They actually folded and dropped the extra charge which still feels a bit surreal while I am sitting here drinking my coffee without that annoying surcharge. It is honestly wild how things change when you stop accepting the status quo and keep pushing even when people tell you it is …
Starbucks announced today that they are "saying goodbye to the free soy...rewards". It was something offered to those who were members of the My Starbucks Rewards card.
It's always bothered me that soy milk wasn't free to everyone who ordered a beverage prepared by the baristas. To even call it a reward was ridiculous. That said since I was a rewards card member I didn't make a big stink about it before. If I didn't have my card with me I would just avoid Starbucks. I just didn't feel it was right to have to pay extra merely because I don't drink dairy milk. With that said I have now realized it's time for those of who drink soy milk to put our foot down. We can't be discriminated against any longer.
If you agree that soy milk shouldn't cost more than cow's milk please sign this petition and pass it onto others! Counting on my fellow vegetarians/vegans and that who are lactose-intolerant to really champion this!
I really never thought this would turn into such a long conversation about what is actually fair at the coffee shop counter. Between the lactose intolerance stories and the vegans just wanting a simple latte without a surcharge I am shocked by how many of you feel the same way about these extra fees. Even if corporate keeps ignoring the emails I am still tracking every single person who clicks sign because your frustration is perfectly clear.

I really never thought this would gain so much steam so fast but here we are and it honestly makes me want to go buy a non-dairy drink right now even if I have to pay that annoying extra charge. Seeing all these people agreeing with me feels validating in a way I didn't expect since I usually just grumble about dairy alternatives to my cat while waiting in the drive-thru line.

It's not fair to be charged for soy milk when other people don't get charged for using skin or 2% instead of whole milk. Some people can't have dairy milk and other people want to stop animal cruelty.

Its honestly insane that they charge for this. I shouldn't have to pay more for a drink just because I don't drink dairy.

I end up paying a dollar extra almost every day just to avoid a stomach ache. It really adds up and it feels like I am being punished for being lactose intolerant.

How can Starbucks justify charging for soy milk. Discrimination.
