I was a loyal Starbucks customer for many years but will no longer give them my business. My brother went to Iraq when this current war began. He was there for a year.
A few of the troops were talking and decided that one of the things they missed the most about the states was Starbucks coffee. The collectively wrote a letter to the Corporate Office of Starbucks requesting somekind of coffee to be sent to them in Iraq and expressing their love for the companies coffee.
The response they received was that Starbucks did not agree with the war or our troops being over there and would therefore not send them anything.
I couldn't believe that this popular well known company would outright deny our troops their products.
I think that it is wrong for a company like that to take a political approach to a simple request for a mail order of coffee.

Show us the letter to prove that it's real. Otherwise, it is outrageously unbelievable.

Seriously people, Starbucks is not required to send FREE anything to anyone. The troops miss home but guess what, they chose to go there. not only that they chose to enlist in the first place. I'm not going to jump on some kind of trend that America is somehow on and say poor toops, we're sorry your stationed in a crap hole. Here is some free stuff from all of us. they get paid people. in fact you pay them. we all do. what do you think taxes are for? don't be stupid and tell me that just because Starbucks Coffee company wouldn't send FREE coffee to some troops you would boycott them completely. I think if they missed Starbucks enough they could send some money with that letter...

Starbucks Has A Campaign Accepting Donations To Send Coffee To Our Troops!!

WOW! What an incredibly false statement this person has made. All of our/my local Starbucks are currently promoting a campaign for customers to donate money so that Starbucks can send our troops coffee! In fact, I have donated to this fund personally!! Hence, this statement just cannot be true as Starbucks is willing and gladly doing what they can to support our troops. My two cents: Get the facts before you make a serious negative complaint against someone!

I have always supported the troops

As a former part-time shift leader of Starbucks, Corp. in Alabamama, I have always supported the troops by sending coffee, novelties, and even Bearista bears to add some extra joy in the lives of the honored troops. My DM always approved of my efforts and even supported me in doing so. He was glad to get rid of the aging coffee as well as discontinued merchandise items to make room for new stuff, as well as knowing that they were going to good use with our troops in Iraq. There is NO company policy in Starbucks against sending coffee to troops ... your "rip off" is nothing but a hoax.

I'm glad to hear this is a hoax and Starbucks didn't do that. I love their coffee and even buy it by the bag. If this was true I'd boycott their product too. That would suck for me to have to do but I would do it. So, yes, I'm happy to hear it isn't true. We can agree or disagree with the war, but we can never take that out on the troops sent there.
