I prefer PJ’s. They’re the official caffeinator of the LSU Tigers.

Starbucks is like Nike and Apple. Their demographic (at least in the US) tolerates that stuff, so they have no self-awareness in that area. But India and the middle east are different beasts. Enjoy the chaos!

The target consumer of Starbucks is quite different than that of Bud Light

Lots of Muslims in India. I’m sure they won’t destroy the Starbucks properties.

The biggest issue is the disconnect. I frequent left leaning and right leaning sites.

This site is sure that Bud Light sales have plummeted.

More left leaning sites do not see it the same way. They think bud light is thriving.

That’s a serious issue.

That's what I immediately thought when I read the headline. It's Starbuck's. Budweiser has a very different demographic.

Then I saw he was talking about Inia. Well...that changes things.

I get my coffee from a pot in my kitchen. Starbucks and all the others can kick rocks.

This is what scares me also. Left leaning sites love Biden and Harris and think they are way better than the Trump. It's a scary mindset to try an discern where the disconnect is. I guess it must be media penetration of the average dumb person in our country that only goes with what is popular and said over and over again.

Limp wristed men and soccer mom liberals are their de facto customer base so these boycotts won't work.

It's completely different than alienating your beer drinking customers.

yeah but India is a different country. The Muslims and Hindus aren't going to appreciate this and they don't take it quietly as Christians do.

You can only hide losing money for so long before you have troubles paying the bills; ask Disney about if they are thriving.
