Starbucks has already backtracked on the loitering and bathroom use issues, so it is not clear how this bias training will help on those matters. It seems like an unsolvable problem. Starbucks wants to be a welcoming "third place," but how are store employees to deal with those who take advantage or disrupt the "third place" concept for others? On top of all that, the stores are still meant to turn a profit, so you must still attract enough paying customers who feel that they are getting a quality and comfortable experience in the store for the money they spend.

Others welcome the training.

I'll bet they do.

If a company run by Leftists opts to shut down their business to conduct some sort of buy-ass training well, that’s their call.

Talk about overkill

And bias. You think any white people will be used as “victims’ in their ‘hypotheticals”?

Even though they constitute the overwhelming majority of customers

Now,I’m afraid to order a flat WHITE!

Will employees be offered free tattoo / piercing removals?

[Sooth2222]

But then where will the homeless people who live there go?

[mewzilla]

Haz mat training would be a better idea.

I have a preview:

“Ahem class.

“Please look over here:” (points to picture of a white guy).

Everyone repeat after me: BBBBAAAADDDDD

“Please look over here:” (points to a picture of Black Panthers, MS-13 members, bondage trannies/gays).

“Everyone repeat after me: GOOOOOOOOOOOD

“Once again (points at white): BBBAAAAADDD
“And (points at others): GOOOOOOOOOOOD

“Training is now over.”

Anyone who has been through enforced reeducation “diversity training” knows I am NOT exaggerating.

I thought Starbucks was already more than adequately biased.

Why would they need more bias?

[Starboard]

Starbucks is becoming to be perceived as Bathrooms, Bandwidth and Bums. Triple B. Not a great corporate image.

Its only a matter of time before there are demands from their “customers” for free food.

I say keep dumping the homeless at their shops. Let’s make sure these lessons are well learned.

[Caipirabob]

It may even be worth it to buy a stack of five dollar Starbucks gift cards and pass them out to the homeless you see at the stop lights. Just because, F@ U lefties!

They can have their burnt-tasting expensive coffee.

In the summer, I much prefer McAfee ice coffee at McDonalds.

It tastes good and is very inexpensive, unlike Starsucks.

[Jane Long]

I love reminding my millennial family/friends.....

The restroom your BARISTA - who MAKES YOUR LATTE - uses, is the SAME ONE the homeless/druggies use.

Keep that in mind, the next time they say they want to stop by StarYUCKs.

[Qiviut]

The beginning of the end for Starbucks. Capitulation to the forces on the politically correct/SJW/Progressive side of the ledger is not a positive move - give these Leftist goons an inch, they take a mile and no amount of bowing and scraping is ever enough for them. Meanwhile, you alienate whatever “normie” portion of your customer base that exists. Lose - lose.

“StarBugs” needs to do a lot of house cleaning before they look like a financially viable American company.

[grania]

It seems like an unsolvable problem

They got caught as the unintended elitists they are. The rules about bathroom use should've been posted and enforced at all times. I've NEVER liked the "holier than thou" attitude of Starbucks, about everything.

Those two guys found a weakness and exploited it. Fact is, if they needed to use a bathroom, many places such as McD's have bathrooms accessible to all. Or they could've ordered a small cup of coffee.
