Starbucks Schedules Racial Bias training Indoctrination At 8,000 Stores
2018-04-18
[Hot Air] Ed wrote yesterday about the situation at a Philadelphia Starbucks where two black men were arrested after a manager called the police when they refused to either place an order or leave the store.

Starbucks’ CEO offered an apology and met with the two men but that’s not going to be enough to satisfy those who believe this was a case of racial profiling. There have been protests at the store claiming "Starbucks coffee is anti-black" and demands that the manager who called the police and the officers who arrested the men should be fired. Today, Starbucks tried to head off some of the criticism by announcing it would close 8,000 company-owned stores next month to give employees racial bias training:
No, of course not. It will never "be enough."

#6  No, Mullah, your rules only apply to bleached people.

#5  The guys came in, sat down, and never ordered anything. When questioned, they said they were waiting for someone (or a meeting, or whatever).

After they'd been there a while without ordering, (I haven't seen how long, but assuming longer than 10-15 minutes) they were asked to leave.

They didn't.

Don't care who you are, you aren't entitled to use another person's materials or property without the owner's legal right to demand compensation or payment.

#3  Why would I want to go someplace that vagrant sit around and just use the restroom all day long? At least they'll enjoy better decor than the public library.

#2  Starbucks coffee, like all coffee, is naturally black - just don't add half & half!

#1  I think the 8000 refers to the stores that are company owned. The other 5000+ stores are licensed and the company can't require them to close.
