Starbucks baristas have found themselves at the center of another race debate.
One year after Starbucks' failed "race together" campaign that encouraged baristas to discuss racial tension with customers, employees are now being encouraged to shout "black lives matter" in stores.

Damn. They’re building a new Dunkin’ Donuts by me. Guess I’ll go there.

What’s the relationship between the CEO and Soros?
Educate your daughter!
I would give ANYTHING to be able to do so. Sadly she passed away last November. No apologies necessary. No way you could have known.
Now there's an idea there. When they shout "Black Lives Matter" in Starbucks, shout back "Allah Akbar, White Lives Splatter!" and then say "You people are nuts! Ignoring the real problem.".
Idiots.
People who use milk/cream and sugar don’t like the taste of coffee.
Some doofus customer is promoting this (by using the name “black lives matters” for his order so that this will be called out when the order is ready). Corporate Starbucks isn’t promoting this.
This thread should be taken down. On a site where hardly anyone reads the article before commenting, the headline leads us to believe Starbucks is doing this. It is partly the publisher’s fault for printing a misleading headline, but let’s not be a party to deception.
Guys, did any of you read the article. This is NOT an official Starbucks directive. It’s the customers giving the group name as their name.
Now why should anyone read the article when they can just jump to conclusions that this is a Starbucks’ corporate directive rather than a few a-hole customers with an agenda of their own, or even advocate that cups of scalding hot coffee should be thrown at the barista’s head even though they are not doing anything wrong if that is the name the customer gives them. Hey if I tell the Baristsa that my name is Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton or Queen Elizabeth, they may look at me strangely but probably do not care. They are just trying to make a living. Never worked as a Barista but I have worked in retail. And some customers are complete a$$wholes and some have been downright scary. You just try to do your job, be polite to everyone and go home at the end of your shift and collect a paycheck at the end of the week.
I’ve got a never used Starbucks gift card in my wallet.
I refuse to use their stupid words for large and small.
The few times I’ve been there, I order a medium coffee. They seem put off. I don’t care.
Amen. Starbucks coffee tastes like burnt ass. I can buy 4 cups of superior coffee at the gas station across the street, for what I would pay for 1 cup of starbucks.
Stupid public....go ahead change your name to black lives matter....they will beat you too
I get their K-cup Major Dickerson dark roast. Best dark roast!
What foolishness.
Only if you want 'special ingredients' added to your food before it reaches the table.

White Lives Splatter! Down with the white cis patriarchy.
It works best if you are clearly a member of the white cis patriarchy.
Well the answer, of course, is "All of it."
As long as liberal are spending other people's money, they'll give and give until it's all gone. They've no skin in the game, and handing out your money assuages their guilt.
Exactly
Exactly.
Not to me they won’t as I never patronize that franchise....never!
The CEO previously said that he didn’t want business from anyone who didn’t support gay marriage. I acceded to his wishes.
