Starbucks has very good coffee (well, depending on the brew you pick - but it’s usually fresh, except for a few sub-par shops). I buy the K-cups of French roast and Verona for home use.
Some of the stores in NYC are sort of horrible (hostile staff, stale pastries) and some are nice, so you have to know which one is okay.
But after this “Race Together” thing, I honestly think I’ll be avoiding the shops. Who wants to go in to get a cup of coffee and have the staff start talking about “race” when all you really want to do is get a cup of coffee and go to work or maybe go sit down and read the paper.
Plus, how is this going to affect the service? We all have to stand and wait while some twit “explains race” to the customer in front of us?

And I have a feeling that Starbucks is training their employees to render the liberal view of Ferguson and other racial matters. So you will have to listen to a liberal lecture. I can see service slow way down, if anyone more conservative wants to argue the talking points being spewed forth from Starbucks workers.
I went into a Starbucks inside a Fry’s grocery store yesterday and asked the lady in back of the counter if she was going to lecture me on race. She had no idea what I was talking about. This race thing sounds like a flash in the pan. These food stores are very practical and know if they started to get into politics their business would evaporate.
