Please don’t consume Starbucks. They have a reputation for buying from farms in Brazil and Guatemala that employe slave labor and child labor.
EDIT: Starbucks also abuses the Italian language. None of their drinks are what they claim to be. That mocha you had is too large to be a mocha.
And it tastes like burnt shit.
Isn't that the case with just about every coffee producer?
No it is not.
There are plenty of artisinal coffee roasters that source beans ethically.
And don't burn them to a crisp.
Still taste like crap tho
Stop drinking trash coffee then.
There’s ones near me that grow their own beans in greenhouses
Please don’t say artisanal. That is a bullshit word. There is such a thing called speciality which is a technical term for coffee that is graded at 80-100 points. If you are using words like artisanal or gourmet, you are not knowable. Those in my opinion are bullshit words that make poor quality coffee sound fancy and super gross.
I only drink speciality.

...ok...
Eh, everyone does it, why not throw the known slavers some cash?
The Starbucks CEO commutes from Southern California to Washington on his private jet every single day.
They also have a reputation for making themselves the most important figure in those economies by building hospitals and schools for the families of the farmhands.
Edit: this is not praise
Back in 2019 during the commodity crisis when the price was below a $1, they pretended to contribute lots of money to helping their farmers. The company publicly announced they were donating money to the farms they owned. That amount based on available financial data suggested that that money was equal to a single afternoon’s profits.
The point here is that Starbucks could have been contributing to the falling price of commodities, which they should have released more current financial data for. More transparency would have given a better idea if they were having a positive or negative impact. What this all boiled down to was simply saying what they paid their farms. If they did that, it would have been better.
