Starbucks baristas have found themselves at the center of another race debate.
One year after Starbucks' failed "race together" campaign that encouraged baristas to discuss racial tension with customers, employees are now being encouraged to shout "black lives matter" in stores.

So they’ve just increased prices massively and now are shouting divisive political slogans in the stores. Is the CEO trying to bankrupt the company???
Clever!
Did they issue brown shirts and arm bands to the staff?
Henceforth, I’ll be giving my name as IseeDumbPeople.
Same here. . .but I will encourage others not to buy their products either on site, in store, or on the internet. Starbucks may go the way of Target over this if the word gets out.
Watch out! There’s a cop !
My husband and I love coffee but despise Starbucks. We’re finding a lot of hotels now have a Starbucks cafe as their go to place for breakfast. UGH!
I’ve been to Starbucks about twice since they opened and have felt embarrassed each time by just being there. I don’t quite know what it is about the place, maybe it’s just the silliness of their whole concept.
What IS it about successful, leftist businesses? When they get too successful, does their White Guilt or White Privilege Gene kick in and they self-sabotage?

I have this discussion with a Lib friend all the time:
WHAT is considered TOO MUCH? WHAT is the Magic Number for cash that makes one TOO successful?
Why is it not WRONG that you constantly covet another person’s wealth/success and wish to see them fail?
Does it ever occur to you, that YOU, a white, middle-class moron is viewed as a Wealthy & Successful person by 95% of the rest of the population?
And why don’t you think YOU should give away your wealth, or at least share your home with a few bums off the streets?
*Crickets Chirping*
This “black lives matter” nonsense just keeps the racial divide going. All lives matter. Besides, if black lives matter, does that count all the aborted black babies that the government funds?
They don’t sell coffee. They sell sugary flavored drinks with a dash of coffee.
Another reason to be glad I never was addicted to their coffee.
BLM — Baristas Looking Moronic
This time, however, it’s customers — not the company — that are encouraging baristas to get involved.
I’ll continue to encourage my $$$ go anywhere but Starbucks.
The best refrain to that is “all lives matter”
Abortion Is Murder. Yep, that’s my name.
Meanwhile other people are being fired for criticizing BLM.
This is the latest liberal totalitarian demand—support our hate group or else.
I would hope nobody is startled enough to throw burning coffee in their faces.
