time, so I never buy it anymore.

Sorry Abu Uluque, I must respectfully disagree with you on this subject.

P.s. I make my own drip coffee at home, it's cheaper and taste better anyway.

I thought they learned that lesson.

#13 Kinda wish I drank coffee so my boycott of Starbucks would have some effect.

#14 Lots of reasons to avoid Starbucks. Not sure this is one. The 'defiance' thing is stupid, but hiring refugees (presumably ones here legally) is not an odious thing to do.

#15 I read the Starbucks sales are off 50%. If that is true it couldn't happen to a nicer guy and I hope the franchisees sue him for their loss of business.

#16 Seems everyone I've mentioned this Starbucks hiring 15000 refugees thing to has switched to other venues for their brew.

The boycott seems to resonate particularly with folks that don't like paying almost $3 for a large cup of coffee that you can make at home for about $0.25.
