    I'm proud of Starbucks for this. I know several of the women and men on the team who were brought in to create this training and to consult on essential new policies to ensure that customers are never discriminated against again. It's not everything, but it's a good start.https://twitter.com/ajplus/status/1001187814346711042 …

    8,000 Starbucks stores will be closed on Tuesday afternoon for "racial-bias education." The company announced the plan after an employee called the cops on 2 black men because they were … waiting for a friend. pic.twitter.com/bnYoqXs5az

        Was in SBUX on Saturday. Baristas we’re making jokes about the training and making jokes about calling 911.

        My friend manages a Starbucks in Portland, Oregon and had no idea the training started. I hope Starbucks is really taking this seriously and not just trying to get out of this controversy. It’s easy to get a few people to sign some forms and say they went through the “training.”

        Now it'll be a lot of uncomfortable interactions and fake smiles while paying for high end caffeine. Drink more water.
