Change Italy locations number from the wrong current number to 37 which is the correct number updated to today April 13th 2024 (see Starbucks Wikipedia page in italian language for reference) Dezisnotonfire (talk) 18:09, 13 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Not done for now: The corresponding article in Italian doesn't have a source for there being 37 locations, and I couldn't find one that did. 〜 Askarion ✉ 20:46, 15 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Boycott amidst the 2023 Israel-Hamas war

Latest comment: 2 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

"to sue the Starbucks Workers United (SWU) union for making a social media post in solidarity with Palestine" This only mentions the first part of what happened, but not the second. Which consequently gives a totally false impression of why Starbucks sued. The union in question posted a quote tweet that read 'Solidarity with Palestine' - yes that parts true. What context is missing is what they were quote tweeting: An anti-Israel account showing Hamas tearing down the border fence so they could invade Israel and proceed to massacre over 1,000 Israelis. Sentence should be re-worded to provide full context, instead of partial. https://www.ynetnews.com/article/s10bmni116

Minions and Friends | Radio Problems | Illumination Entertainment

Stuart, Kevin, and Bob were relaxing and saw a radio and said, “World’s land are Near Compacity”. Kevin Changed the channel and continued relaxing and The Radio said, “The water supply’s are out of all time low”, so Bob freaked out and changed the channel and danced. The Radio started to annoy again, The Earth is on fire and Bob started to cry. Stuart got an Idea and Destroyed it so Stuart, Kevin, and Bob were cheering.

The commercial is part of Minions and Friends in China and United States. 2601:84:8D80:C4E0:E513:C06E:6C44:9EC5 (talk) 16:11, 22 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
