Hey Starbucks! Cut the propaganda and stick to overpriced coffee.
Shut up and brew!
Call it Condescension Fatigue. One smirking liberal offers a dog-eared laundry list of complaints, you can blow it off. Six years of it from thousands of them, not so much.
Symptomatic of leftist fears of what may be coming?
Just what I need — a sanctimonious lecture from a 20-year-old whose life work consists of pouring burnt coffee.
Starbux management has to be Gods.
They have figured out how to sell a Corolla at a Lexus price, year after year after year.
I am confused. So are you supposed to hold up the line and discuss race relations with the coffee server/cashier workers? But what if they are trained to render the liberal view of Ferguson and race relations? Are those of us who are more conservative supposed to argue the points? Are we supposed to discuss this with the person behind us in line??? What the heck???
Starbucks coffee sux anyway (IMO).
It’s dark roasted, too bitter.
I prefer medium roast.
I’m done with them.
I predict this little social experiment will be history even before Memorial Day, May 25th. If it’s still around in an active sense, I suspect they would have gotten more specific about who is going to talk to whom about what, when, for how long, and with or without profanity.
Will the employees recieve bonuses for spreading the party line, or will they be somehow penalized for not do so? Will there be a special line or time of the day for this? A time limit? Must there be Gender Equity in choosing who get’s the treatment? Must there be a waiting period if I just ‘discussed stuff’ today, must I wait an hour, a day, a week? Must Customers identify themselves or take a number while the ceiling camera films everybody below? Some customers could loudly lecture you all day long, after a few Italian Espressos and sugary Cupakes.
>> they questioned how workers such as baristas, many of them young adults who are not trained to navigate such difficult conversations, would manage.
Simple. They will act like most Millennials: with smugness, and that air of intellectual superiority that you get from a lifetime spent in school but not quite paying your own bills yet.
Another reason for me to avoid Starbucks like the plague.
That and overpriced, cold decaffeinated coffee.
Debate on race relations ...
so that’ll include the forbidden topic of black crime too?
Just another liberal idiot with feel-good ideas.
Just brew coffee and do it well, that should be your goal. Keep out of something you are not prepared for.
If by "deft" the writer means "alienated half his potential customer base", then yeah, Schultz is "deft".
The rest of us just call him "moonbat liberal".
If they write political slogans on the rare cup of coffee I buy there, I will turn in my cup for a refund, and it will be the end of my occasional patronage.
I have never had one on their overpriced brews. McDonalds cupajoe is just fine. Have I missed anything?
