Shooting Starbucks

My Facebook last post:

I now understand the movement against 'big coffee'. Starbucks supports the life raping of it's customers and for all of the money I have spent in their stores, for all of the gift cards I have purchased for past friends and family, not to mention the sleeping homeless I have passed along my walks who woke up to find them, wondering how they got there, for all of the cash I have given to their 'CASA' Non Profit, and all of the generous CASH gratuity I have ALWAYS given to the employees after every purchase (over countless visits over many, many years)...given from my GOOD, SINCERE heart...For all of the mindful, heartfelt conversations I have shared with their Staff and the holiday gifts I have brought to them, sometimes gifts I made myself...I have been harassed by their posts here on Facebook one time too many...just because this company is connected to other companies who create the artists who have stolen from me and need to defend themselves through campaigns of (meant to be) hurtful harassment. I used to think this was a 'human' corporation because this was a daily stop on my daily walk for many, many years. I loved the people there and they loved me, too. I considered them friends. Every day. How disgusting that Corporate wars and their gossip weapons for protection can extinguish something so good, something so worthy and sincerely invested in. Yuck Starbucks. You may be able to purchase the loyalty of others, but my loyalty is reserved for companies that have a spirit of sincere integrity...not hate and greed/gossip based warfare disguised behind 'look how good we are to the world' propaganda. It's a little latte to make up, baby! I support you no longer. Happy Birthday to me(o: I thank God for my preserved soul as I leave a sea of backstab behind me (backwards, of course...like a trained diver...I'm no fool). As I never lose hope, I hope I meet this Corporation someday in the future after it experiences a much needed, internal makeover. I will miss my mochas...but Carmel Coffee Roasting Co. has you beat there, already...by way of kindness, as well as quality consistency. They make the kind of mocha I remember you USED to make...a long time ago. I expect your next Corporate Ego-motivated move is to buy them out now for loyalty to your politics, eh? Of course, I wish the best for you...along with returning every hurtful, warfare message from your company that I have been harassed with....all I send personally is...love. The hate returned here was always yours to begin with. All I have to give, all that comes from my heart is LOVE and HOPE. I hope you can somehow work these vital virtues into your corporate soul before sending it on to your P.R. team to brainstorm it into your next commercial campaign to con the world, along with everything else you do for political profit. Love Always, Michelle Pisciotta (Happy Birthday to ME!)
