LOL

Probably won't be the worst thing corporate-wide to close for a day and offer fun paid training for their staff. They can cover tons more than "racial sensitivity" and can probably give out prizes, etc. to improve morale.

Chick Fil-A closes at least 52 more days per year than Starbucks and still thrives. This is probably a win-win-win for Starbucks.

This is nothing more than political indoctrination as a term of employment.

I wonder if Howard Schultz is now rethinking his previous push for his employees to “start a conversation about race”.

I enjoy ordering a "tall hot blonde" at Starbucks in my best Buffalo Bill voice ... and then acting all disappointed when I get the cup.

Then, I say, "Well ... at a minimum, can I at least get a grande hot blonde?"



The more fricked up SJWish the barista ... the more that I frick with them.

AND NO TIP. EVER. frick'EM. Unless it is a young, hot, normal lookin' bitch.

Yeah, I already posted about my options.
BTW, when Schultz did his 'conversation about race' thing, I asked the black manager of my SB why we weren't having any conversations about race.

She said that it was put up for vote at each SB. Staff at mine voted unanimously not to participate.

Basically they're going to extend their "free water and free puppuccinos" to "free letting homeless people shite messily in the gender neutral restrooms".

Your only options were alternate Starbucks. It seems this is covering EVERY store. You're shite out of luck, bro.

This is essentially what happened in Milwaukee after the Starbucks employees called the police on Dontre Hamilton and he wound up dead. From then on the cops in MKE did frick all about black homeless people. They literally sleep on the street with actual shite showing through their pants, scaring suburban families and children, and cops won't do anything.

The only saving grace is that it's such brutal weather in MKE that they're only a problem for like 5 months of the year.

Good luck with that. There's a reason PT74 does his hunting at Starbucks.

The great RooshV wrote an entire book about picking up girls at coffee shops back in the heyday of game.

How to pick up girls in a coffee shop

I remember his (then) excellent book "Day Bang" actually had a birds-eye blueprint of a typical coffeeshop setup, and he showed you where to set to have the best traffic and opportunity to pick up on chicks.

A good idea from the OT thread on this.

Latarvis, now is your moment.

Take a step back and look how ridiculous the SJW world has gotten.

One of the largest and most powerful franchises in the world is closing down for a day because 2 black dudes got arrested for breaking the law.

Seriously, how can even people on the left defend this with a straight face?
