I bet this happens on the day I’m craving a caramel macchiato.

Fire the people responsible, make a press statement saying it won’t be tolerated, send a memo to all staff and get it over with.

I have decaf because I bounce off the walls with caffeine but some people actually depend on caffeine in the morning. I can see more carnage happening if they don’t get one on the way to work.
Starbucks coffee tastes like shit. Only cunts will be bothered by this.

"The two men entered the Starbucks on Thursday and asked to use to the bathroom. An employee told them it was only for paying customers. When they then sat in the store without ordering anything, the manager called police, and the men were arrested for trespassing. No charges were filed.

"Johnson met with the two men on Monday and apologized for how they were treated, a company spokesperson said.

"The company says the manager who called the police is no longer working at that store. Starbucks would not comment on other reports that she has left the company by mutual agreement.

"Separately, a Facebook video taken in January at a Starbucks in California shows a black customer saying that he was not allowed to use the bathroom when a white customer was."

I feel like I'm missing some unwritten detail here about the altercation with the manager, if there was one.

*Based on how other Starbucks I've been to are managed, it is not unusual for managers to ask non-paying customers to leave and not take up seats regardless of race.
that is weird the starbucks here have let me go in and take a shit several times with out buying anything I used to do it before going to the staples center. you don't need a key or token to use a starbucks restroom you just walk in.

The store closures Starbucks Inc. announced Tuesday for racial-bias employee training will cost the company about $12 million in lost revenue, according to MarketWatch calculations.

Factoring in the company’s $22.39 billion in annual sales, and dividing it by the number of days in the year suggests that Starbucks banks about $61.3 million every day. But since according to the announcement, Starbucks locations will close only for part of the afternoon, MarketWatch calculated that locations would lose about 20% of their daily revenue, or $12 million.




that is a 12 million dollar virtue signal

jack in the box and other fast food places have this coin token thing in the door you have to ask for a token to be able to open it this is usually to keep bums out, it isn't everywhere but some places have it. the mom and pop places will have a key with a big ass piece of wood attached to it.

so if they are only closing for part of an afternoon that makes it what a couple hours? what the hell can they learn in a couple hours. they are probably going to watch a corporate video on how to bow down and be huge cucks to everyone and then hold hands and sing kumbaya .this is number 1 bullshit lol .there is no need for this at all except to give the public the impression that the company did something about this incident.

Wtf does this have to do with race?

Did the star bucks employee tell them they had to leave becuase they are Black?
Did the loitering crew demand they should be allowed to use the toilet despite company policy because they feel they should be treated differently due to the of the colour of their skin and the privileges they feel it should entail?
What am I missing here?

You're missing the part that they were black, and that gives them rights above and beyond others. It's all the rage in media right now. Us Latinos don't get such rights, which is a shame. We have our order wall and sactuary city fiasco, but free Internet is just not in our deck of cards at the moment. One cay, one day...

My impression is the media is steering the public assume skin colour was the lone factor in that situation. It seems improbable.

This propaganda is so blatantly absurd.
Grown adults pampering to grown adults, as if they had chains taken off by the Confederate army yesterday and walked ten miles to a Starbucks to piss, through a no-piss zone.

I don't frequent Starbucks, but of the 200 I meandered through last month, not one had a public restroom, or a white one.

This is part of a social de-stabilization campaign against U.S. citizens, there is no other sane explanation.

That's just lost revenue. The people doing the training will need to be paid as well. Unless this training is simply having their employees watch a couple videos and then fill out a questionnaire or something.

Ownership seems to have calculated there's less to lose by taking the course they have.

Considering their typical customer, they are probably correct.
You might be able to chalk this up as some relatively cheap advertising.

Anything dairy at Starbucks makes me sick, I have no idea what the issue is because I drink Dunkin’ with creamer, and I’m fine.
