Starbucks CEO said those protesting the company over Israel-Gaza conflict are misled by social media
The recent plea comes in the wake of Starbucks’ tensions with Starbucks Workers United and poor holiday sales
Starbucks chief executive Laxman Narasimhan wants people to stop protesting the company over so-called false, online claims regarding the coffee corporation’s pro-Israel stance amid the Israel-Palestine conflict. “We see protestors influenced by misrepresentation on social media of what we stand for,” Narasimhan said in a letter to Starbucks employees and customers earlier this week.
