Starbucks baristas are being encouraged to shout 'black lives matter' in stores

[N. Theknow]

If I ever went to a Starbucks and heard this I would shout back, “And your life doesn’t!”

[Huskrrrr]

Peets coffee in the bay area serves better coffee. My Bible study small group has met there for years.

[Original Lurker]

Awful coffee for people who think they know good coffee.

[oblomov]

When they say “Black Lives Matter”, will they be referring to the crickets someone has inconspicuously released in the store?

Or will they attempt to stomp and otherwise exterminate the crickets before they can breed?

[Tupelo]

Well that does it.
I am not going to Starbucks again.

Wait. I have not been to Starbucks but once.
I went in and ordered a cup of coffee. I don’t know
what they gave me, but it sure as Hell was not coffee.
And they charged me something like $5.00 for the swill.

Cute campaign. If these BLM losers expended as much energy in gainful employment, most of their problems would go away.

[Covenantor]

Why that ought to fill the batistas tip jar right nice.

[CaptainAmiigaf]

Agree 110%, but am puzzled. Deliberately settout out to really OFFEND customers and potential customers sounds like a sure way to commit BUSINESS SUICIDE.

Wow...lots of unusual psychology on display here.

Fascinating to watch, from a safe distance, of course, and try to understand.

Strange days, indeed. What to make of it?

With this on the stove and the milk foamer my daughter gave my wife for her birthday on the counter I don't need no stinkin' Starbuck's. Besides, I've been to Italy and had the real thing. No comparison.

[Cubs Fan]

Meanwhile other people are being fired for criticizing BLM.

This is the latest liberal totalitarian demand—support our hate group or else.

[Cementjungle]

I don’t do Starbucks... never have. Overpriced, liberal run places aren’t my choice.

[Mollypitcher1]

Why is this company still in business??????????

I wouldn’t go to a Starbucks if everything were free!

[Salamander]

FRY MUMIA! would be a good one, too.

[pb929]

From now on my name will be Mike Hunt.

I wonder if all these idiots pushing the BLM crap even realize they are associating themselves with a radical group which will cause a huge backlash, cost them the election and make them all look like fools in the end.

[JBW1949]

Went to a Starbucks one time...Asked for a coffee...The pencil necked little geek asked, “What flavor?”

I said, “Coffee...”

He said, “What do you want in it?”

I said, “Coffee...”

He said, “You...You mean...You just want plain coffee?”

I turned and left....

[SparkyBass]

I would stop going there... if I went there.
Charbucks sucks.

[dfwgator]

BLM are the new Red Guards.

[MUDDOG]

Cold Stone Creamery to sing “George Jackson”?

[vette6387]

Starbucks “coffee” is simply “hot Panther whizz!” I'd rather forgo a cup of coffee than buy it at a Starbucks. And when you add in their CEO (Schwartz) trying to use the company as his private political megaphone, it really becomes a bummer of a business.
