Well ya. This post is just for anyone who has already made up their mind to be a Starbucks customer

I found a Starbucks travel mug and fill it with Maxwell House, then I drink it inside a Starbucks and nobody knows. One time I filled it with ice water and got away with it, but I’m scared to try that again.

brand loyalty is so strong that even when the dunkin sanitary conditions were figured out - people didn't care. "I NEED MY DUNKIES".

People rather be a meme than stand for anything. This is a fact. No matter if that place is unionized or not, the faithful will still spend their money.

That seems to be standard operating procedure now. When you see something you don’t like you post some criticism online, change a Instagram filter to show support for something, maybe sign a petition on a website and then carry on with your day. Every once in a while people show up to protest but then at the end of the day, go back to buying what they want and what is convenient.

The only agency we have left is our financial boycotts. If folks really want to take a stand everything else except the not buying a product can be skipped. Nobody cares. Want a company to take notice? Hit them the only place they understand, their wallet.
