Reader says perhaps Starbucks is succeeded with initiating productive dialogue by the people rather than the media
Here’s some fuel for the fire. Does anyone else notice that there is rarely any media coverage about discrimination of any other group that even comes close to the hype provided for the race-baiters that soak up the camera and $$$ today? Pick any “oppressed” group. I’m no historian, but did any of these groups destroy, on a continuous basis, their own communities with riots, fire and other illegal activities? And at the same time have their own media darlings who benefitted as a result. It appears that the groups who experienced such a plight improved themselves and their peers, or are in the process of this. There are already laws on the books. At what point is society no longer to blame and personal responsibility becomes necessary?? This is a genuine question, so looking forward to informative responses rather than personal attacks. I don’t like Starbucks coffee either, but perhaps it succeeded with initiating productive dialogue by the people rather than the media.
What qualifications do the baristas have for this inane idea, having worked in extremely busy food & public venues, service is #1. Who wants to be behind some opinionated windbag when you have the Java shakes & need to catch the bus to work otherwise you’re fired. How ’bout “What about them Yanks & Mets” ? I will not go there until this stupid tactic disappears. Dunkin Donuts & 7-11 have better coffee, but I will miss the Frappacino.
