The hashtag #BoycottStarbucks came about because critics of Schultz’s pledge say Starbucks should be working to create jobs for Americans in America, especially veterans, minorities, and the unemployed instead of refugees from foreign countries, the Washington Post reported.
“Hiring 10K refugees makes liberals feel warm BUT we have homeless vets that need those jobs. #BoycottStarbucks,” one Twitter user wrote.
“#BoycottStarbucks to support the AMERICAN WORKERS and National Security,” another user wrote.
“Upon hearing about your decision to hire 10,000 refugees instead of Americans I will no longer spend any money at Starbucks,” another Facebook user wrote on Starbucks’ page.

Starbucks plan to give jobs to refugees would make it harder for Americans citizens to get jobs.
@Starbucks I'm sure US citizens that need jobs appreciate ur discrimination against them #DunkinDonutsHasBetterCoffee #BoycottStarbucks

Nothing like Starbucks giving unemployed Americans the middle finger while supporting and funding possible terrorist that want to kill us! What ever happened to companies screaming to hire 10k home grown Americans?
The only good new is maybe Starbucks can figure out how to get these migrants to work and pass that Info along to Merkel, in Germany where only 13% of migrants actually work .
Most migrants are not ‘refugees’, they are jihadists looking to fulfill the Islamic doctrine of conquest OR economic migrants looking for a handout. Neither is the type of immigrant who will be a net gain to the US.
BOYCOTT STARBUCKS: Alternatives to Starbucks:
1. Chick-Fil-A’s iced coffee

2. The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
Better coffee that Starbucks and just as nice of an atmosphere.
3. Peet’s Coffee and Tea

Seattle’s Best is actually owned by Starbucks, so use this alternative as a last resort.
