Someone needs to troll Starbucks.

I posted on PoliTalk so "Latarvis" can act on this.

No only that but they chose May 29th which everybody knows is the day Martin Gottfried Weiss, German SS officer and commandant of the Dachau concentration camp died. Are they in mourning?

Goes beyond that, and not in the mens’ favor.

They dared the store to call the police on them then got indignant with the police when they showed up.

That’s a case of “play stupid games win stupid prizes” right there.

SJW: In order to show a commitment to equality and reducing the racial and gender pay gaps, we demand that Starbucks implement price adjustments for those people that are hardest hit by the white male patriarchal system of privilege.

Don’t forget to buy into competitors like CCs and PJs too.

Starbucks fricking up opens the door for the competition to expand.

Let's do some hypothetical math loaded with assumptions.

Starbucks corporate says they are shutting down 8000 stores one afternoon, so training occurs during business hours. They want to put on a show, so let's assume 3 hours of training, 2 to 5. Everybody gets trained.

Since the stores are shut down for the training, they lose that revenue. For easy math, let's say $500 revenue per hour per store lost. So, $500 * 3 hours per store * 8000 stores. $12 million in lost revenue.

Assume all employees from all shifts have to show up for training. Employees show up and expect to be paid while getting trained at once. So, more easy math let's say 20 hourly employees per store at $10 an hour (I said let's keep the math easy). 20 hourly employees * $10 * 3 hours * 8000 stores about $5 or so million in wages for trainees.

Let's lump the cost of getting training together, other productivity lost at the corporate level, and all the costs of virtue signaling, etc. and call it $3 million.

So, $20 million to eject 2 guys who were legitimately loitering. Sound about right?

So two black dudes were just loitering about the store and were asked to leave.

Doesn’t sound like racial bias. Sounds like this ain’t your couch, move it on.



Starbucks is a palace of loitering. It's why people go there.
