"partner with the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis to provide on-site job training for young people"
WHY would Starbucks "need" to partner with the urban league for training?
Pretty sure you can get a job with Starbucks and get training, no matter how disadvantaged you are.
And train for what, exactly? To be a barista your whole life in Ferguson?
Not a great long-term career path.

What a shame that Michael Brown won't be around to rob them, although I'm sure there's plenty more to take his place.

Thankfully, the closest one to me is 4 towns over and it’s a pain to get to with no access to the main road. Not that I’ve ever bought coffee there.
