Global corporations like starbucks shouldn’t exist. They put profits above people. Support small businesses.

You sure it's the boycott? I never have any desire to even drink Starbuck even before the boycott

I have friends who love coffee and hate Starbucks drinks.

One insists it doesn’t count as coffee 😂

It disgusts me that more people in my own country are not boycotting aswell.

You could simply save your business by not donating to the IDF.

u/EatandDie001 Nov 22 '24

I don’t think it’s about boycotting, Starbucks is just wayyyyyy too expensive. Lately, there are tons of local coffee shops that taste great for half the price. But f*** Starbucks anyway—this is good news!

Well done, Malaysia Boleh! 🇲🇾 Now we have hundreds of jobless Malays thanks to their own doing 👏

Well according to google, Berjaya owns Starbucks Malaysia. So closing them hurts Malaysian workers and Malaysian company.

u/Schrodingers-Fish- Nov 22 '24

Starbucks International still get a cut, and this allows independent Malaysian coffe stores (who also employ Malaysian workers) to take up Starbucks market share.

In Lebanon, a starbucks copy opened right in front of Starbucks, and the ex Starbucks employees started working there.

Berjaya can divest and start other business ventures. I'm pretty sure these guys know their stuff.
