Starbucks to undergo "Racial-Bias" Training

*Papenbrook* · 05-29-2018, 10:20 AM

Yes, really.

Let's see how well this goes ...

Not needed since 80% of Starbucks employees have degrees involving racial studies

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 05-29-2018, 07:27 PM

Not around here they don't. Our local Starbucks mostly employs teens or young people right out of high school. Some are probably in college, but most certainly not for racial studies. Around here, it's mostly nursing/medical studies.

That said, our local Starbucks closed today for this, and because of it our own store was slammed for coffee drinks because of it. In fact, their manager, who is one of my regular customers in the mornings, came by an told me about the closing, and came by while the "store staff meeting" had let out for a short break. The funny part is- when she comes over here to order, all she gets is a frappe!

Pretty sure FWL was taking a dig at the "snowflake crowd".

As in, "Lots of people currently under 25 completely wasted their college experience by getting a useless degree like Racial Studies. Which is why they're working at Starbucks, and why they'll still be working at Starbucks when they're 50."

Unless I'm reading too much into it. I hope not, because it seemed like a really subtle jab and was legit one of the most clever things I've seen today.

You're right. If true, that's the best post from FWL I've ever seen.

Subtle? clever? FredWolfLeonardo's post?

Where's that J Jonah Jameson laughing video?

Starbucks sealed their own fate, they are in bankruptcy and next year they will be closing their stores.

*sdp* · 06-22-2018, 08:28 PM

Starbucks is not going bankrupt and despite things not doing as good as expected it's doing fine.

*Prowler* · 06-22-2018, 11:29 PM

Starbucks sells coffee? They call that trash they serve "coffee"?!

Only tourists, particularly Asian ones, seem to go to Starbucks here.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 06-23-2018, 10:53 PM

I dunno about their coffee, but I'm rather fond of their frappes and iced tea infusions. I get one whenever I want to really treat myself, and the cheese Danish croissants are pretty good too.
