The stance was in protest against President Donald Trump\u2019s then travel ban on refugees from certain countries already outlined by the Obama administration. The announcement caused outrage and concern among many Starbucks customers, some of whom called for a boycott. People all over the country took to social media to express just how upset they were about the announcement.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\"><\/div>\n<p>The biggest issue raised among people that weighed in was\u00a0that\u00a0an American company was being so quick to come to the aide of refugees, but it felt as if American citizens, particularly veterans, were being ignored. Ultimately, Starbucks felt the pressure and\u00a0issued a second statement to explain to America\u2019s military veterans that the company also had a plan to employ them.<\/p>\n<p>If Starbucks thought this would blow over, they were sadly mistaken. Since the January announcement, consumer perception levels have fallen by two-thirds as measured by YouGov BrandIndex\u2019s Buzz score. The perception tracker measures if respondents have \u201cheard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth, was it positive or negative.\u201d The recent responses show only 24 percent of consumers polled saying they would consider patronizing Starbucks, while two days before the announcement, the results were at 30 percent, the highest proportion in almost a year.<\/p>\n<p>YouGov conducts surveys of about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nola.com\/opinions\/index.ssf\/2017\/02\/is_starbucks_mixing_its_coffee.html\">4,800 people<\/a> each week day as a representation of the U.S. population, and they say that there\u2019s reason to believe the backlash will <a href=\"http:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/starbucks-brand-perception-plummeted-since-220353319.html\" target=\"_blank\">impact the chain\u2019s bottom line<\/a>.

Who can forget the failed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2015-03-22\/it-racist-starbucks-gives-trying-solve-americas-other-great-divide\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cRace Together\u201d<\/a> stunt where Starbucks encouraged its baristas to write the phrase on cups for customers to start a discussion on race? And there was the uproar caused when Starbucks stripped all Christmas themed images from their cups to \u201cpromote inclusiveness\u201d back in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not this decline in positive public opinion or potential loss of revenue will affect Schulz\u2019s refugee hiring plan remains to be seen. Most of us know the best way to get action out of a company is to hit them where it hurts \u2013 their bottom line \u2013 and that appears to be happening right now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2015-03-22\/it-racist-starbucks-gives-trying-solve-americas-other-great-divide\" target=\"_blank\">Zerohedge.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Backlash: Starbucks takes a beating after plan to hire 10,000 Syrian refugees backfires share 4 0 0 18 Views By: Thomas Dishaw Date: March 05, 2017 in: Economy, Immigration, Politics A recent poll on YouGov BrandIndex is showing a negative correlation between Starbuck\u2019s brand perception before and after they announced a plan to hire refugees, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[581,580,582],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadafirst.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadafirst.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadafirst.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadafirst.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadafirst.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=784"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/canadafirst.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":785,"href":"https:\/\/canadafirst.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784\/revisions\/785"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadafirst.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=784"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadafirst.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=784"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadafirst.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=784"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
