Starbucks said Friday that the chain would allow workers to wear attire and accessories highlighting the Black Lives Matter movement, reversing its prior stance after social media users called for boycotts of the company.
Buzzfeed first reported on Wednesday that the coffee chain would not allow its employees to wear Black Lives Matter clothing or accessories, and management justified the decision by saying that such items could be misunderstood and incite violence. While Starbucks has a policy against wearing personal, political or religious clothing or accessories, workers told Buzzfeed that the company hands out buttons and attire celebrating LGBTQ rights and marriage equality

Only drank their coffee when somebody gave it to me. Don’t like it either. Stupid fad that became a habit for so many. Good to see them waste their money. Confirms how many stupid people there are.

Cowards. Who? The company for taking the easy route, or the people who keep propping up this company by buying its products? Both?

Yesterday I drove by a house with a couple of “Black Lives Matter” signs in their front yard.
It’s a cancer.

Good to see that Starbucks has caved on their dress policy. So now I can wear my favorite shirt for my Starbucks job interview tomorrow.

RE:”

They don't give a crap about BLM and they don't like the idea of what the protesters are doing.

This was beyond predictable. I knew from the first moment that this was going to happen.

As predicted and didn’t take long. There’s still the matter of a million dollar donation to BLM that should be forthcoming.

From what I understand...they HATE for you to order a regular black coffee.That is what I ordered in my one and only visit to a Starbucks years ago. They were flustered that I only wanted black coffee. But that is the only kind I drink.

Which is what I drink.
I found theirs too bitter.
Coffee should have sweet taste to it without sweetener, like McDs is.
