Last week, TLS posted a sign at a local Starbucks indicating the shop would no longer carry Cholov Yisroel milk.
Today, TLS has been told by Pride of the Farm that Starbucks shops throughout New York and New Jersey who until now have been carrying Cholov Yisroel milk, would no longer carry the product – due to the added cost involved.
The change goes into effect today.
Something doesnt sound right.
For the few shops in brooklyn and nj to lose thousands of customers because of penny pinching just doesnt add up. There’s definitely more to this story which is not being broadcast.
My guess is that to begin with, Starbucks does not make that much money from “frum” customers. They make the money from the cakes, and foods sold which us frum patronizers can’t purchase. The few dollars they earn from our coffee purchases coupled with the time spent in the store for such small purchases is not worth their investment.
I am sad to see it go myself . But I get their point.
Great news

It was a nice perk. Comfortable place and nice ambience to enjoy a cup of Java.
If the containers were open they weren’t cholov yisroel anymore anyway.
Since when does an open container of CHOLOV YISRAEL MILK become PAGUM (non-cholov yisroel)? Show me a M’kor
