[ I don’t need some lower barista with a useless [Blank] Studies degree lecturing me. ]

WOW, you HIT upon something BIG!

The Starbucks CEO FINALLY found a way for the Baristas to use their useless sociology degrees!!!!

Right, it’s mostly (employees) white girls around 25-30 years old.

I saw a black girl once in there but they kept her away from the customers. She was wringing out a mop or something

Starbucks? Who still goes there and gets suckered into $7 coffee? I can’t say anyone I know goes there anymore.

If someone tries to engage me in a conversation on race, I have my standard answer: “ I don’t deal with issues on race, I deal with people as individuals. Take your race based arguments elsewhere.”

That's why a large number of folks not only detest the coffee and being hassled by the barristers but say StarSucks for the name of the firm.

I wonder how Schultz reconciles his idea for improving race relations which conflicts directly with the objectives of his political heroes — obama, Holder, et al. — who thrive on racism and racial strife.

How about just learn to make coffee. Coffee that doesn’t taste like you made it last week and filtered it through a dirty sock.

Sorry. I don't go to Starbucks to be harangued about "race relations". If you're going to push that in my face, I have plenty of better, less expensive places to go.

Sheesh. Talk about playing with fire. I got into a discussion with a Starbucks Barista while an anti-war demonstration was going on outside. I cancelled my order (before I’d paid for it). I never went back there.
