I’m boycotting Starbucks. Not because my action would actually close down the whole operation but I believe my stands will somehow makes a difference. I’ve received some feedbacks which rather skeptical about the whole idea. Its sound far fetches for a start, does my action will actually makes Starbucks bleed, everyone doubt so, and I doubt it too.
Let hear this first, if ten people choose not to spend RM 10 in Starbucks for one day, Starbucks will lose RM 100 per day. Even though I’m not majoring in Business or Marketing, but surely RM 100 per day means a lot to any business outlet.
I also encourage my cousins to follow my steps, some rather ecstatic about the idea of boycotting Starbucks as we spend most of the time hanging in Starbucks for cuppa of caffeine, surely the place will miss us(money) greatly.
One of my colleagues chided my intention, telling that we can’t really function without American products. Yes, indeed, even I can’t blog without using this American software, like I said before, I do doubt my ability to crash the Jewish economy but I’m doing this for the sake of showing my support for the Palestinians, showing my protest and at least I’m doing something rather sit back and wait for a miracle to come.
Does my action helps? We'll see as i dont have the answer either.
It’s a first step and more to come…
