So Starbucks kinda bowed to the anti-gun people wringing their hands about lawful carry.
Now they’re going to have to deal with Vegans.
Brent Caldwell, “a huge fan of Starbucks” in Ferndale, Mich., is using a Change.org petition to ask the ubiquitous Seattle coffee company to offer a dairy-free version of its popular Pumpkin Spice Latte.
“My girlfriend and I will visit our favorite location up to four times a week. We are also both vegan,” Caldwell wrote in his petition. “Normally, this is not a tremendous issue at Starbucks because so many drinks can be made with vegan and dairy-free ingredients, which generally just means using soy milk instead of cow’s milk.
“Sadly, in the case of the seasonal Pumpkin Spice Latte, this does not hold true,” he said. “There is currently no vegan option for this drink mix, which is a total bummer.”
I have no idea how difficult or easy it would be to accommodate Vegans. I also have no problem with people with a vegan diet (tho the vast majority of vegan PEOPLE I have met have a similar level of preachy misery that anti-gun people have), and I see nothing wrong with giving them options or whole menu selections.
Still The fact that this isn’t one of the vegan Starbucks items, it makes me wonder if the vegan options would simply be unpalatable.
I look forward to seeing Starbucks abandon all personal corporate interests, and work to make their stores in the images of all who protest loud enough.
