Starbucks CEO Blames Woke Officials For 16 Store Closures In Dangerous Cities

Starbucks CEO Blames Woke Elected Officials For 16 Store Closures In Dangerous Cities
LINK
Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz placed blame on woke elected officials in Democrat-run cities for the abrupt closure of 16 stores located primarily on the West Coast.
On Tuesday, The Wall Street Journal was the first to report that six locations each will shut down in Seattle and Los Angeles, in addition to two in Portland, Ore., one in Philadelphia, and one in Washington, D.C., by August. The company cited repeated safety incidents behind its decision.
Leaked footage of Schultz at an internal meeting, published by The Post Millennial’s Ari Hoffman on Thursday, revealed the coffee-chain executive blaming elected officials for an environment in which it’s too hostile to operate.
“In my view at the local, state, and federal level, these governments across the country and leaders, mayors, and governors and city councils have abdicated their responsibility in fighting crime and addressing mental illness,” said Schultz, who returned to the company as chief executive in April. “We are going to have to refine and transform and modernize many of the things we do to meet the needs of our customers in a very changing operating environment in which customer behavior is changing.”

This just in: Democrat blames other Democrat when Democrat policies voted for by Democrat inevitably fails.

Well, he’s not wrong.
Problem is that Starbucks also made their own bed by doing some of the shite they have done such as not requiring that bathrooms only be used by customers. So they end up with homeless people camped out there not buying an overpriced half caff triple espresso decaf soy milk pumpkin spice chai latte with extra foam and chasing off the people who do buy their overpriced shite.

I'm pretty sure Starbucks was all in with all the woke bullshite these last few years. Sounds like they bought the ticket and now they gotta take the ride.

Hasn't he been a huge donor and advocate for these same politicians?

That's rich coming from the guy who is cool with homeless people coming in to use their restrooms and sit at their tables thereby denying a paying customer a table.

He's missing the point. He needs to focus on pronouns and misgendering. As soon as we start using the correct pronouns for everyone, we should start getting the crime situation under control.

No way this idiot didn't have his corp donate to the same politicians that are destroying his business. Left wing hypocrisy continues.

For these sixteen stores, there's probably 5-10 times that many across places like Walker for example that don't have these issues to this extent. So their strategy makes sense.

Starbucks has a point to prove: There’s more to the company than selling $4 lattes to rich people.
The Seattle-based coffee giant that has cultivated a reputation for being socially responsible said Thursday it is expanding its effort to put more coffee shops — and create more jobs — in poor neighborhoods.

Guess that didn't work out so well.
