C-E-O Howard Schultz is asking workers at its 120 D-C-area stores to write "Come Together" on the coffee cups they serve on Thursday and Friday.
He says it's a way to quote: "send our elected officials a respectful but potent message, urging them to come together to find common ground." Last week, Congress and President Obama broke for the Christmas holiday still far apart on a plan. If a deal isn't reached, widespread tax increases and automatic government spending cuts will kick in next week.
Both sides are due back by Thursday and have vowed to make a final attempt.
Starbucks notes workers are not required to write the message on cups.
