Haven’t bought stuff from sbux in the last few months because of their union busting and DEI rollbacks. Seems like it was the right choice.
I don’t buy from them because their coffee is bad.
My days of not purchasing anything from Starbucks are definitely coming to a middle
The National Center for Public Policy Research’s Free Enterprise Project’s director Stefan Padfield pointed out the discrepancy of policy and practice during his presentation of Proposal 8 requesting an annual report on emissions congruency. Padfield suggested, “Perhaps the problem is not the related business practices, but rather the ill-conceived decision to wrap the company in unrealistic climate goals.”

Group calls out discrepancy between a businesses actions and their stated goals. Then goes on to say that maybe the goals were too unrealistic. Hmm, I manage to make it to my job everyday without using a private jet.
I already never go there, but now I can have a chip on my shoulder about it.

Boycott and talk to others around you as to why you are boycotting.
-
Create fake amazing resumes, apply for high-level jobs at Starbucks, Amazon, etc.

Waste their time with interviews.

Bail out, tell them it’s because they have a toxic reputation.

If I get offered a job in an office I’m gonna demand a private jet, too.
“What do you mean ICs don’t get private jets?!”
Niccol travels regularly from his home in Newport Beach, California, to Starbucks’ headquarters in Seattle, Washington, via private jet. Each 2,000-mile round-trip commute releases nearly nine tons of carbon dioxide.
The National Center for Public Policy Research’s Free Enterprise Project’s director Stefan Padfield pointed out the discrepancy of policy and practice during his presentation of Proposal 8 requesting an annual report on emissions congruency. He noted that each round trip made by Niccol “is roughly the annual energy-consumption footprint of the typical American household.”
It’s not even just super rich. I used to work for a company that did about 200m in sales and the boss was taking a private jet at lease once a week. Then he laid off 20% of his company in 2024 instead of flying first class.
And yet, it’s the Average Joe’s and Jane’s fault for not buying EVs.
