The franchisees will rename their cafes “Cylons”

Lol they already exited half my country cause their coffee is shit and no one bought it.

Cool now leave the US too
TexMexHex
Cool. But their coffee is still mediocre.

A few people say it is overpriced too.

Ain’t no sound but the sound of his feet. Machine guns ready to go. Out of the doorway the bullets rip to the sound of the beat.

Fuck Russia.
DukeBushido
More to do with that "less than 1%" bit than anything else; I'm sure. Ruble is worthless, so they don't want them anymore.
imgurnaknockuout
If they cared about Ukraine, why did all these companies wait until they couldn't turn rubles to dollars/euros to make these announcements?
Lionskull
because the people who will lose out on these products are the russian people not the russian rulers.
imgurnaknockuout
By your logic, they should still be there. This is about corporate greed, with zero regard for the lives that hang in the balance
AgnosticPaladin
You mean the 80% of Russian people that support Putin? The 2/3 Russian people that support the invasion? Then good.
Lionskull
yes, because those people know the full picture and are making a decision while knowing the full extent of what is happening.
fnoigy
They'll likely write all of it off in their taxes
TheAlviss
130 cafes? Ok, but that's just one streets worth in Moscow. What about the rest of the country?
ICannotSanctionURBuffoonery
How do we get them to pack up their terrible, burnt coffee, and head back to Seattle?
TheEvenPrez
Good for Star Bucks. That will cost them a latte
LompHoofd
lmao

Take your +1 and don't let the door hit you in the ass as you leave.

I worked security in Seattle and the locations Starbucks is where they trained the Russian girls to open the first starbucks over there
DeathLemons
Cant believe that was 15 years ago
MitchAporia
I wish Starbucks left Canada too

That’ll learn them
harambedaycare
Why? Are they unionising?
iameddieX
Sorry Russia, no more crap coffee for you.
km3000
Sounds like they have grounds to leave.
pshelton44442
I see what you did there

I first read that as “in fifteen years”. WTF.

Shit coffee anyway. Being that said.....Nice!

I read a while back citi was still there. May have changed though.

USSR export Stolly was made in Ukraine but has been made in Latvia since 2000 as owner Yuri Shefler left Russia when Putin came to power.

I once got a bottle in Langkawi for $6. later i watched a Korean man nearly impale himself when a paragliding landing went bad. What a day!

Raytheon, BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, those guys.

Wait, these companies operate out of Russia?

Fun fact, IAQG has de-certified all aerospace parts manufacturers and auditors in Russia.

Burger King, Baskin-Robbins, Gap, and Dunkin Donuts to name a few. Lego says they are leaving but stores are still open

Just another reason I don't eat at burger King
speershawks
I also watched those guys walk around the mall awkwardly.
OmnipotentBeing
Fuck BK. I won't ever eat there again if they don't leave.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
IIRC corporate hq ordered to close up, but the local subdivision or whatever refused to.
StSob
AFAIK most BKs work on franchise, so the hq cant do shit, just like with franchise McDs.
Jackoftoys
They can stop giving them BK supplies. The stores can stay open, but will be serving knock off shit. It happened to a branch here in Pgh.
Santac99
Lego has stopped shipments. The stores are russian owned and not controlled by Lego.
moosemulligan
Baskin-Robbins always finds out.
jakkejakke22
I'm impressed how quickly so many companies left russia.

I can't wait to see how impressed you are when they try and quietly go back once it's all blown over. Money is money.

https://www.dontfundwar.com/directory Just for info, I am NOT making a recommendation to donate to this fund.
Imback42
Thank you for this very informative list. Shockingly long with some surprise names.
Thephedora
Lot of green, less red but still too much, alsonstill too much yellow.
LurkerOfDarkness
It's not supereasy for all companies to just pull out, some will need to sell assets to not go bankrupt, some need to get things out ½
LurkerOfDarkness
Physically, others have complicated production methods and will need to replace parts made in Russia etc. 2/2

Honest, it's hard for me to process the information. Can some one dm me info on macdonalds and Starbucks? Pleases and thank yous in advance

Great resource
gaberham
Ooh!! Thanks!
SpecialAgentPinkfinger
Weirdly enough it kinda makes sense that banking firms are all "digging in" at some point this will be over and the economy will recover.
SpecialAgentPinkfinger
Dirty rotten scumbags, all of them, but it makes sense.
stauffalopagus

swc0806
Not trying to justify,but a lot of those companies digging in are pharmaceutical and medical.Could be argued it’s for the good of the people
Marsupialmessiah
Thanks i was gonna post this, its inhumane for pharma to pull out, in a lot of cases means civilian deaths
Orzufancylad
I have made no judgments on any of the companies, I am simply providing the link. I doubt JnJ could leave anyway, too much invested.
swc0806
People need medicine, not the citizen’s fault the govt is a piece of shit.
Kamasu0Tra
Totally disagree. The government only get to be a piece of shit because the citizens sit back and let them.
GriffinMann41
It's easy to say they sit back from the comfort of your own home, with most likely a relatively lax police force that won't just on a 1/
Smogy
so let's deny 100% of the citizens their medicine ignoring the fact that the opposition gets killed or poisoned in that country...
FrogBotherer
The implication that the citizens of Russia have any ability to remove Putin from power is hilarious.
Kaleopolitus
I agree that the Russian government is the problem and responsibility of their people. But the suffering you seek to inflict is unacceptable
LurkerOfDarkness
Your view is based on the false assumption they have free elections.
MushroomFiend
I also noticed cloudflare. Do they provide a VPN or similar service?
SciencePetsComputers
They provide DDOS protection for websites. Basically they mitigate DDOS methods and provide server power to outpower them.
SciencePetsComputers
A DDOS(Direct Denial of Service) attack is when a hacker sends so many requests(I.E login attempts) that it blocks legitimate users.
LetsEatGrandpaCommasSaveLives
Sounds like something someone making a recommendation to donate to this fund would say...

I have not looked into this charity at all and can make no judgments on if they are a good one or not. Just use it as a resource.

Awful lot of red in that ledger.

That list is huge. was scrolling forever thinking I got to be almost at the end. Nope, 1/3 from top

Yeh, there are a lot of companies in Russia from outside the country.
