God help you if you offer a black coffee afterwards.

I always ask for a "large black' or even a "large hot black", but only at DD. I have had to add hot to the description because of the proliferation of ice coffees.

Closed all day?

Just send a company e-mail or post a bulletin in the backroom stating don't kick out black people for being black.

I have a dream that one day black men will be allowed louter and trespass in stores unmolested for as long as they like without being asked to leave and not be arrested even after being told numerous times by the police

They should start adding trap and drill to their coffee house playlists

Can they close their stores for a day to teach their staff not to burn the coffee?

Coffee is the worst thing on their menu.

What a ridiculous overreaction. Why not just dedicate a day and donate the proceeds to charities rather than do whatever this is if they feel so strongly about it.

It was stupid of the manager to ask them to leave (assuming the place wasn't overcrowded and he wasn't legitimately trying to make room for paying customers), and even more stupid to call the police, but why is it assumed it was racial?

Also, just saw this in USA Today:

Quote:
It came as Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson offered apologies after employees in one of the company's Philadelphia stores called the police to report two well-dressed black men were trespassing Thursday by refusing to leave when they hadn't ordered drinks or food. One had asked to use a restroom and was denied, saying it was only for paying customers.


Well-dressed? They were in sweats (not that it matters...just weird the writer would say that).

I have to ask, but are there any groups in this country Starbucks has not pissed off in the last few years?

Hot, black, and strong- that's the only way I want my coffee.

The group that provides this "race training" is undoubtedly one of the most corrosive effects ever to be unleashed on civilization. Enduring 8 hours of "WHITE PEOPLE ARE EVIL" from some borderline retarded college liberal who has never held a real job is a fate truly worse than death.

This is hilarious coming from the guy who literally doesn't have a job.
