I have noticed that most coffee shacks are staffed by younger attractive females.
The CNN article on this has some great twitted comments dealing with:
How much of a profit Starbucks makes off of coffee beans bought from poor farmers.
Lack of diversity in Starbucks corporate leadership.
The role Starbucks plays in fostering gentrification.

At the risk of violating political correctness, you are on to something. Contrast the workers at Starbucks with employees at some of the fast food places, for example. Both are employing people earning minimum wage or close to it. Both are employing people in very basic jobs. Both have a similar amount of customer service involved.
At the risk of being attacked about PC matters, I think places like Starbucks have higher standards, and/or attract a better quality of worker.
I might have worded it a bit differently, but I do believe my association with Starbucks has just about run its course.
I sure ain't waiting for my first encounter with a hijab!! clad barista...!!!
Venti CIAO this...!
LOL!
They must have been threatened by Je$$e Jack$on.
Hey Starbucks,
You’re in business to sell COFFEE, not change society.
I love some of your stuff, but I am THROUGH with it.
If I want coffee, I’ll go somewhere the employees aren’t required to preach at me.
Isn’t this what THEY scream about Christians??? - That Christians JAM their religion down people’s throats???
“Maybe they should tackle world peace while they are at it.”
I believe Miss Universe owns the world peace franchise, so Starbucks needs to stay out of that area.
