I receiived this email earlier today and being prior military, yes I have served my country (US Army 1981 - 1985; Honorable Discharge on my DD214), this story really offends me.  Although I am not a coffee drinker I thought I would pass this story on to others to see if they would still support Starbucks

It's not true.......http://www.snopes.com/politics/military/starbucks.asp

shouldn't this topic be in the current religion and politics section?

be careful of posters posting false stories 

I think it's okay if they don't support the war,but not supporting anyone in it is going too far.

The story is not true

It's a complete piece of crap.  So yes, I will still drink Starbucks coffee.  In fact, I might get mocha frapp later.

I cannot vote until I find out something ...

Is this a daily Coffee Observance or a weekly one?

Starbucks To Begin Sinister 'Phase Two' Of Operation

March 14, 2001 | Issue 37

^that story is 100% confirmed true, by the way.

I would tongue-kiss the writers at The Onion if I could.  They are so damn funny.

Thats funny, my Starbucks has a box for donations for the Troops.

I will still buy my Mocha Frapp whether they do or don't support the troops. EVERYBODY has a RIGHT to choose what they believe in.  ;)

IAlthough I am not a coffee drinker I thought I would still  this on to others to see if they would still support Starbucks


What I'm reading the poster as saying is "Would you still support them" and this leads me to believe that they are not sure if the story is true, so give them a chance to reply back to you before you start harshly judging the way you have here.  I see this person as just trying to pass on information that was sent to them.  Granted it may or may not be true and if you want to pay $2 - 3 for a cup of coffee that's your perogative, but the tones in your posts sound so hateful and immature.

And no I would not support Starbucks if they really are guilty of these allegations

It's a complete piece of crap.  So yes, I will still drink Starbucks coffee.  In fact, I might get mocha frapp later.


Are you always this crappy in your replies?

Are you always this crappy in your replies?


You will soon learn that all her replies have the same tone.

it's kinda SM/Electrophile's schtick.

you definitely can't deny she sounded off with some unambiguous love for the good folks at the onion, at least.

I don't normally drink coffee so I don't really care.  However, I am sure that Glen would continue to patronize Starbucks...after all, one day he just could be supervisor.

And no I would not support Starbucks if they really are guilty of these allegations



It's already been proven to be false.  Someone posted the link from snopes.com.



And for a "newbie", you're coming off suspiciously familiar.

Ohhhhhh, now I get it.

I don't normally drink at Starbucks. Their coffee is too overpriced and tastes like crap. But if this allegation was true, I sure as hell would not stop going there if I was a regular.

So that's what somebody else wrote obviously.  Where's your concrete proof that it isn't?  Until you can present it, then my opinion remains the same.

I'll take an established website's word over yours.

I prefer Peets coffee anyway, it's the bay areas best.

Probably should've been, thanks for at least letting me know.  I'm not a seasoned vet like most of these posters

Gloria Jeans.



OMG I LOVE THEM!  Their Cookies 'n Cream mocha chiller is to die for.  I loved getting one whenever my sister and I would go to the mall back home.

They don't have Starbucks where I live yet, but we've got enough coffee places, thankyou ver much..

Probably should've been, thanks for at least letting me know.  I'm not a seasoned vet like most of these posters
it could be moved there but no biggee, not my call, just my suggestion and you will be seasoned sooner than you think  :)


Gloria Jeans.
Is GJ good strong robust coffee?  I prefer the dark roast with bold flavor


Ah, we got a new one in my town (Which you're probably aware of by now)...
I am not aware but I'm happy to see them pop up because their coffee is the nectar of the gods

be careful of posters posting false stories   


If you're referring to me, don't, hey I'm just passing something on that's been on the net.  I am not lying on anyone.  And before anyone else jumps up here, I don't know if the story is true.  I was just interested to know if it were would you still support Starbucks over it?  Whats with you people anyway, always so negative and childish

I think it's okay if they don't support the war,but not supporting anyone in it is going too far.


You've obviously never served in the Military, so you haven't fought for the freedom that you take for granted daily or lost a family member, either, I'm just assuming like so many do on here..

Damn, Brian.

I never said I could prove the e-mail was true, but can you or anyone else here prove it's not?  I, personally am not boycotting anything, since if you really read my posts you would see I am not a coffee drinker.  I was simply seeking out the opinions of those who do drink Starbucks, but real intelligence doesn't get far here.

