Black Rifle Coffee Company

Interesting company. Never heard of them before until they offered to hire 10,000 vets as a counter to Starbucks hiring refugees. I'm going to place an order soon. They have a website and Facebook page.

Tried them, wasn't impressed. Price + shipping wasn't worth what I could find locally from Steel Cup Coffee.

They're pretty popular with black rifle owners, though, so what do I know?

Also, Starbucks has a pretty big veterans outreach programs..., so I'm not sure what point they're trying to make. In fact, I think they're up to about 8800+ vets hired, and counting.

I'm skeptical of BRC having the capital and growth to support hiring that many vets.

Yeah, I have to wonder if their pledge isn't just a publicity stunt. Are they even big enough to be capable of hiring (longer than a week) 10,000 people? They currently show 4 job openings on their website....

Starbucks, on the other hand, not only beat them to the "hire 10,000 vets" call, but stands a much better shot (in my opinion) of actually doing it.

Starbucks already vowed back in 2013 to hire 10,000 veterans and veterans’ spouses by 2018. At this point, they are close to reaching that goal with having given jobs to 8,800 veterans/veterans’ spouses.

I work for a multi billion dollar company that has 17000 employees.

Adding 10000 to their payroll brings them close to my company's level. I don't see it.

I agree and I see no reason to pay a premium for tactical coffee. I am also not impressed with their names like "Caffeinated as Fuck" names and advertising like that turn me right off no matter what the product is who is selling it. In the end more power to them and if they can hire 10,000 vets then go for it.

I order their coffee and I like it. It's better than anything I can get locally and they donate back to causes that matter to me. H

10000 is a lot to hire. I've worked for startups. Tough to grow that much. Would sure make an interesting coffee shop if they could raise the capital. Maybe they should try Shark Tank.

I bought some coffee and I'm looking forward to trying it. I like supporting veteran owned companies.

It's good coffee. I would rather have caffeineted as fuck than some queer ass Venti Chai bitch coffee coveted by snowflakes everywhere. They give money to Veterans and they support the 2nd Amendment.

whatever floats your boat. my coffee comes from aldi.
they probably are saying this as a publicity stunt but also it might be an "if they, then we will"
starbucks is not going to hire a bunch of refugees, it's just fluff to sell more overpriced coffee to the pinkhat libs standing in the cold. Edit: might have been a ploy to help keep their windows safe too... the libs already forgot who was on their side, breaking their allies windows.
what would they do with thousands of poorly trained, non english speaking people of unknown caliber?
they could take their pick of mexicans already for labor tasks and that language barrier is a hell of a lot easier overcome thanks to spanish second language schooling.
