Sounds too good to be true....do you have to do it in the shop, in front of everyone ?

It maybe worth going just to watch.

they are trying to win people over after;
A. saying no to sending coffee out to our troops in afghanistan "because they didn't support the war"
B. Charging FDNY for drinking water at 9/11.

Default the email i received

Recently, British Royal Marines in Iraq wrote to Starbucks because they wanted to let them know how much they liked their coffees, and to request that
they send some of it to the troops there.


Starbucks replied, telling the Royal Marines thank you for their support of their business, but that Starbucks does not support the war, nor anyone in it,
and that they would not send the troops their brand of coffee.


So as not to offend Starbucks, maybe we should support them by NOT buying any of their products!


I feel we should get this out in the open. I know this war might not be very popular with some folks, but that doesn't mean we don't support the boys on the ground, fighting street-to-street and, house-to-house.



If you feel the same as I do then pass this along.



Thanks very much for your support. I know you'll all be there again when I deploy once more.
Sgt. Howard Wright,

1 Platoon, Recon Company, Royal Marines


PLEASE DON'T DELETE THIS... PLEASE PASS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR E- MAIL LIST, IN MEMORY OF ALL THE TROOPS WHO HAVE BEEN WOUNDED, LOST LIMBS AND EVEN DIED, SO THAT WE MAY HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE !


Also, don't forget that when the Twin Trade Towers were hit, the fire fighters and
rescue workers went to Starbucks because it was close by for water for the survivors and workers, and Starbucks CHARGED THEM!!!


AN ADDED NOTE TO THIS: STARBUCKS HAD STORES ON SEVERAL MILITARY BASES IN THE UNITED STATES. THEY ARE NOW BEING REMOVED BECAUSE OF THIS.


There are 227 Starbucks stores across the UK, and there's no doubt that our soldiers would get the same response from this company, so let us do our
bit and boycott Starbucks to show them how despicable their actions are.

Where is the proof that they made such a request and it was declined?

Any letters or e-maiks???

Sounds like anti-globalization bollocks to me!

Saved me the effort!

What is worse though, is that the troll that posted something of this "magnitude" on here did not even do a background check!

It's like people who email everyone in their address book openly (not blind copy) about some latest thing that will wipe your PC.

Strangely making themselves far more vulnerable as now an extra 2-300 people have their emails and so a Trojan can travel much faster. Muppets.


Oi, Chris, you coming back on this thread?
