So he thinks his customers are racist?
Race Together, while others wait in line.
I’ll discuss race with anyone
I’d like to see the barristas wearing hair nets and mouth covering masks if they are going to be talking over my open containers of coffee. Actually, I’d prefer it if the coffee was dispensed by a machine of unknown cleanliness.
Expresso for the ‘rat race.
10. “Divide and govern” is a maxim consecrated by the experience of ages, and should be familiar in its use to every politician as the knife he carries in his pocket. In the work here to be executed, the best effects may be produced by this maxim, and with peculiar facility. An extensive republic made up of lesser republics necessarily contains various sorts of people, distinguished by local and other interests and prejudices.

These people are at work. I would probably be going to work, or coming home from work. They don’t have time to waste on a frivolous conversation and neither would I.
If I ever stopped at a Starbucks. Which I have never done.
I wouldn’t be caught in a Starbucks, their coffee stinks and their prices are outrageous!
What if we were to write “Guns Forever” on the side of the cup?
What if we were to write “Stop the Knockout Game” on the side of the cup?
What if we were to write “Stop Blaming Others” on the side of the cup?
What if we were to write “Secure the Border” on the side of the cup?
What if we were to write “Abortion killed 55 million Americans” on the side of the cup?
What if we were to write “Transparent White House Ends FOIA Requests” on the side of the cup?
What if we were to write “Michelle says this coffee is not good for you” on the side of the cup?
What if we were to write “Hillary Lied, Emails Died” on the side of the cup?
What if we were to write “Six-plus years and Obama still blames Bush for everything” on the side of the cup?
What if we were to write “If your aunt had balls she’d be your uncle” on the side of the cup?
What if we were to write “It’s not a tax except when we argue it’s a tax” on the side of the cup?
I go to a coffee house to buy a cup of coffee, not discuss race, religion, or politics with the kid who takes my $5 for ten cents’ worth of weak beans.
I’d rather discuss tattoo and piercing options - the only subject about which they seem to know anything
I cannot imagine that a barista who probably hasn’t finished college yet is going to add much to my knowledge of race relations. And I would be p*ssed at them wasting my time.
The derision little endeavor of theirs is going to manifest itself into a customer reaction that can be summed up in four words: “Heading to Dunkin’ Donuts.”
I’ve always suspected Starbucks was liberal but now this campaign proves it.
Can we ask them how many stores they operate in predominantly black neighborhoods?

The baristas deserve a HUGE pay raise now, IMO, as their job description has just become way more complex.
Sure. “Uh, could you please pour that into a cup that hasn’t been defaced with obscenities?”
Of course that’s a hypothetical since I haven’t stepped in a SBUX for years because the crapolla espresso shots that come out of their never-calibrated automatic espresso machines aren’t even as good as the insipid coffee made in a home pod machine.
Life is too short to discuss non-existent race issues with pseudo-intellectual, unprepared-for-life. “educated”-by-”studies”-courses millenials.
