Starbucks serves up hypocrisy, Venti-size

Probably not that many if Starbucks are not in the hoods.

[Night Hides Not]

Lot of white guys on that 20 person team...half of them must be gay.

[Grampa Dave]

BOL!

My wife and I are not the friendliest people on earth before we have our first cup of coffee.

The last thing I would want any morning before I have my first dose of caffeine is some minimum wage idiot with an instant unemployment degree asking me about race before I have my first coffee.

SBUX knows damn good and well their yuppie emporiums would be quickly ghettoized by feral bands of drug-dealer, gang-banger types if located in poor black neighborhoods, quickly driving out any decent citizens foolish enough to grossly overpay for grossly poor quality yuppie coffee.

They have BET

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks.

One out 19 top officers are black or .95%.

Time for Al Sharpton to pay a visit to Schultz.

[DPMD]

Schultz would like to talk to me about race; I’d like to talk to him about the money he collected in his scheme to “help obama create jobs,” consisting of jars in all the stores to collect $5 donations from customers for that alleged purpose. One day, the jars are in the stores, next day they’re not. No results posted, no audit.

How about it, Howie?

[DPMD]

Cheaper yet if you empty the pod and refill it with the coffee of your choice, again and again. All that’s required is a sharp knife (and a steady hand).

Just bring some White Out with you

If a barista bothers me with some... race conversation, I'll show him the new video I made: The Trayvon Martin Lied (sung to the tune of "The Horst Wessel Lied." I wonder what the reaction of the barrista would be.

[Know et al]

Hello FWF. I was not impressed with Stbks. Of course, I only tried it once. Perhaps, there may be something that I would like.

I know what you mean. I tried a cheap brand of coffee and I like it as well as any. I get a 1 lb 7 oz can for $5.99. I've stayed with it since. I do decaf.

How many are gay? I’d say a few.

[petercooper]

Fuzzy math. 5.3% are black.

[SamAdams76]

When are the much ballyhooed race discussions going to start?

I went into a Starbucks this morning in the very upscale town of Ridgefield, CT hoping to get into a nice lecture...or 'discussion' on my white privilege but the barista simply took my order and moved me on down the line. I then had my coffee drink slid across the counter with nary a comment except "have a nice day."

[Know et al]

LOL! That's the way I see it. LOL

The average Starbucks barista (and "expert" on race) earns less than $10/hr.

[EVO X]

race to get her

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks.

What I get for using my pc calculator and hitting the wrong key.

[xp38]

Yeah but in Seattle it will soon be $15/hr.
