I would boycott Starbucks, but I'm there right now. Sorry :(

I dont wanna pop bubbles here but nothing will change. saying boycott blank is like telling the world to stop breathing to save the earth.

So if I don’t buy the Nespresso pods or Nescafe, i won’t be supporting Nestlé. If I buy 40 oz bag of Starbucks beans, I don’t support Nestlé
Usernamegoeshere00
Totally agree..Stop buying bottled water first..that should put a dent in
deathstarofdavid
So this is about the 2018 deal?

As it turns out, I’ve been boycotting them both for years. Go me!

Is there a good place to help decide which brands (of any product) to buy based on what they support?
MtnHighRose2000
Yes yes yes, and ALSO fuck shit coffee!

I don’t care if Starbucks wants to clone Hitler. I like their coffee and this just means the drive thru will be quicker.
euphoricopportunity
See... We need to get grocery store chains in on boycotting Nestle.
TomIsMyDog
MOTHER FUCKER. My inner white girl and my inner tree hugger are battling, but I know who will win. Time to uninstall my starbucks app.

Boycotts only hurt service workers, delivery people, and laborers. Not corporate. Elect sympathetic politicians to make US policy changes.
DanaConti5
You’re assuming these boycotts will be effective though. I boycotted Amazon and Walmart for years, they were fine without my business.
thelyzardiam
Well... never was a Starbucks frequenter. I got that goong for me. Now if I could just avoid nestle in its hidden forms.
mindstorm8191
Can't boycott Starbucks; I've never brought anything there anyway
NZSheeps
Well go there, buy a coffee then boycott them

I mean... if by “just signed” you mean “signed almost 3 years ago” then yeah. Like valid point still but get the facts straight.

Was just going to say this. Nestle is up to more and more *coughs in indentured servitude
HeraldofOmega
it was a secret for 3 years?
eronth
Nope. I can find articles from 2019 and even 2018 about it. It appears to just have flown under public radar, is all.
kainowsound
We need less Billion dollar lobbies for corporate advancement and more lobbies for ethics and humanitarianism. A real shame.
uponstrangeshores
I really don't get all this Nestle hate. Did you government give them too much water access? Go talk to your gov. Stop getting distracted.
albreezy33
Why reward starbucks with such a cool ass logo, though?
Doctortroojan
Can we talk about how cool that logo is though?
WeeemRCB
Starbucks is by far the worst coffee of any I've tried. Even worse than the thin breakfast coffee you get in American hotels.
rsmgod287
I really thought Starbucks PR team had a better pulse on how nestle looks right now. I think Starbucks is mostly ethical. Bad collaboration

Single thing that happens with their partners overseas that we deem vile. The show good place addresses this complexity well i think

If I buy a product not knowing they use slave labor is one thing aka Good Place. A corporation doing it without due diligence is gross.

Nestlé pumps over 500k gals of h20 out of a spring 30mins south of me, for these rights they pay $200/yr. Yay.

The second worst coffee I had whilst travelling USA was in Starbucks. Very easy boycott for me.
GeraltsUnpaidIntern
Alright, I need to know the first
CptJohnYossarian
Haha. Had finished a lovely dinner at a restaurant in one of the vegas strip casinos. Asked for an affogato for dessert. Had to explain to
CptJohnYossarian
the waiter that is was just a shot of espresso and a single scoop of ice cream. What came out was a mug of filtered coffee and a bowl of
CptJohnYossarian
vanilla ice cream. Bless his heart. I'm sure he thought he was going above and beyond ??
Idonotbelievewehavecompany
I haven't had starbucks in 10 years, do my best not to support nestle

21viking
I haven't had Starbucks ever and never had coffee. Nestle part is a bit trickier I have heard.
Idonotbelievewehavecompany
It is hard to keep track of all they own especially when you are in a hurry
21viking
True, and you don’t have the list of products what you would need to avoid when selecting things at grocery store.
DukeSamuelVimes
I literally hate starbucks, not only are the prices more expensive than any other regular high street chain cafe, the coffee tastes consider
DukeSamuelVimes
ably worse. Hear in London the cafe I go to most often is Pret which has really wacky opening hours, even though there's a starbucks right
DukeSamuelVimes
next to my local one that's always open, I'll simply just walk away without coffee if the Pret is closed because it'd just be a bigger disap
IamNotAshamed
I never had Starbucks.. wanted to try it once, when I saw the prices I did a 360 and walked away

So, you walked away towards tge cashier?!

