        The only other chainwide closure in Starbucks' 47-year history was in 2008 for espresso training for baristas, according to the company.https://usat.ly/2s9RnHg

        Up to 180,000 employees at Starbucks stores and at its headquarters will receive training from a "tool kit" that will "focus on understanding prejudice and the history of public accommodations in the United States."https://usat.ly/2LE5hKH

        One of the most liberal companies are accused of racism without actual evidence of racism except for the parties involved were of different races so racism is always the default are closing their stores for racial-bias training....pic.twitter.com/iWNlew1tjM

        "actual evidence of racism except for the parties involved were of different races" 🤔 that is the definition of racism

        You're missing the word "without" when you quoted me. Just because there is a fight or disagreement between 2 or more people who happen to be of different races, does not mean racism ever has to play a part. Some people scream racism so they can deflect their own bad behavior.

        I went to a Chinese restaurant to use the bathroom and they refused to allow me to do so since I wasn't going to buy anything. Instead of escalating the situation and causing more drama, I left. I'm white and they were chinese...should I just assume they were racists?

        For someone who is so stupid, you sure give yourself too much credit. Saying that simply sitting down is an example of bad behavior is just plain idiocy on your part. Not "Logic and Reason".

        Is America the only county where you can break the law and become a millionaire? #UnpopularOpinion just found out #Starbucks paid them a huge settlement. Go into a store refuse to order something, refuse to leave, get arrested for loitering then get set for life #TuesdayThoughtspic.twitter.com/FOS1gBEL2g

        The problem is not that one made the offer, or that the other accepted it, the problem is that the law allows to make the offer in the first place. #idiocracy

        That’s good corporate leadership, especially in this age when we must watch large corporations* like a hawk, lest they do the people harm. *banks, petroleum etc etc
