There is way too much talking from Starbucks employees in any case
No. I talk to them about what I want them to do for me which is what I’m paying them to do

Does the CEO not know that the already have a reputation of being ditzy? Socializing while we are waiting for them to shut up and get our coffee, and yes we want a bag for all that money

As a NASCAR fan, I’ll talk racing with anyone. Just don’t be offended if I’m smirking and staring at your shower curtain ring earlobes the whole time.

I’m a white guy. When the barista asked me my name for the cup, I said Barack. She got indignant and asked for my real name, I walked away. When my coffee was ready, She just sat the cup in the shelf...there was no name written in it. That raciest thing is really working at Starbucks.

I’ve never had a cup of starbucks coffee. My preppy younger brother (7 years younger), he loves the stuff. But knowing him... he isn’t gonna do so well in the discussion with the barista.

What if your employees get to hear how mad people have become over race because of this administration.

I do not think you are going to get to hear what you want with this stupid push if it is anything like what I have been shocked to hear this last year. Nobody ever spoke racist comments in polite social gatherings until this year. If people are not afraid to comment any more it is to late to put Whites, Asians and Hispanics back under the equality quilt trip.

When people fear a group of people there is no way to treat them equal no matter what propaganda you push at the rest. What Blacks and muslims have done to themselves is their own fault at this point and no, people have a right to mistrust these two groups at this point between shooting cops, mob thieving, and the knock out game and oh so loving blowing up as many people as you can....that is if you have even one brain cell left over from all the liberal propaganda.

chances are if you work at a starbucks you are not setting the world on fire with your intellect.
Chances are I will NEVER grace an overpriced, starbucks, nor will I discuss my feelings about race with anyone there.

That is a legitimate and excellent question for the CEO of a corporation who has decided to ham-handedly lecture us about “race”.

I’m pretty sure I know the answer, but it would be fun to watch that condescending dickweed trying to answer it.

We have a few of those coffee shops around here, they are slow. They have two sides - but only a couple of people can work inside.

I plan to discuss race the next time I go. I can’t remember ever seeing a non-white person working at either of the starbucks I go to and I will be asking why they don’t like non-white people.

Do I discuss race with anyone? No...especially not with pierced Starbucks employees.

But remember, you can talk to a high school drop out making $10/hr about race. Where else can you talk race with a high school drop out with piercings?

No because they serve wretched, weak coffee and stale pastry

It is burnt. Over-roasting the mediocre beans allows them to use less coffee to produce a bitter brew that people interpret as strong when in reality, its a weak brew of coffee.
