Whilst I'm aware Starbucks call themselves `gourmet' coffee shops, this notion is laughable to many, particularly outside the U.S. (no offence intended!). Is is perhaps worth altering this to indicate that Starbucks call themselves this, but not passing comment on its accuracy? [[User:Andrewferrier|Andrewferrier]] 11:57, 2004 Oct 24 (UTC)

== Adding new content to environmental practices section ==
Yes, that was a ridiculous adjective, I've removed it. The thing about "intellectual discussions" is also absurd - I can only imagine that the writer was talking about Starbucks's reputation, so that's what I've changed it to. On the whole the article is surprisingly weak considering the strength of negative feeling against Starbucks in the States (or so I've heard). Isn't it accused of swallowing up a generation of privately owned coffee shops and replacing them with their own standard format? That was what made me look up this article.

It was recently announced that Starbucks and Mercedes-Benz teamed up to install electric vehicle (EV) chargers at Starbucks locations, supporting sustainability efforts and the development of EV infrastructure. [https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/17/24199984/mercedes-benzs-starbucks-ev-charging-stations-400-kw Source]. Is this a good piece to add to the environmental practices section?

:There may be negative feelings, but there are plenty of people who buy their coffee and have made them successful here in the US. Plus, they have a well-cultivated reputation as a "caring" company. Not caring enough to allow a union, however... [[User:Gwimpey|Gwimpey]] 05:13, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC)


== Boycott amidst the 2023 Israel-Hamas war ==
:The "negative feelings" against Starbucks are greatly over-rated. Otherwise the chain wouldn't be so successful. While they have no doubt "driven" any number of "Mom and Pop" independent coffee shops out of business, the fact is, before the advent of Starbucks, there weren't very many coffee shops in the United States. Certainly not on every block, in every airport concourse, and every grocery store, as is now the case. America used to be, for the most part, a vast wasteland of poor-to-mediocre coffee. Starbucks has undeniably played a major role in raising America's "coffee consciousness". [[User:Erik Neu|Erik Neu]] Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)


"to sue the Starbucks Workers United (SWU) union for making a social media post in solidarity with Palestine" This only mentions the first part of what happened, but not the second. Which consequently gives a totally false impression of why Starbucks sued. The union in question posted a quote tweet that read 'Solidarity with Palestine' - yes that parts true. What context is missing is what they were quote tweeting: An anti-Israel account showing Hamas tearing down the border fence so they could invade Israel and proceed to massacre over 1,000 Israelis. Sentence should be re-worded to provide full context, instead of partial.

Starbucks has been impacted by a ransomware attack. The attack was done on its Blue Yonder supply chain management software provider. The attack disrupted Blue Yonder's services, affecting Starbucks' payroll, staff scheduling, also affected other clients like Morrisons and Sainsbury's. Blue Yonder is investigating the breach but has not identified the attackers or provided a full recovery timeline. Reported by WSJ and others.

: No indeed, it's just a chatroom. Still, we don't cover the notable anti-starbucks movement well (I added a bit, but there's probably lots more), and there has to be a decent, well-argued site criticizing the company somewhere. -- [[User:John Fader|John Fader]] 01:12, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

== Website to represent distaste of Starbucks ==

www.revbilly.com is the site of a New York City based activist group, headed by actor and activist Bill Talen, that has an on-going anti-Starbucks campaign and carries a lot of information regarding that movement and that point of view. I am personally part of that group (a member of the choir) so feel a bit compromise about putting the site on wikipedia myself. However it is a good site to represent one aspect of what Starbucks means. What do others think?

==The D&#283;1ocàt0r link==
[[User:DreamGuy|DreamGuy]] removed a link to a site which aims to provide searches for coffee shops that aren't Starbucks. I think he was right to do so, as the site in question clearly isn't a relevant link for Starbucks. Moreover, it seems its inclusion here was part of a [[Googlewhack]] attempt to bind its name with that of Starbucks [http://www.boingboing.net/2005/04/04/antistarbucks_site_d.html (boingboing post)]. We should have an exlink or two for the anti-starbucks movement, but neither this nor ihatestarbucks is really informative. -- [[User:John Fader|John Fader]] ([[User talk:John Fader|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/John Fader|''contribs'']]) 17:39, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

==Heraldry==
I was in the Lithuanian National Museum this last summer, in Vilnius, and was flabbergasted to see the Starbucks logo on clay tiles, right next to the [[Lithuanian]] [[Vytis]] and the [[Coat of Arms of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth|Polish eagle]]. These were from the 15th/16th century, part of a large room furnace/heater that was dug up during renovations of the building next door. Anyone here aware of any on-line photos or sources for this bit of heraldry? I'm not sure of the connection, it may be a herald from [[Ruthenia]] or possibly [[Bavaria]] or [[Sweden]] ?? No, it was definitely '''not''' the [[Coat of Arms of Warsaw]], which is a single-tailed mermaid. This was the original bare-chested, twin-tailed starbucks mermaid.

== Hear Music ==

I recently discovered that Hear Music, [http://www.starbucks.com/hearmusic/about.asp?category_name=About+Us according to their website], started as a mail-order company before it partnered with Starbucks. While it's a Starbucks brand now, does this mean it could be made into a separate (more complete) article? --[[User:Hersch|Hersch]] 22:05, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

==Starbucks Everywhere==

I added the guy who has been going around the world trying to take pictures of every Starbucks. http://www.starbuckseverywhere.net/ Pretty interesting, I think. Plus it's a great resource for anyone who wants to see what Starbucks around the world look like.--[[User:Tyugar|Tyugar]] 02:41, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
