Boycott Starbucks is now trending

quote:

An internal memo sent to Starbucks employees last week specifically warned staffers against wearing accessories or clothes bearing messages in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

The memo, obtained by BuzzFeed News, reminds staffers that such messages are prohibited under the company's policy against accessories that "advocated a political, religious or personal issue."

Numerous employees told the news outlet, however, that the company regularly allows or even encourages employees to wear pins in support of LGBTQ equality, especially during Pride Month every June.

"Starbucks LGBTQ+ partners wear LGBTQ+ pins and shirts, that also could incite and create violent experiences amongst partners and customers," one black transgender employee of the coffee chain told BuzzFeed. "We have partners who experienced harassment and transphobia/homophobia for wearing their pins and shirts, and Starbucks still stands behind them."

That's another example of really not understanding your customer base.

They will apologize very soon from white guilt. They will bend the knee.

Well I didn’t see that one coming. I could have seen Starbucks to force employees to bow to every Black person who enters their establishment and apologize for being White before I saw them banning employees from wearing anything supporting BLM...

They just announced they were closing a bunch of stores.
They realize who is really buying $7.00 cups of coffee.
