Are people pissed? This is the first I've heard of this. Maybe I need to get a Facebook thingy. So Starbucks is going to hire refugees in their overseas stores? Not in Arab, Alabama or Cairo, Georgia?
Actually in Tifton, Ga. Right down I-75 from Arabi, Ga.

You know, hating on Starbucks is so last decade. Their coffee sucks, their food sucks, their non-coffee drinks suck. Question - why the hell then is there 3 stores within a 5 minute walk from my office? Are people being forced to purchase Starbuck's products? Isn't the Free Market deciding if their products are good or not?

you must really feel chastened by recent events. There have been several "hot chocolate" references in this thread, and you have not posted an appropriately inappropriate GIF.

We're all elitists or evangelists about the things we like. Trust me, it's not elitist here.

If you are going to drink what is essentially a milkshake with a shot of espresso in it, what difference does it make if the coffee sucks.
Here's an interesting tale. My company was searching for a new coffee vendor. We have many self proclaimed coffee experts who swear by their Blue Bottle, Philz, and others. We did a blind taste test with Starbucks, Philz, Blue Bottle, Peet's, and some generic. The coffee experts and the everyday coffee drinkers picked their favorites. Guess which coffee won the blind taste test? You guessed it...Starbucks.
