Starbucks kicks out 2 black men for nothing

I see it seems folks love their white chocolate mochas
And Carmel macchiato’s
Cause we all ain’t put a lock down on Starbucks
Folks asking in the thread
But folks hesitant to say yes
Now mind u
I’m a fan of gingerbread latte
It’s my go to
Along with the snickerdoodle hot chocolate
But **** it
We boycotting
**** Starbucks
**** h&m
**** the nfl


EDIT: do the contracted Starbucks places count
The ones who are operated separately
inside like target or the movie theater
who don’t seem to be affiliated with Starbucks
But like pay to use the drinks logo and stuff
I’m not trippin just want to make sure

Did you read my whole post, fam?

You just be looking for debates, huh?:lol:

Here's an example of him going out of his way to make his opinion known. There are other instances of him speaking out or actually taking action.

Dear partners,

I write to you today with deep concern, a heavy heart and a resolute promise. Let me begin with the news that is immediately in front of us: we have all been witness to the confusion, surprise and opposition to the Executive Order that President Trump issued on Friday, effectively banning people from several predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States, including refugees fleeing wars. I can assure you that our Partner Resources team has been in direct contact with the partners who are impacted by this immigration ban, and we are doing everything possible to support and help them to navigate through this confusing period.

We are living in an unprecedented time, one in which we are witness to the conscience of our country, and the promise of the American Dream, being called into question. These uncertain times call for different measures and communication tools than we have used in the past. Kevin and I are going to accelerate our commitment to communicating with you more frequently, including leveraging new technology platforms moving forward. I am hearing the alarm you all are sounding that the civility and human rights we have all taken for granted for so long are under attack, and want to use a faster, more immediate form of communication to engage with you on matters that concern us all as partners.

I also want to take this opportunity to announce specific actions we are taking to reinforce our belief in our partners around the world and to ensure you are clear that we will neither stand by, nor stand silent, as the uncertainty around the new Administration’s actions grows with each passing day:

Support for DACA: As I wrote to Senators Graham and Durbin this week, we are enthusiastically behind their work to support “Dreamers” across our country – including those young men and women who are part of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. There are nearly three quarters of a million hardworking people contributing to our communities and our economy because of this program. At Starbucks, we are proud to call them partners and to help them realize their own American Dream. We want them to feel welcome and included in our success, which is why we reimburse them for the biennial fee they must pay to stay in the program and why we have offered DACA-related services at our Opportunity Youth hiring fairs.

Hiring Refugees: We have a long history of hiring young people looking for opportunities and a pathway to a new life around the world. This is why we are doubling down on this commitment by working with our equity market employees as well as joint venture and licensed market partners in a concerted effort to welcome and seek opportunities for those fleeing war, violence, persecution and discrimination. There are more than 65 million citizens of the world recognized as refugees by the United Nations, and we are developing plans to hire 10,000 of them over five years in the 75 countries around the world where Starbucks does business. And we will start this effort here in the U.S. by making the initial focus of our hiring efforts on those individuals who have served with U.S. troops as interpreters and support personnel in the various countries where our military has asked for such support.

Building Bridges, Not Walls, With Mexico: We have been open for business in Mexico since 2002, and have since opened almost 600 stores in 60 cities across the country, which together employ over 7,000 Mexican partners who proudly wear the green apron. We have sourced coffee from Mexico’s producers and their families for three decades and last fall, we also announced the creation of a farmer support center in Chiapas to help accelerate our collective ability to grow and export some of the world’s finest coffees from this important growing region, while donating more than $2 million to support the livelihood, food security and water quality of coffee producing communities in Oaxaca. With the support of thousands of Starbucks partners and millions of customers, we have also donated over a million coffee trees to support 70,000 families, and we will be expanding the initiative this year to generate another 4 million tree donations. Coffee is what unites our common heritage, and as I told Alberto Torrado, the leader of our partnership with Alsea in Mexico, we stand ready to help and support our Mexican customers, partners and their families as they navigate what impact proposed trade sanctions, immigration restrictions and taxes might have on their business and their trust of Americans. But we will continue to invest in this critically important market all the same.

