I not only don’t want their “chatte” I don’t want their “latte” either. If I wanted to be lectured about everything I’d get married again. For the price of two of their Kauphys I can buy a pound of ground mountain beans and brew dozens of non-rasis’ cups at home thank you very much.
The low life liberal Obamabot vermin has gone insane!!! “Starbucks gotta be nuts”
That designer coffee can get pretty expensive and I’m a cheap -———. Having a single cup Keurig at work has been a real life saver for me. LOL!
You left one out.
How Long did White Europeans hold White Europeans in Slavery??
Answer: Race-based slavery is quite a recent phenomenon. Less than five centuries old at most. Through all previous human history, slaves and master came in all shades.
If you consider serfs to be slaves, which is at minimum very near the case, then 23M white Russian slaves weren’t freed till 1861. Or about 6x the number freed during and after our Civil War.
This is like Angelina Jolie trying to get involved with global politics...people need to stick to what they know. I’m willing to give Mr. Schultz the benefit of the doubt on this one, yes there’s blatant hypocrisy in what he’s doing, but my guess is either he didn’t run this by his people first, thus resulting in such an epic blunder...or somebody got fired for suggesting that baristas should actually be responsible for striking up a conversation on race relations with a total stranger.
The stores might be in rich neighborhoods, but the “partners” as they’re called, are rarely from those neighborhoods.
Mr. Shultz should stick to what he knows and does well...coffee.
Appears to be only one. It's kinda hard to tell.
Look for Starbucks to soon be hiring a "Chief Diversity Officer". Only black females need apply for this newly-created executive position.
Just tell the barista to hold the #RaceTogether.
Conway and Taylor, possibly. It is hard to tell.
Think they might want to discuss what years of liberalism’s welfare has done to ruin families and build a permanent underclass?
Those pictures make the objective appear to be relieving their corporate liberal white guilt.
2010 Census
8.5% White
89.8% African American
I wonder how the race topic goes over in the Jennings Starbucks?
Here in the Peoples Republic of Washington State Shultz is exalted for his uber liberal business model. He has started to believe his own press and clearly suffers from the same kind of omnipotent delusions the kenyan does.
Baristas may be trying to identify conservatives. They think conservatives need to be “enlightened” so that everyone is on the same page
“Barista: Pretentious sounding word used by dejected art history and drama majors that describes their employment in order to make themselves feel better about serving coffee.”
At one time there was a bit of skill in pulling a good espresso shot, but now the machines are 100% automated. The “barista” turns a knob selecting what and how much comes out and then pushes the “Start” button. Less skill than working one of those automated coffee vending machines that always requires a timely kick to dislodge the paper cup stuck in the shoot before the coffee comes squirting out.
Even worse from a coffee lover’s perspective is that no one ever seems to calibrate these auto espresso machines and they produce utter crap, which apparently, the customers can’t tell the difference anyway.
racetogether = Talladega
That selling more coffee, perhaps, than anyone else on the planet, may well demonstrate impressive business acumen, is conceded. Nothing in that fact translates into an expert on inter-group relations. The arrogance of imagining otherwise, of course, is something to behold. Were I a Starbucks shareholder, I would be livid. Not being such, I am only amused at what will end up being a very expensive mistake.
Those people have to be geniuses!
They have figured out how to sell a Corolla for a Lexus price, year after year after year.
“How much does Starbucks pay it’s average barista?”
“Is that wage more or less than the average wage paid to the average person-of-color in the US? (To save you all the trouble of looking this up — Starbucks pays less.)”
Excellent questions.
Would you please post the answer.
Thanks
LOL! I’ll bet not one of those boneheads know who Bubba Wallace Jr. is.
