All eyes are on Starbucks. And not because its rolling out a new caffeinated drink.
Tomorrow Starbucks is shutting down its more than 8,000 locations across the county to conduct racial bias training for its 175,000 employees.
Some critics, mainly on social media, see it as political correctness gone too far. Others welcome the training.
It comes nearly seven weeks after two black men waiting at a Starbucks in Philadelphia were arrested when a store manager called the police.
Since their April 12 arrest, Rashon Nelson and Donte Robinson have reached a settlement with the city: A payment of $1 to each in exchange for the creation of a $200,000 fund to help young entrepreneurs in Philadelphia.
Starbucks has experienced a backlash of criticism and calls for a boycott. Earlier this month, it announced a new policy that allows anyone to use its spaces, including restrooms, cafes and patios, regardless of whether they make a purchase. Company executives said its previous policies were loose and ambiguous, leaving decisions on whether people could sit in its stores or use the restroom up to store managers.

Which implies 100% of their staff need it.
Where are they finding these racist bigots?
Don’t worry, if you live up here you know the liberals in Seattle’s King County will get the state to declare a new tax and make the funds available to create an addition to EBT. Then the perps can get the ones that others don’t use as they do not drink coffee, and they can stay there all day getting free coffee and muffins.
And just as soon as they get a locked bathroom door where two consenting adults can play tickle and scratch or one or more can shoot up leaving junk behind, they can explain that one to the tax payers. Places will look like the south side of Chicago.
But it will eliminate the need for a change fund as no one with money will go there. They’ll be at Duncan Donuts or Tully’s.

Seems to me that the trespassers needed some anti-bias training, not Starbucks.
“Bias Training” = Teaching their Employees to be Leftists, like they already aren’t. LOL
Starbucks has already backtracked on the loitering and bathroom use issues, ...
+++++++++++
I have yet to see a single news report on any Starbucks backtracking.
And Ive been watching for such reports since it seems obvious that Starbucks would have to abandon their stupid policy in some problem locations at a minimum.
Can you point me to a news source?
Please, stay closed.
Starbucks management = a breed of Wimpus Americanus Apologiticus.
I’ll have to watch them make my coffee closely, but my Starbucks name is Beaner Trump.
“Starbucks has experienced a backlash of criticism and calls for a boycott.”
Like you, if conservatives don’t like a company they don’t go there. They don’t try to force others to do the same and try to destroy the business. That’s what liberals do. The so-called tolerant group :-)
So it’s ironic, and hysterical, that Starbucks is getting a bit of its own medicine.
“If/When Whites become the Minority, the Brown/Black Majority will treat Whites with ZERO respect.”
I never got any perks for being in the minority in California or Texas.
Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw a few years back:
"Instead of trying to save the planet, try using your turn signal for a change."
If a black guy come up and say’s give me all of da money GIVE HIM ALL OF DA MONEY.

The NUMBER ONE destination for America’s HOMELESS is now STARBUCK’S.
Starbuck$ is a liberal establishment. Meaning, totally biased and full of hatred to all things not liberal.
I see things have changed since Woody Guthrie.
Thanks for the update.
My former coworker as a child was in a family of Mexicans all of whom had to fill flats each day picking berries here in Michigan. He grew up to work with me after doing that funny thing of going through proper citizenship processes. He said the methods varied and his theory of the e coli was what I posted.
Thanks for the fresh information.
They will be taught how to hide their hatred for conservatives, whites, Christians and Jews, straights...
“Thanks for the fresh information.”
I think the biggest problem we face with produce, fish, and seafood, is the stuff that comes from foreign countries. The Mexicans and the Asians will do pretty much anything to make a buck, even if it endangers the health of their customers. Growing vegetables in soil that’s got properly treated amendments in it is fine. The problem is that in some places, they use untreated sewage. Ditto for seafood, and particularly shellfish, because they “capture” chemicals in the waters in which they are grown. I wouldn’t eat an oyster that wasn’t raised here for anything. Remember when the Chinese mixed melamine in their export dog food, and it killed a bunch of our pets? Or when they sent us drywall that had so much formaldehyde in it that it had to be completely removed from literally thousands of homes, because it was such an acute health hazard? NIce of them to be making a buck off of us while they kill us!
I would make a statement if one
of their patrons walked in wearing
a hazmat suit, except it would be
difficult to drink a cup of coffee.
