Interestingly, the Washington Post recently reported that Starbucks Executive Chairman Howard Schultz may seek the Democratic nomination for president of the United States in 2020. If thats true, that could explain a lot about the companys concern with pleasing leftist activists.
As part of its overreaction to the Philadelphia incident, Starbucks said it would close all its over 8,000 company-owned stores in the U.S. May 29 to conduct anti-bias training for employees seemingly buying into the notion that the two African-American men were asked to leave the store because of their race.
Starbucks also engaged former Attorney General Eric Holder as an adviser on diversity issues. He has a long history of making accusations of racial discrimination, often unjustified.
Meanwhile Chick-Fil-A owned by a conservative family whose traditional views on marriage have earned the wrath of many left-wing cities and college campuses has the highest sales per location of any quick-serve chain in the country, almost four times the amount of Starbucks. Perhaps theres a lesson to be learned there for other American companies considering whether or not to capitulate to the social justice mob.
At one level incidents like the one at the Philadelphia Starbucks are minor affairs that are ginned up into major crises by the left-wing outrage machine. On the other hand, Starbucks decision throw open its doors to non-customers to use as public gathering places shows just how far things can go when a company decides that placating social justice warriors is more important than satisfying customers.
While its actions may have bought off the mob for now, Starbucks may find soon that its customers dont want to be served coffee in a in a politically correct corporate homeless shelter.
And come to think of it, Chick-Fil-A has better coffee anyway.

I’ve crossed over - I’m starting to feel sorry for Howard Schultz ...
Love it!!!
“They need to start giving away refrigerator boxes so these poor people have a vacation home when they need to get away from it all! -sarc”
PBS in conjunction with Starbucks will sponsor a TV show called “This Old Box”
...and if they are serious, they should all be open 24/7.
Free Wi-Fi as well!
I was just thinking about the libraries.
The main one near me has reading rooms that have been ruined by this population. The Computer Room smells slightly of urine and Pine Sol. The upholstery on their sofas has questionable ‘mostly dry’ stains. It’s a lot like visiting
an Adult Day Care Facility. Apparently, the librarians are not allowed to shoo anybody out, not even the sleepers.
Hopefully hospitals will start sending their Medicaid patients there for overnight stays as well.
May want to think about shorting their stock.
I have a starbucks being a 5 min walk down my street.
really thinking of showing up with a extra large Dunkin’ Donut coffee and a few breakfast sandwiches and spending a few hours there with my laptop.
Don't forget to use the bathroom a few times
My NON APPLE laptop.
THAT should really piss them off...
Maybe i’ll spend those few hours in their bathroom...
Years ago I was in midtown Minneapolis and visited a Burger King. It was right there in the middle of everything.
I left. Not only did it smell, but it was not clean and the people were absolute scum.
The city is cold as hell and Burger king was warm and attracted the urban detritus
Some Starbucks are doomed
I wonder what will happen to those who use starbucks and the wifi as their office?
....and don’t shower before you go.
And ask the person behind the counter if they have free needles and condoms, just for the fun of it.
Or, both.
We havent been allowed to change our bathroom codes since April. So almost all the junkies and homeless people know the code now. About once a week we find needles, drug baggies, blood all over the toilet or walls.- alleged anonymous #Starbucks employee https://t.co/Ka4QAGbFFi— James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) May 22, 2018
Don't brush your teeth or spit in the muslim foot bath.
