Starbucks: No coffee for Marines

[buckeyebilly]

Sorry if this already exists but I recently received the following e-mail. Has anyone heard about this?

Their coffee is tasting more and more bitter.....
****
****STARBUCKS DENIES COFFEE TO MARINES
****
****Recently 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 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 not support them by buying
****any of their products! As a war vet writing to fellow patriots, 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 for what they and I
****believe is right.
****
****If you feel the same as I do then pass this along, or you can discard it
****and no one will never know. Thanks very much for your support. I know
****you'll all be there again when I deploy once more.
****
****"Semper Fidelis."

****
****PLEASE DON'T DELETE THIS .. ALLOW IT TO BE PASSED TO ALL IN MEMORY OF ALL
****THE TROOPS WHO HAVE DIED SO THAT WE MAY HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE TO
****SUPPORT THEM OR NOT!!!
****
****It's too bad, I liked Starbucks, but no more for me

Rule of thumb: If its an email story bashing a company, its horsehit.

Not really an issue for me since I don't drink coffee, but if I did, I'm sure I would boycott Starbucks.

That would be like a junkie boycotting black tar.

I don't drink coffee either. I just want to boycott something.

Like I said, I recently recieved this e-mail,and unlike some of you, I don't have the internet knowledge to have known about any site I could have visted to check it out. If you notice Big Papa I asked if anyone had heard anything about this. I've learned a lesson today.
