Boycott Starbucks

[A2K]

My wife was refused an interview at Starbucks today for being 5 minutes late. The reason she was late was because she stopped on her way to the interview to take a call from me. I'm in Afghanistan. When she arrived to Starbucks the manager absolutely refused to see her and didn't give her the opportunity to explain the situation. Starbucks is a company notorious for supporting other countries, but not giving back to the country their home base resides in. For these reasons, and I'm sure there are plenty more out there, I encourage all who read this to boycott Starbucks. I serve alongside men and women who will give their life for their country. Starbucks turns their back on them.

That's good enough for me, consider them boycotted.

Their coffee sucks anyway.

An employee at Starbucks charged ambulance workers 130 dollars for three cases of water on 9/11

The company acted like it never happened until the press got into it....

A2K ... have you contacted that Manager, and also Starbucks?

I think making a bit of "noise" is in order here

I agree.

Hope your wife gets a job at a better place!

I have had reasons not to hire job candidates. Always took their CV's and thanked them. there is a minimum of respect due to someone in need who has the will to work.

Unfortunately, we will never know Starbuck's side of the story. What we do know is that somebody was late for a job interview in a place and time where there were probably dozens of applicants for the job who weren't late. It's a bummer for sure, but to turn that into a statement that Starbuck's turns their corporate back on American military personnel? Give me a friggin' break.
