In the blogpost they explicitly state that Starbucks is framing this as inflation, competition, and “store environment issues.” The blogpost says the numbers we are seeing are more inline with past boycotts that were happening in 2023.

Starbucks’ financial struggles line up directly with the Palestine solidarity boycott that erupted in late 2023. When Starbucks sued its own union for a pro-Palestine post, millions of people worldwide chose to stop buying its lattes

I don’t think you’re going to find a source where a Starbucks executive is going to openly admit that the boycotts and the unionization efforts are affecting their performance. But if you find one, let me know!

They list their sources as ABC News, NPR, Starbucks SEC filings, Middle East Monitor, Reuters, Boycat monitoring data. But they don’t provide links, I wish they would.

Demonic behavior

Very cool looking

cool!
