"Because to me the Starbucks logo says toilet as much as it says coffee."

Today I’m Amy. #Starbucks #StarbucksCoffeeAdventures

I'll go a step further - won't buy #Starbucks coffee ever, as I haven't for at least 5 years now (and even then, when I was forced to during a business meeting)

"[Starbucks] is estimated to have spent some $240 million on union busting. It’s even more appalling given that the new CEO, since starting in September, has been paid approximately $96 million and commutes to work from Southern California to Seattle on a company jet. He’s being paid 10,000 times what the average worker is making: around $30,000 a year for a barista."
