Starbucks (SBUX) announced on Friday it would allow employees to wear apparel in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, bowing to an intense social media campaign even as the company moves to crank out over 250,000 specialty shirts of its own.
This week, Starbucks was hit with online backlash and renewed calls for a boycott, following reports that it has banned employees from wearing pins and t-shirts at work in support of Black Lives Matter protests.

To address the issue, Starbucks is planning to crank out hundreds of thousands of apparel items in support of a movement demanding change — but will also let its employees wear their own gear immediately.

we’re designing new t-shirts with the graphic below to demonstrate our allyship and show we stand together in unity,” Starbucks executives wrote in a letter to employees entitled “Standing together against racial injustice.”

If they would have just been quiet from the beginning it wouldn’t have been a thing. They kind of brought this on themselves.

I have about $20k Sbux in my portfolio. I don’t give a shite what they do as long as they make money.

Doesn't matter to me because I don't purchase $7 coffee.

Like I needed yet another reason to never patronize Starbucks.

Dumb move. Republicans buy shite coffee too!

I’m actually shocked they’re still planning to charge black people.
