    Default Oh. My. God.

    Please somebody tell me that this is another one of thoes weirdo hoax for publicity thingies..

    This really made my jaw drop..

    Recently Marines in Iraq wrote to Starbucks because they wanted to
    let
    them
    know how much they liked their coffees and to request that they send
    some of
    it to the troops there.


    Starbucks replied, telling the Marines thank you for their support
    of
    their business, but that Starbucks does not support the war, nor
    anyone
    in
    it, and that they would not send the troops their brand of coffee.




    Thanks very much for your support. I know you'll all be there again
    when
    I
    deploy once more.

    That's got to be a hoax. No corporation would dare do that in this political climate.

    yeah it's a hoax.

    Why do you think that in every freaking starbucks there's a huge jar for donations for the troops, a basket with pounds of coffee w/ handwritten notes stapled to them for the troops, and a picture with a starbucks barista conveniently placed in front of it all posing with the troops? To fix their image.

    LOL, hear hear! They over-roast their beans and it tastes so badly burnt. I hate Starbucks coffee. The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is pretty good, but honestly I think the best place to get coffee while out and about is the 7-11. Say what you will, they have excellent coffee, flavored creamers, AND low prices!

    Gloria Jeans is all over Memphis too. They put too much sweet syrup in their mixed coffees.

    Well, maybe it's a location by location basis? Because they don't do that here (but there's only one I know of and that's in the mall).
