Pizza delivery in rough neighborhoods don’t go well either.

Women and minorities will be hardest hit living in deserts where they have no access to severely overpriced krap coffee

The three S bucks locations that they are closing in L.A , I know very well. The one on Hollywood / Vine is at an intersection that has been “violated” by riots and burglaries.

The only Starbucks location that I know are “safe” are the ones INSIDE grocery chains like Vons or Target.

Cowards!

Stay there and hand out hundred dollar bills.

Food deserts.

So after people who didn’t pay money as customers demanded use of the bathroom or they’d take to social media screaming ‘racism!’ Starbucks now is closing all these business locations - putting people out of work and costing them millions.

Rather than enforce a reasonable policy - bathrooms are for customers - they now have to lose jobs and tax dollars for this area.

Reminds me of a couple years ago there was a gas station that was getting ‘mob shoplifted’ when thuglets were let out of a nearby high school.

So, reasonable solution, though the owners: let’s close the inside of the store for an hour as school lets out and not lose thousands of dollars to shoplifters.

“Community organizers” said this was racist and organized protests.

Owners wound up, you guessed it, closing the business.

Food desert!

Starbucks and Planned Parenthood will soon announce that the locations will be turned into abortion clinics. Coffee will be served.

Didn’t Starbucks support BLM? If so, they got what they paid for.

These people are so stupid. They never examine close enough to see that they caused these problems with liberal policies. They will always do the same thing over and over and think they somehow didn’t do enough of something to prevent or cause something, and never realize they are the cause. These people know nothing about analysis and cause and effect, or choose to ignore it, or simply don’t care and are always lying and playing ignorant on purpose to further their bigger and loftier commie inspired agendas. It goes so deep that even these pawns in the commie agenda don’t even know they are pawns.

This is the reason that "lesser of two evils" candidates like Arnold Schwarzenegger are ultimately extremely harmful. Because people assume they are conservative because they have an (R) next to their name and when they govern as lefties and nothing gets better people assume that "conservatism" doesn't work and even is harmful. As long as the GOP is not a true alternative to the leftist Democrats they cannot make a case for anything but more leftism.

It’s California. Arnold Schwarzenegger was the only Republican who could get elected.

The coffee was too dark.

[SaveFerris]

No kidding.

Who buys their overpriced coffee ☕ anyways?

Last time I was in a Starbucks was 2013 for an informal meeting with a guy from church in Texas. I requested that we go elsewhere and we did. Immediately.

[pepsi_junkie]

I remember sitting in a bar in San Diego at the end of Arnold's tenure and a couple of locals were talking about how badly the "conservative" policies of Schwarzenegger "really f----d up this state" and laughing about how a republican won't be able get elected again for a century.

I don't care about notching victories if it's just numbers on a score card. If it doesn't help advance conservative policies than it's harmful. Schwarzenegger wasn't appreciably different than Jerry Brown. So what was the point in "winning" with him, especially since his lefty policies ended up ruining the brand of conservatism for a generation?

[MinorityRepublican]

I don't think anyone is fooled by Arnold's political party. He is similar to Larry Hogan's brand in Maryland. He's a Republican. But not really. Then again it's Maryland. But every once a while Hogan is good one certain policies and he has a little common sense. So he's much better than a Democrat. And Hogan is the nest you can get from Maryland at this point in time.

I haven't read enough about Arnold's performance in California but I assume he is a little bit better than Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom.

When the mobs steal from local stores, they are stealing from their own communities and ultimately from themselves.
Why don't they see that?
