Starbucks wants its baristas to talk about race with customers

[Whosyer]

This just in......Hooters encourages employees to discuss domestic violence, Don Pablo's encourages employees to discuss immigration, 84 lumber encourages employees to discuss reforestation........... and on, and on.

Why can't they make their overpriced coffee and move on? I don't care about their opinion and they don't care about mine.

With supermodels I talk underwear. With baristas I talk coffee. I'll try to reverse that next time to see what happens. "I'd like a tall (athletic) blonde please."

If you got a short, petite red head by mistake, would you return her and complain?

Return the Redhead. She'll boil over and burn your a**.

Yes, yes, you are! It comes with the indoor plumbing. Anyone who feels they aren't, just hasn't had someone push the right buttons/triggers. Your day will come though!

Never been to Starbucks, I would just want my coffee and a smile.

It's worth a little discomfort. Here's the what and the why of #RaceTogether. Race Together: Conversation has the Power to Change Hearts and Minds | Starbucks Newsroom

Same folks who hate Chick-Fil-A & Hobby Lobby because of the owners' beliefs are totally cool with Starbucks pouring politics w/ our coffee.

Bahahahaaaha.

So, by "talk about it" he really meant "listen to me, but bite your own tongue".

That seems to be what they usually mean.

Too bad. A lot of Race and Gender Studies degree holders will be missing out on the opportunity to lecture us.
