Gosh this is horrible. I can't believe Starbucks would do such a thing. Show some support, they've got low enough morale as it is. At least don't respond and pretend you didn't get the email. That's it, no more starbucks for me.

Did you know Obama didn't drink Starbucks before the war even started? He's got good vision.

I will take a double mocha, triple chai swirl, with mint flavored Ready Whip on top please.
