Reply To: Starbucks Story

I went into my local starbucks to verify a few things

1. the items in the showcase are unpackaged and come from local bakeries

2. The Cream Cheese and ameican cheese which is standard in all stores has no hasgacha

3. They handle and warm up sausages and Ham in the same utensils as the grilled cheese.

The person I spoke to was a non obervant Jew who assured me that I as an orthodox Jew should not be eating there.

With reference to Queenser

If someone is bothered by what they see as a “public” display of disregard for basic Jewish principals and this prompts them to write about it then more power to them.