Our Healthcare Commitment to You: Finally, let me restate what we have recently communicated with you about the Affordable Care Act – our commitment remains that if you are benefits eligible, you will always have access to health insurance through Starbucks. Many of you have expressed concerns that recent government actions may jeopardize your ability to participate in the Affordable Care Act. If the recent Executive Order related to health care remains in place and the Affordable Care Act is repealed causing you to lose your healthcare coverage, you will always have the ability to return and can do so within 30 days of losing that coverage rather than having to wait for an open enrollment period. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Benefits Center at 877-728-9236.

In the face of recent events around the world, let me assure you that we will stay true to our values and do everything we can possibly do to support and invest in every partner’s well-being while taking the actions that are squarely within our ability to control. This is our focus: providing a Third Place of respite for those around the world who seek it, daily.

Starbucks has and will always stand for opportunity – opportunity for our young people who are working to land their first job in the 75 countries where we do business, opportunity for our farmers who care so deeply for the highest of quality coffee we offer to customers all around the globe, and yes, opportunity for those who come to America in search of their own fresh start – whether that is with Starbucks directly, or through our suppliers or our partner companies.

If there is any lesson to be learned over the last year, it’s that your voice and your vote matter more than ever. We are all obligated to ensure our elected officials hear from us individually and collectively. Starbucks is doing its part; we need you to use the collective power of your voices to do the same while respecting the diverse viewpoints of the 90 million customers who visit our stores in more than 25,000 locations around the world.

So, while we seek to understand what the new Administration’s policies mean for us and our business both domestically and around the world, I can assure you that we will do whatever it takes to support you, our partners, to realize your own dreams and achieve your own opportunities. We are in business to inspire and nurture the human spirit, one person, one cup and one neighborhood at a time – whether that neighborhood is in a Red State or a Blue State; a Christian country or a Muslim country; a divided nation or a united nation. That will not change. You have my word on that.

Onward,

Howard

Now I don't know the man personally, but based off the evidence I have, this is the conclusion I've come to.

And like I said, him being a decent human being has no holding on whether or not Starbucks treats it's customers equally.

EDIT: My bad, this is a member of Board of Directors. There are examples from Kevin Johnson too, though.
 
If anyone spots this dude around South Street or Old City, please throw some hot coffee on him. You can get the guy in yellow too.

I read EVERYTHING you typed, I also read the part where YOU admitted Starbucks has cornered the, "Stuff White People Do" market.

So my question is how do you figure

A. HE is a decent human

vs.

B. He is just trying to expand his market to colored folks

I think the "cornering of the 'Stuff White People Do'" market is moreso a symptom of society's biggest problem.

And again, I acknowledge that I've made this determination with limited information. I could very well be wrong, but the evidence I have points in the direction of Kevin Johnson being a decent human being.

Now if you want me to get into his motive and tell you what's in his heart, I can't. All I can tell you is the track record he has told me to give Starbucks as a business the benefit of the doubt and wait to see what their response it. Now that they've responded, I want to see some actual change in how they treat AND WELCOME their customers. My issue is that Starbucks is the main watering hole for white people. I can't tell you if that's the CEO's fault, but I can hold those individuals and a business that creates this type of environment accountable, and I'm more than willing to.

Well this plus the free tuition etc, this is def one corporation that tries.
 
People boycotting Starbucks why? You all do realize that Starbucks is not a person right? It’s a business entity. Boycott Philadelphia. Scum bag racist in Philly are the reason for this. Have those people fired whatever. People putting energy into the wrong things. Boycotting Starbucks is going to result in 1 thing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

For the record I don’t **** with Starbucks simply because their coffee is trash