Okay chris chan
realscrumpysteve
It's overpriced corner store coffee. There's no reason to even shop there
mifdsam
I like their lemon loaf cake, but their coffee sucks
Pyrowolf1
I do sometimes because sometimes it's the only coffee you can find at the airport :(
PickleRiiiiiiiiiiiiick
I actually went to the original store in Seattle when I visted years ago. It was...different...and not gross.
carrot1sie
Their regular coffee is crap, sure the flavor stuff is nice but that's because of the amount of sugar. Not worth.
souleater2847
I don’t get it either man....it doesn’t taste that great...any of their blends are eh to ok at best.
TheMouseOfMadness
My complaint about Starbucks is also my complaint about Burger King: burnt isn't a flavor to be proud of.
souleater2847
Dead on- burnt
cosinewave
Fuck Nestle
olhotdogfingers
And fuck Starbucks. How hard is it to support locals for Christ's sakes.
tantalumRM
While that’s true who’s actually going to boycott them? How the boycott of Amazon going?
SLCtechie
I’ve been pretty good about boycotting Nestle. The only thing they still have me hooked on is Oreos. Amazon is a more difficult battle.
tantalumRM
It’s not I haven’t order from them in years
magpiegriffin
Fine for me, I just have to stop eating their ice cream once every half year or so and then I'm fine.
LeeeB
I regularly check the list on wiki, as I'm not us based, and everytime I see a new one I use, I stop buying it. The same goes for amazon. I
LeeeB
2/ if Google gives me an amazon result, I try to find another online store. I am forced to buy one product there, as they only use amazon?
mrferri
Agreed. If people actually looked at who makes what they buy in stores they are supporting so many corporations without even knowing.
olhotdogfingers
I don't use em anymore!
Do you?
brainfreez3
The real difference is Nestle products have alternatives, that's the core a successful boycott
tantalumRM
So does Amazon
brainfreez3
amazon sells convenience, generally you can't get free shipping in less than 2 days
MrOsmo
Dudes who want to deny water as a basic human right are a bit more despicable then anything Amazon has going on and doesnt carry the loss of
MrOsmo
Convenience that you have with boycotting amazon. So yeah, boycott Nestle, starbucks, Poland spring, zephyr hills...fuck em
tantalumRM
I agree with you, I have plenty of other places to get my coffees. But are couch potato warriors these days and nothing happens. 1/2
tantalumRM
Second I don’t want nestle draining the rivers and streams near me, since then I couldn’t go trout fishing.
RAS333
This hits pretty hard, I love starbucks drive thru, super simple. 7-11 has $1 coffee and it's pretty good.
GeraltsUnpaidIntern
Same, I get an Americano and a sandwich for myself as a reward for miserable stuff like getting vaccines and tough days at work. Ugh.
Hammertulski
I know it's not a convenient suggestion, but I lobby hard for getting coffee from ethical sources and brewing at home. 32oz of go-juice.
GeraltsUnpaidIntern
I do this most days, but man, sometimes I want a "reward" for myself, and brewing my own Kick Ass won't do it lol
Hammertulski
Fair enough, haha. Quarantine afforded me an opportunity to learn how to make a real mocha and now I'd put mine to the test any day.
Hammertulski
I'm also still (and for the foreseeable future) working entirely from home, so leaving to go get coffee means pants and effort.
