Maybe it's easy for me to say as i'm a Seattle kid and Sonics fan, I've been off of them since learning about Howard Schultz sale of the Supersonics. So no Starbucks, ever since learning more on it.
If you're a sports fan, this should help you quit Starbucks no problem.

Seeing the montage of tiktoks of people hating starbucks, is confounding to me. It's expensive, takes a while to get, tastes like shit, and they treat their workers like shit and are union busters
Just don't get coffee from there. Make an effort for home or elsewhere. No reason at all to support em

Proud to have seen them get so far, in a way, glad we do not have to play the Dodgers team that swept us the end of the year (after wining what 18 straight?) and who just swept the brewers.
First major jump made, run it back next year. 🤞🏽🤌🏽🙏🏽
