At the 2006 Porsche parade in Portland, Oregon, Starbucks was a sponsor. They hosted the coffee at the hospitality suite. On the first morning I wandered in, got a cup of coffee and had to use all my restraint to not do a spit take right on the carpet. I looked for the trash can and promptly threw away the paper cup. That trash can was almost full of coffee cups that were mostly full. The hotel room had a sign in my room, "proudly serving Starbucks coffee. I ate a sweet roll just to get the nasty taste of Starbucks out of my mouth.
I drove to the Burger King a few blocks away to get some coffee I could drink. That stuff is vile. I have been boycotting Starbucks ever since. I also boycott every vegan restaurant in town, and all the raw food only places. I will boycott any place with bad food or drink.
