Address not just racial bias, but white privilege

How strange it is that they call it "white privilege" when the whole point of this charade at Starbucks is to show that the rules that apply to everyone else need not apply to blacks and other "minorities". If the rule is that you have to be a paying customer to use a bathroom or be on the premises, that's well and good for everyone else, but not for anyone who wants to cry "racism."

Since it seems that everyone, from employees to CEOs are willing to play along with this game means that non-whites have a blanket license to loiter, trespass, and vandalize wherever they please.

“Address white privilege”? Like, charge whites more? Make them give their seats up to “people of color”? Don’t let them use the restrooms?

Social “awareness” is so much more important than a caffeinated hot brown drink.

1. Scan every person who enters the shop. Rate them according to the Political Victimology World Picture hierarchy.
2. Assess their behavior and lower your expectations of their courtesy the higher their human group is on the Victimology chart.
3. Wear gloves, masks, and hazmat suits at all time because the Protected Homeless carry diseases.
4. Ask for shorter shifts so you can get home in time to relieve yourself. You don’t want to use the bathrooms here.
5. Keep making brown hot caffeinated drinks for everyone. Politely ask to be paid but expect not to be.
6. Keep looking for another job.

What percentage of Starbucks regulars are white vs. black?

Of course, the kind of white person that frequents Starbucks is probably super liberal and fully on-board with the 'white privilege' nonsense.

“Coffee, black” is not a racist demand.

I am over 60 so I get one point for ageism. But I am a white male heterosexual, so I have three strikes against me. Net rating -2.
