Starbucks baristas may not be writing “Race Together” on customers’ coffee cups anymore, but CEO Howard Schultz certainly isn’t done talking about the nation’s touchiest topic.

You nailed it. I am a shareholder of SBUX stock and this pisses me off immensely.
Howard usually has good business sense....this is one of those ideas you can see as a loser a mile away. If Howard wants to open a store in Ferguson, let him use his own effing money.

The baristas should get combat pay.

Schultz said that the coffee chain will open a store in what has been an epicenter of racial tension in the U.S., one month after unveiling its controversial Race Together campaign. There is only one reason why he is doing this and why he is publicizing this.
You heard it here first. He's going to run for office soon.

Actually, the baristas should have a militia posted outside. That is the only way to allow businesses to grow in these depressed areas — protect them against the criminals.

"He will take the monetary loss to show how compassionate he is." Does Starbucks own all their stores, or are they franchises?

He’ll have it for the same reason there’s a WNBA- keep the activists off your back, plus a huge writeoff.
"Whenever Starbucks ultimately open its store in Ferguson, a city that’s 70% black, the location will counter the heavy concentration of Starbucks locations in predominantly white neighborhoods. By crunching Census figures and a dataset of 11,500 Starbucks locations in the United States as of August 2014, Quartz determined that the density of Starbucks stores increases along with the whiteness of census tracts." "Let's race together", eh Shultzie?
