The theme is switching. It used to be the baristas encouraged their customers to "race together."

I hope Starbucks goes broke. Wouldn’t that be a laugh and poetic justice!

If they are that worried, they shouldn’t be overpaying for that bad Starbuck’s coffee.
To: Red in Blue PA
So give them more caffeine, LOL!

Raising the price of burned coffee is something they would do, too.

I only get my coffee there when there are no other choices and I always order in English. Starbucks is the worst. Just sell me some coffee - - keep your political and social justice opinions to yourself.

Yes it would! Add in Ben and Jerry’s and I’d be a happy woman, for a day at least.
