Starbucks Percolates more fear than good.

Yeah, this should really help.

STARBUCKS TRAINING: EMPLOYEES FORCED TO WATCH ‘VIDEO AFTER VIDEO’ OF WHITE COPS ATTACKING BLACKS
“At one point a girl at my table actually had to get up and leave because video after video they showed black people being assaulted by police or black people being verbally assaulted and white people being racially biased toward people of color,” a young black female Starbucks employee told Philly Mag after being forced to take part in their “racial sensitivity” training course this week.

Starbucks billed Tuesday’s training as “one step” in addressing racial bias, and national reports have called the company’s move an “important start.” But for two Philadelphia Starbucks employees I talked to, the training merely “targeted” people of color and exacerbated racial tensions.

I spoke with the baristas separately on Tuesday evening after they attended the training at a Sheraton hotel with employees from about four districts in the region. Between 1 p.m. and 7 p.m., they had sat with fellow employees listening to a few presentations, watching a number of videos, journaling, and occasionally talking to colleagues and session leaders in small self-guided groups.

Don't worry, there's little chance of long-term success for a chain of public toilets and flophouses with overpriced coffee kiosks inside.

Look. lets fact it.. the cost of the product of Starbucks functioned like a steep cover charge, to keep the lowly riff raff out. There lonely housewives could catch up with each other after dropping their brood off at pricey private schools, before hitting the gym. The sometimes written but yet often unwritten social agreement that facilities in a business are for the people who are patronizing the business, kept out the unwashed masses. There lexus driving, yoga pants wearing elitists could sip their $6 coffees content with their commitment to addressing the world's problems.. sure they care for the poor - starbucks is fair trade right? And they care for the environment.. starbucks is all about sustainable growing and containers made from recycled materials.. they are doing their part.... to help the world... They could occasionally glance fondly at the young millenial studying or grabbing a cup of coffee between classes and imagine their own little brat one day, going off to college on their dime an a hefty amount of student loans, and stopping in to write thesis or converse with friends, and they were and they could opine about current social justice warrior causes, and discuss the latest pattern for pussy hats while not having to actually mingle with the lesser forms of humanity... It is an illusion that is going to be broken.

They want to express their "concern" for those types.. those poor unfortunate souls.. but the reality is - they go no where and do nothing - that could actually have to put them in contact with them. They shop in upscale areas, their kids go to pricey schools or in extremely good districts, they live in gated communities, belong to private country clubs.. all while patting themselves on the back about how much they "care". But, its all pretend. I will be open, I have no desire to go where homeless people congregate, or where druggies hang out or where teens congregate.....But the lefty snobs - aren't so honest....but they will be faced with it.. and when they are, the hypocrisy will be delicious.