There's so many fake emails floating around, there's no way I'd trust one of these email rumors.

hey gips. you obviously hate it here and you hate everyone who posts here. so what gives? why do you keep coming back?

i'm really asking in genuine curiosity. it's like if i hung around the local chapter of the young republicans or tooled around with chaw-chomping deer hunters all day long. eventually i'd have to wonder why i was doing it.

we're really not the body snatched characters you seem to think we are, but you don't seem to care for us very much and you seem to take every opportunity to provoke everyone here whatever way you possibly can. i'm curious what you're getting out of it.

There's so many fake emails floating around, there's no way I'd trust one of these email rumors.


You may be right. The thought did cross my mind that someone could have made this up, because they're trying to bash Starbucks for one reason or the other, but who's to say.  I know I don't drink any kind of coffee, but I for sure wouldn't pay their prices to begin with.  

I gotta a Starbucks card with 20 bucks on it, want me to get you a Mocha frapp?  ;)



Yes!!!  Extra mocha, please.

get me a maple scone and a venti anything!

Okie dokie

naw, but really, you get all bent out of shape and generalize about everyone on the board. i didn't just make that up, i understand that you might have some personality difficulties with certain members, i do too, but you seem to have a chip on your shoulder about the whole board.

Look, these words are yours, so own them!  Don't try to shove them down my throat, okay.  I am not provoking anyone.  You all are the ones that follow me around on this board and I don't care what kind of thread it is and start trouble.  

If I would of known that this stupid little poll was going to cause this much trouble I wouldn't have even bothered.  Every last one of you lacks respect.  And why don't some of you take off your masks while you're at it.  This many people starting trouble is no mere coincidence


HAHAHAHAHA- You just made me laugh so hard. I did show you RESPECT on my post. But you keep bashing OTHERS for disagreeing with you. Why don't you take off YOUR mask?

BTW- No one here is starting trouble. They are only defending themselves, just like you are defending yourself.

And why don't some of you take off your masks while you're at it.  This many people starting trouble is no mere coincidence



The mods are free to check my IP address against all others in this thread, to prove that I am not masquerading as any other member or posting under another account.  If you think all these people are the same person, then you're paranoid.  If this many people take umbrage with your words, perhaps that's your problem and not theirs. 


And sweetheart, you want to talk about taking off masks.....that's the pot calling the kettle black.

Your accusations are ridiculous and uncalled for. Your trashing and mocking of long time board members is uncalled for.

honestly, gypsyroad. if you hate us all so much, you should really find a place where you'll be happier and stop trying to tear everyone here down all the time.

So that's what somebody else wrote obviously.  Where's your concrete proof that it isn't?  Until you can present it, then my opinion remains the same.

  Yes, Peet's is good, too.  I was enjoying that coffee before the Starbuck's craze hit.  Almost worked there.  The plant is in Emeryville...

  And to the boycott - I've been made to look a fool s-o-o-o many times by that blasted Snopes.com that I'm not even sure if my own name is just an internet rumor...

Holy crap!  They've taken over Kiwiland too!  :o

atta boy Davester, you got good tastes. I was indoctrinated at the original Peets on Vine street in Berkleley where all the hippies and 60's type folk hang out. I worked 1 block away from that joint for 8 years. If the Starbucks rumor were true, then let every man or woman decide for themselves if they wish to patronize the place irregardless of what the reason is. If it were true, I'd be willing to boycott them, but I have a feeling it's not true. too many hoaxes/myths going around to just accept it, but if somene wishes to do more investigation, than go for it.

  Thanks!  Good joe is important, knowhattamean..?

  There was a place in El Cerrito called J.R. Muggs where I used to get my fix every morning.  Not sure it's still there...

  The last thing I boycotted was Exxon after the Valdez oil spill...

  Thing is, the "> PLEASE DON'T DELETE THIS ... ALLOW IT TO BE PASSED TO ALL.." kinda gave it away.  If I had a nickel for every one I've received I could retire early groove ;) on...

good point on the "please don't delete this"  that is certainly a red flag unless the thread maker added that themselves, but if the email came with that title, almost definitely a hoax,, I know the JR Muggs you're talking about on San Pablo av. but I never went there.

