I’m in a small coastal town and heard about a pistol left on the changing table and blood spurted on the bathroom walls. That, and ODs in the parking lot. There was a recent rash of fentanyl overdoses, at least one fatal.

Does anyone know what location in DC is closing? I’ve done some quick searching but can’t find anything.

Will this be part of the “race conversation” that baristas were supposed to be forcing on customers?

That must be why the cost of my starbuck's whole bean french roast spiked
an addition three bucks per nineteen-ounce bag.

This does not sound like a good Woke move. When are the Woke meisters going to campaign against Starbucks?

These closures will disproportionately affect blacks, hispanics, women, lgbt, and purple haired martians. Plus where are the homeless going to go pee??

Yes, I wondered how that race conversation business was supposed to work out? Were you supposed to discuss George Floyd with the coffee servers, or turn to the person in line behind you and discuss affirmative action? I never understood what was supposed to happen.

After the Rodney King riots, my woke company opened a store in SC LA. The store was such a problem that we had to change all the management reports to omit it.

“,,,two in Portland Ore,,,”

But they are rearranging the chairs in Portland government. Evidently Starbucks doesn’t think that will work.

I suspect this has more to do with unions than crime.

I've seen a few Dunkin Donuts open up in the area (NYC) with that same setup. Drive-through or walk-up only. No public restrooms or public seating.

Can't say I blame them as the Democrat-controlled urban areas are overrun with thugs and homeless. Can't have nice things in those areas.

“some customers”, “certain locations”! Damn racist dog whistling is what that kind of talk is. Starbucks, leaving “some customers” because they’re different from Starbucks riff raffaphobes. My, my, my.

Starbucks is not noted for serving black coffee...

To be fair, that may just have been a regular customer who ate there too often. :P

I thought starbux was committed to equality - by supporting all sorts of leftist causes. Why doesn’t it just allow the democrats’ underclass to waltz right in and order anything they want without paying for it? Obviously normal Americans would be paying triple but that’s all in the name of compensating the oppressed for the oppression of those eeevvil Americans.
