Hipster millennials with unpaid internships and five room mates think nothing of dropping five bucks a day on coffee.

Apparently, the older Porsche owners figured out that if they didn't pay $5-9 per day for coffee and a treat they would be able to pay for a Porsche.

Not true! They heavily in a political agenda

Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz on Wednesday announced that guns are no longer permitted in Starbucks stores — or in Starbucks outdoor seating areas.
Schultz made the comments in an open letter to his "Fellow Ame

Although they didn't ban guns, they made it clear that people who carry are not welcome. They have hitched their wagon to those who want to repeal the 2nd amendment.

Starbucks Corp Chief Executive Officer Howard Schultz said on Sunday that the company planned to hire 10,000 refugees over five years in 75 countries, two days after U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive order banning refugees from certain countries.
