It's ok if you don't remember this, but this isn't the first time they've done this shit, so not only is it insensitive, rude, frustrating, hypocritical bullshit trying to pass as all-loving (and getting away with it), but the repetitiveness of these instances grows more and more insulting to those of us who notice and know the truth because we see how they blatantly exploit all of the beautiful things they claim to be all about.

That is fucking awful about the threatening customers. Absolute bullshit on those customers. But I'm calling bullshit on management too for choosing to give in to hate instead of using their right to refuse service. I sure as hell don't want to work anywhere that would take a BLM sticker down (a sticker... a STICKER!! *One* sticker?? Really?) just so that they can keep profiting off of a clearly dangerous homophobe. Absolutely not. And sadly sbux isn't the first, nor the only business I've had to leave due to said businesses actively participating and/or perpetuating racism.

But if I couldn't have left those places, and they did what your manager did, I would go to my DM, if I were you. It is definitely not right what your sm did, and, as we've been talking about this entire time, what your sm was so against everything the sbux claims *so hard* to be (butI'm not even convinced that a dm would do the right thing in this situation, but it's still worth the try at the very least). And so that right there is just *one more* "accidental dropping of the curtains" from good ol Starbucks! :D lol

Edits - spelling :/

It’s great that you have the luxury to not have to remember things like that. Unfortunately, it’s just another example that runs in some of our minds on loop. The fact that you think it was just a “mistake” that they “fixed” instead of a potential p.r nightmare that they avoided shows why they think everyone can be fooled.

It’s the day all the slaves were freed in 1865

Well yeah, that's just capitalism bay-bee. But sbux goes above and beyond (gagging as I type this) that, they specifically market themselves to seem as though they are pretty much the *only* company out there that *doesn't* care about profit over people. So much of the employee training is all but literally drilling this notion in people's heads. Shit even on this sub they're are regular posts from partners just gushing about how much they love this job and how appreciated they feel working for this company. They're are *so* many people who fallen into this trap and truly believe that if things came form to it, sbux would always choose person over profit. It's like, Starbuck's *thing*, you know? Like they put a lot of fuckin effort trying to convince the world (and themselves) of this, *much* much more effort than any other company would ever even care about.

So when their curtain accidentally drops and they blatantly contradict their very own most prided and beloved morals, it's just *that* much more of an insult (or if you're like me, *that* much more of a fucking joke) and goes *way* deeper than just "op, well bottom like is bottom line folks" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You obviously don't understand why what happened, happened. Just stop talking please

It is a movement rebelling against the systemic oppression of Black people in North America. I get that seeing destruction on the news is scary, but when the only thing the system cares about is capitol and private property, destructive rioting becomes the only legitimate form of rebellion.

>I know the only media coverage I saw about blm had cars and businesses being set on fire :/ pretty sure I can call that a riot

Ok, reread that sentence. Do you not see how bias you are? And don't come back trying to say you got your info from multiple sources, because even if that were true, your extreme biases are still there since there were *many*, firsthand sources that were broadcasting from the ground. Like, up in everything, and they all showed what can only be described as protest that was *more* than peaceful. So peaceful in fact, that you could see as clear as day, police department intentionally provoking and outright assaulting these peaceful protesters. Using actual gorilla warfare tactics to herd and entrap the large group, causing extreme claustrophobia and panic. Shooting rubber bullets *point blank at protesters* instead of aiming *at the ground* as they're *intended* to be shot. *Pepper spraying literal CHILDREN in the FACE*.

It's not bizarre or out of the ordinary for PD's/LEO's to instigate to the point of provocation in situations such as protests.

Also, it's been all over so many news sources that most of the looting and damage was in fact done by the right, in hopes that the general public would think it was actually liberals/aNtiFa. And even more specifically, it was reported all over that *the very first instance of ANY violence or damage* done during 2020 summer protests, damage/looting of an Ace hardware iirc, was actually the act of an pff duty PO wearing all black hoping to be mistaken for aNtiFa. His ex-wife saw pictures of him breaking the large window with a pink umbrella that was once hers. She turned him in right away.

bro get tf off this subreddit.. 😭 you may have an opinion but no one asked to hear it.

They don't like it because they are racist and don't think black lives matter, byeee
