Where was the racism in telling non-customers ‘no’?

[a fool in paradise]

So he’s saying it is Trump’s fault that Starbucks had racist staff?

[rktman]

I suppose it’s “implied” that had they been white they would not have been asked to leave and eventually arrested. Guess someone is a mind reader and intuited what the manager on duty was thinking. The absurdity is absurd.

You might want to check with the cheese cake factory on that. LOL!

Al ‘Jew them down’ Sharpton is an antisemitic hatefilled bigot and not someone looking to close any racial divide.

The fires of racism are what have made Al Sharpton a rich man for 35+ years.

Well, there’s always dollar store ‘sushiii’.

>>Schultz told us not to go to his stores if you were a Christian.

Doesn’t have to bake the damn cake and keep his bigotry to himself?

Wow.

I didn’t think it was even possible to become more militantly anti-Starbucks-anything than I currently am.

Speaking for myself, I sure was wrong there.

[rktman]

LOL! May their stores actually.......... Never mind. I could get myself in trouble there.

Howard Schultz is my hero.

All these years Schultz has provided liberal elites with a 'safe place' to have their utopian ideas.

Yep, liberals could sip their nine dollar coffees and wax on about the need for 'more compassion' for the homeless, drug addicts, violent black gangs and MS13 - all from the safety of a place NONE of those groups could afford to hang out in...

Howard Schultz is taking that away from liberal 'elites'...

Starbucks was the restaurant /coffee house version of a liberal elite gated community. McDonalds coffee was always better ... and cheaper... but the 'riff raff' hangs out at McDonalds... some of the real 'homeless'...thuggy gang members after midnight... realty might sink in. Nope that would never do... better to pay nine bucks for a cup of coffee to allow a safe place for delusions...

So, Howard Schultz is my hero.

He never understood why liberal elites paid extra for overpriced coffee ... now he'll find out...

[rlmorel]

I think I can pretty much go right along with those sentiments you gave a nod to there...

[Sivad]

Excellent post!

“Schultz told us not to go to his stores if you were a Christian.”

One cup was all it took to know their ‘coffee’ is not for me - so I’m not a customer.

But if business crashes, he should think back to that statement as possibly the beginning of the end.

I’d rather buy a $1.00 candy bar from a gas station and know the bathroom is clean then to use one that any person off the street can use.

Fair point. Difficult in urban areas.

Starbucks' CEO is essentially telling half the country that they're not welcome in his stores.

If you're a Trump supporter, you can't read this any other way.

[rktman]

If you are a Trump supporter you're lucky if you can read. 😹

Starbucks already got the money, so someone should redeem the card for some product. Give the card to the next bum you see.

Howie looking for a scapegoat. I don’t remember Trump saying a word about Starbuck’s fiasco.
