Starbucks Just Trolled ‘Christians’



The wig has already been snatched off the myth that Starbucks is funding the ISIS plot to behead Jesus in a transgender bathroom, it hasn’t stopped Donald Trump from calling for a boycott because he has to pander to the evangelical voters who prefer the docile black guy who really wants you to know he stabbed somebody and the pyramids were built because the Bible. Or maybe the Holocaust. You can never tell with him. But while faux Christians, who really won’t be expecting to see a bearded brown guy descend from heaven, were busy tripping over homeless veterans and immigrant orphans to be assholes to baristas making minimum wage, Jesus was doing a cover of the Cup Song on his YouTube channel and giving Starbucks a thumbs up.

Just in time for Veterans Day: Seattle-based coffee giant Starbucks is announcing today that it will now extend a 100% tuition-free four-year college benefit to the spouse or child of every U.S. veteran or active military reservist employed 20 or more hours a week. This new benefit, whose zero-tuition price point results from a 42-58 partnership between ASU and Starbucks, will be an additional benefit atop the previously-announced college benefit (also four years, 100% tuition free) that Starbucks extends to every employee who works 20 hours per week or more...Starbucks will also now be paying for up to 80 hours per year for service obligations of employees who are active duty or reservists in the U.S. Armed Forces or National Guard.

To their credit, the majority of my Christian friends on Facebook think this red cup drama is stupid and petty and exactly the type of thing that make the rest of us think they’re sociopaths who lash out when their beliefs are slightly inconvenienced making their mass delusional piety lie when ordering coffee or burning down a Planned Parenthood. In the meantime, Starbucks will gladly take their money and send veterans’ families to college instead of buying a private jet or installing stadium seating so more people can give them money whenever they say “God bless the troops”. It’s a real crowd pleaser from what I’ve heard.



 Here’s Rachel Hilbert. I assume she drinks coffee.
