    Something tells me if the students, staff, and faculty stop buying coffee from Starbucks, it will have more impact.

    Or am I misunderstanding? Where I am you can choose not to buy Starbucks coffee. Does their university require it for some reason?

        Exactly. People consume mindlessly. If you remove their ability to consume a product at all, then they can’t contribute to the shit practices of an ethically bankrupt company unless they emphatically go out of their way and go the inconvenient route to do so.

      No, the university doesn’t require anyone to buy Starbucks. Are you for real?

      And no, it will have more impact to ban them from campus.

        Actually, you can. I did it.

        Also, I drink coffee now every day, and I never go to Starbucks. It’s cheaper and better to just make it myself.

          We both know you are lying. (/s to be clear)

          Nobody who likes coffee goes to Starbucks, but than again there are university coffeemakers wich are even worse than cafeteria coffee. Luckily my campus had a really bad Italian pizza place with excellent coffee. Not sure what the point of that story was.

            First choice for me is to make my own. I have a Keurig at home and one in my office at work. I have reusable pods and my preferred coffee from the grocery store at each location.

            If for some reason I can’t make my own, first choice is Wawa. I like their coffee, and I like the way they handle the process (get your coffee yourself, and drink it while you wait in line to pay).

            If Wawa is unavailable, next stop would be Dunkin.

            If all that is left is Starbucks, I’m going without. However, I drink it black. Without all the nonsense people get in their over-priced coffee at Starbucks, it tastes like pig farm runoff. I don’t actually know what pig farm runoff tastes like, but I imagine it is similar to Starbucks coffee.
