When Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz visited Ferguson last year, he saw the still-visible signs of unrest. But he also saw promise, and in July the company announced it would open a location there and partner with a local nonprofit to create job training opportunities.

That is complete fiction. What happened was the CEO went on a holier than thou crusade lecturing people and urging them to have a "conversation about race" He opened his twitter account and recieved not worshipful allocades, but complaints. More than one person noted that there are no Starbucks in Ferguson, MO, so it is hypocritical to lecture others when they don't locate in black neighbohoods. He was shamed into building a store there.

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.

Within six months serious problems with staff and customers. Within 12 months store closes quietly.

In the early days, Starbucks locations needed certain “cool” demographics.

Fast forward.

On a trip to Wyoming a few years ago, I posed the question to my wife: “I wonder if Cheyenne has a Starbucks?”

Sure enough, it had a couple or more. We stopped in one near the capitol, where we saw typical government staffers in their suits, and a guy dressed in all black, carrying on both hips.

I doubt anybody will open carry at Ferguson, but many will probably have their weapons hidden somewhere under their baggy clothes, etc.
