Remember those dumb "Conversations about Race" a few years back?

Imagine working for a company that makes decisions solely on current SJW fashion and listening to whomever howls the loudest on Social Media. This is no way to run a business.

Chicken with it's head cut off, I hope this costs Starbucks, BIG. This is what you get for acting out, taking sides on Social trends.

Dumb asses.

Couldn’t agree more. If those were two white women dressed in business attire they certainly would have been arrested too.

If they were asked to leave and didn't, of course they would be.

See, attitudes like yours are part of the problem.
You pretend that others just aren't as tolerant as you are.

News flash, Blacks can be a-holes. Pretending that it's always racism is just ignorance. --virtue-signaling ignorance.

Hey Rick What do you think of Diamond and Silk being kicked off Facebook?

I don't remember your snark about that.

What Starbucks really needs: MORE THAN ONE BATHROOM. Most that I've been in, have only 1 bathroom. Who makes a COFFEE joint with only one unisex bathroom? These days they need a minimum of three: male, female, other.

Apparently, the older Porsche owners figured out that if they didn't pay $5-9 per day for coffee and a treat they would be able to pay for a Porsche.

Not true! They heavily in a political agenda

Although they didn't ban guns, they made it clear that people who carry are not welcome. They have hitched their wagon to those who want to repeal the 2nd amendment.

Yet another reason to not give them money to put political pressure to destroy America:

Quote:
Starbucks Corp Chief Executive Officer Howard Schultz said on Sunday that the company planned to hire 10,000 refugees over five years in 75 countries, two days after U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive order banning refugees from certain countries.

Trump on Friday put a four-month hold on allowing refugees into the United States and temporarily barred travelers from Syria and six other Muslim-majority countries, saying the moves would help protect Americans from terrorist attacks.
Apparently, the safety of our nation is not very important to Starbucks.

Bottom line: Tell me why I should buy their products so that they can use the profits to destroy my country? Do they have the right to do these things? Yes. I would defend to the death their rights to their opinions but I will not help them.

From your article:

"At this point we'll sit and monitor the situation," says Schultz. "We're hoping that most people will honor the request." But even if gun-carrying customers don't honor the request, says Schultz, "We'll serve them with a smile and not confront them."

They asked people to leave their guns home, whether it was legal for them to carry or not. Their position was made quite clear, and was the subject of some discussion when this happened a few years ago

At least the fun little thread made it 4 full pages before it became a freaking political event.

yeah, nothing political about an OP promulgating for a boycott that recently stared up over trumped up racism charges

What a mess ...
All this over not allowing non-customers to use the bathroom?
Here it is perfectly normal NOT to (be allowed to) use the bathroom if you are NOT a customer. Nobody making a fuss over that. Everyone understands that and does not bother anyone.
