Starbucks War on Christmas

Starbucks War on Christmas

Christmas items in Starbucks! The outrage!

Starbucks has decided not to celebrate Christmas this year. Yes, there will be the usual selection of Eggnog, Gingerbread, Chestnut Praline, and Crème Brulee Lattés, and Peppermint Mocha, and the favorite treats including cranberry bliss bar (mouth watering good), but there is no Christmas scene or holiday design on the cup which is obviously a sign that the corporation is totally Anti-Christmas. Seriously, who sells Christmas food items and doesn't put a Christmas tree or Santa face on their cups, napkins, and other items to go with it? What is an Eggnog latte without ornaments on a paper cup that is going to end up in the trash? Come on Starbucks, where's your Christmas Spirit?!?!?

It seems like they left that spirit on the menu and on the sale floor. Sure, go ahead and sell $12.95 mugs with ornaments on them, Christmas K-cups and Coffee for $9.95 to $16.95, and big travel mugs and even a $2 refillable cup that says "JOY" on, making millions have to skip out on TWO or THREE or FOUR holiday lattés in order to buy a cup they will have at home with Christmas designs on it, but don't bother giving your patrons a beautifully designed Christmas scene on the cup that will go into the trash. That's fine, your customers will gladly go roam the country for a store with holiday coffees that offer them a holiday cheer paper or Styrofoam or whatever cup, because of all the things to boycott Starbucks over, this is it!


Now, honestly, the cups are pretty boring and blah as far as Christmas cheer go, and as painful as it is, most people will probably still be drawn to your company because of the delicious Christmas beverages and treats and possible gift items, and the fact that gold card members get awesome deals, and because the company is doing the buy 5 grande or venti holiday beverages and get 1 free offer, with the little ornaments stickers. Even so, the point is, this company has gone too far, and the cup issue must be fixed, ASAP! To all the Bah Humbuggers, from now on my name for the baristas will be "Merry Christmas!" Take that, Starbucks.
