That same rational was used by white businesses for years - an excuse for NOT to hire black citizens. Starbucks is a racist organization BY THEIR OWN STANDARDS...
With a large dollop of creamy white guilty foam...
And some people have lawyers that tell them the lawsuits from employees that get repeatedly held-up at gunpoint may dig into the over-all bottom line.
They've bothered me from the start. They have all these really excellent enlightened free trade sustainable organic grown by workers who aren't enslaved coffee blends. But their merchandise is mostly made in China. Their food isn't healthy....it's manufactured crap, most of it as bad as McDonald's. Their baristas are always engaged in "I'm cool-you're cool" pratter with customers.
And, oh yeah, their coffee tastes awful.
‘Cause only white liberals are dumb enough to overpay for so-so coffee, and none of them live there?

And......? It may have happened and be as you say, but businesses do demographic research and consider many things prior to opening a new location. Not hiring certain folks for specific business reasons may or may not be racist - just like criticizing the President and Holder may or may not be due to racism.
that too
boycott starbucks
starbucks is offensive
