Starbucks
Reply to Soldiers in Iraq Said Company Would Not Send Coffee

I was a loyal Starbucks customer for many years but will no longer give them my business. My brother went to Iraq when this current war began. He was there for a year.

A few of the troops were talking and decided that one of the things they missed the most about the states was Starbucks coffee. They collectively wrote a letter to the Corporate Office of Starbucks requesting some kind of coffee to be sent to them in Iraq and expressing their love for the companies coffee.

The response they received was that Starbucks did not agree with the war or our troops being over there and would therefore not send them anything.

I couldn't believe that this popular well known company would outright deny our troops their products.

I think that it is wrong for a company like that to take a political approach to a simple request for a mail order of coffee.