  Yeah, that's the one.  Featuring Peet's coffee...

  The admonishment not to delete is typical of those kinds of spam.  Gypsy probably didn't add it.  Well, I call them spam even though my girlfriend used to send them to me ALL the time from work untill I asked her to kindly knock it off... ;D

  I suppose somebody is pissed at Starbuck's coffee.  There's a funny site/messageboard called "I Hate Starbuck's" inhabited, mainly, by disgruntled ex-Starbuck's employees with too much time on their hands...

Did you even look at the link?  There's the response from Starbucks right on it.  Do you need a personal letter from the CEO to confirm it?  All you have to do is google "Starbucks Iraq" and you'll get a few thousand sites with "proof".  I also have spoken to vets who were IN Iraq and received Starbucks. ::)

All o that being said, it is true that Starbucks as a corporation does not send coffee to the soldiers.  It has nothing to do, however, with them supporting/not supporting the war/troops.  Starbucks ONLY makes donations to charities and the military is NOT a charity (although one could argue that they do infinitely more good than any charity :))

Thanks MamaK for the information.  I don't get that many emails, but this one came from some posters at a crime forum that I belong to.  I will definitely go to that website from now on should I receive anything else like that.  It just upset me when I read it being prior military myself.  I will go back and read the link again to see what I missed obviously.

You've obviously never served in the Military, so you haven't fought for the freedom that you take for granted daily or lost a family member, either, I'm just assuming like so many do on here..



I HAVE served in the military.



As to Starbucks, I don't do coffee (never have) but I think Green Mountain Coffee is a great company (fair trade). So, if you are going to drink coffee, drink Green Mountain.

There's a local coffee house here called "Just Add Coffee" that we frequent, but I have to admit, Starbucks Dolce Latte is to die for.  I always stop there when I'm at the airport.

I'll still support Starbucks Coffee no matter what.

You've obviously never served in the Military, so you haven't fought for the freedom that you take for granted daily or lost a family member, either, I'm just assuming like so many do on here..
Serving in the military doesn;t mean someone supports the U.s involvement in iraq.John kerry is a veteran,but he thinks the U.s. shoul;d get out of Iraq.Being in the military right now doesn't mean someone supports the war either,but when you join,you know you might not agree with everything you have to do.That's why military personnel get to vote in elections.And no,I've nenver been in the military.I've never even thought of joining becsuse I know I wouldn't get in.I can't run fast,do a pull up,climb a rope,or a lot of other things you have to do to get in there.My grandfather,who served as a doctor during WWII,had a little-known muscular disorder called Thomsen's disease,and it seems I have inherited it too,but being a female I'm at a disadvantage as far as people in my family who have had it.I don'tt hink someone who is physically challenged,however slightly,takes their freedom here for granted. ;) :)

My brother served in the Army in Panama and Operation Desert Storm.  He does not support the war in Iraq.  So, I don't see where the connection of serving in the military and being for the war in Iraq has any sort of merit.

He says he's not be anti-patriotic, he's being realistic.

I don't go to Starbucks anyway.. too much damn money, and I'm not a fan of coffee and coffee-related products.. but if I did, I'd have issue.. if this story was true.

He says he's not be anti-patriotic, he's being realistic.
I know.

I don't drink coffee, so therefore, I don't care what Starbucks does with their beans.

Do OTHER companies "Support" the troops?  

Why is Starbucks being the only one singled out?

As for money donations,- a company/person has the right to pick and choose who/what they want to support.  Thats the BEAUTY of AMERICA, the freedom to make choices.  BIG DEAL if they don't want to send them FREE coffee.



This email has been circulating around the web for over a year at least and has been proven FALSE.






Before posting emails to stir up controversy check with SNOPES first.

Yeah, I've that in the past, I believe. It seems like a long time ago and I suppose it was (about 10-11 years ago). I guess it's kinda like someone who doesn't eat Sushi go into a Sushi bar, not much entices you to go inside, even if they have one dish that caters to your taste.

Why is Starbucks being the only one singled out?


Because someone was p-o'd at Starbucks and what better way nowdays to try and crush someone than say they are against the troops (even if they aren't)?

Other companies have done much worse (not to the troops overseas, per se, but the families back home)......but they're not on someone with too much time on their hands' doo-doo list ;)

I think safeway had it until recently,less than a year ago.
