What? Never heard that. Seriously?
I know women workers in stores in Somali areas. Yes, it is that way. Somali immigrant women will squat and pee anywhere, even in a store aisle. Third world nasty.
Really? The comments you made is hurting sales? That and your coffee is non drinkable, and no free refills...and most important, overpriced.
I took the CEO's comment at the time as a finger to the chest. I am so much better than you deplorable republicans. Most of the refugees will never work unless they learn the language of their host country. Even then it is doubtful. My guess is the ones that obtain legal status, will just collect benefits. If your collecting benefits, why work at Starbucks? I haven't boycotted Starbucks completely. They are just last on the list now.
