I know people have different tastes, so the store has its fans. A lot of my co-workers swear by Starbucks & come in with their product all the time.

I'm trying to keep my white privilege in check here, but outside of urban centers, and places with a high number of professionals, I don't think I've ever seen a black person in a Starbucks.
WHO does Starbucks think will go to a store in Ferguson, MO?
Very few people of *any* color I'd think.
If I had the opportunity to even be in Missouri, I'd drive through that town as fast as possible.

Scrolling down a bit to the key quote:
The Ferguson location also will partner with the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis to provide on-site job training for young people.
And that is the whole point of this.

It's not half-a**ed coffee.
It's whole a**ed all the way.
