Starbucks "war on Christmas" (1 Viewer)

[julius]

What the fuck is with people today?

Seriously, they're red cups. Who gives a fuck.

 

[KingSpeed]

Huh?

 

[julius]

Haven't you seen it? Apparently they've gone to red cups this season and there's a group out there who is convinced it's another one of those mythical "Wars" on Christmas and Christianity.

Instead of, you know, a fucking red cup.

I'm not convinced this is anything other than a brilliant marketing scam.

Starbucks is trying to take the Christ out of coffee.

Or something like that.

“It’s not just about a cup,” he explained in an e-mail to The Washington Post. “The cup is symbolic of a larger war against Christianity in this country. The policemen of political correctness have demanded that the silent majority bend its knee to a vocal minority.” He added: “Starbucks and others know that Americans are drawing a line in the sand and refusing to remain silent any longer.”

In the video, Feuerstein added that he wore a Jesus Christ T-shirt into the store “just to offend” — and also brought his gun with him, since Starbucks “hates” the Second Amendment.

Mags, is that you?

No, but he sends Mags his chain emails.

Not putting a snowman on a cup is a war of Christianity!

“If I become president, we’re all going to be saying Merry Christmas again. That I can tell you.”

— Donald Trump, quoted by People magazine, on Starbucks removing references to Christmas on its holiday coffee cups.

 

[barfo]

Or else what, Donald? You gonna put me in jail if I say Happy Holidays?

Can we go an entire day without some idiots being offended by something and getting media attention over it?

No, of course not.

Next question?

Being a "personality" does not equate to being a "person."

USING SEMANTICS! :MARIS61:

I am puzzled everyday walking to work. I walk by a couple Starbucks and it's always packed. That place has the shittiest coffee I've ever had. McDonalds and 7 eleven have better coffee for more than half the price.

I just do not get it.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

People are fucking stupid...

All the proof needed is that Starbucks is so popular.

 

[ripcityboy]

"Hello Starbucks."

""Yes?'

"I'm offended by the use of Christmas in your marketing campaign."

"Ohhh welllll. You win...."

 

[MarAzul]

Oh well. I was in a Starbucks once, maybe twenty five years ago. Ballard is a nice place to stop by when on a boat. Town is a close walk from the marina, Starbucks on one block and Tully's on the next, close for a morning cup or two. I alway go with Tully's, real coffee.

I don't get it either. Everything in there is overpriced. There's a Starbucks on the ground floor of my building at work and my boss would always want to do our one on one meetings there. The look on the baristas face when I didn't know the difference between a vente or a grande said it all.

If I'm paying extra for coffee, dutch bros is way better than Starbucks. And you don't have to deal with the massive number of hipsters hanging out in a Starbucks
