Maybe he could get a friend to open a Rolls dealership there, too. Makes about as much sense.

OR thanks to Starbucks, Ferguson takes off yuppie-style like Washington DC, so all the black families who’ve lived there for generations are forced out ‘cause they can no longer afford to live there. Not sure these do-gooders can see past their own glorious noses.

They will be claiming ‘plumbing problems’ just like Walmart when they need to close the place down.

They want the business to “invest in the community”; that means straight-up cash payments to black people. They often can’t work the simplest jobs, and see these stores as places where black people spend money that ends up in white peoples’ pockets. The fact that the money often comes from white taxpayers to begin with isn’t mentioned...

“The brothers aren’t too down for coffee, let alone $4

But, I bet they’re up for shoplifting some good biscotti, and roughing up a barista.

The behind the scenes payoff - okay. I should have known.

This appears to be a cheap publicity stunt. Starbucks had built a store in the shopping plaza that was used as the command center during the Ferguson riots. The building is now being used by Burger King. If Starbucks does build a store in Ferguson, their best bet would probably be a location with easy access to the Interstate that runs through the northern edge of the city.
