Starbucks reverses course, will now allow baristas to wear Black Lives Matter attire

[Sugar Cookie]

Starbucks has quickly reversed a decision that would have prohibited its baristas from wearing apparel supporting the Black Lives Matter movement.

The company publicly has publicly supported Black Lives Matter on its social media channels and in a press release, but sent an internal memo to employees says baristas cannot do the same.

That was reversed in a tweet Friday that read, quote, “We trust you to do what’s right while never forgetting Starbucks is a welcoming third place where all are treated with dignity and respect.”

Starbucks has long encouraged employees to wear apparel celebrating LGBTQ rights for Pride, and hands out those items to baristas.

The tweet also said the company has designed T-shirts for staff to wear to express solidarity, and they’re on the way.

Fuck Starbucks.
Seriously.

I picture a group of 30-somethings that are all white sitting in a boardroom discussing how to capitalize on and optimize their revenue stream from BLM in the wake of social injustice. Ways how they can do it and come out smelling like they actually care about something other than dollars.

Just Fuck'em!

One of dozens that keeps them in the news looking concerned.
I think the employees should not wear anything which brings attention to movements, politics, individuals.
A crisp shirt and barista apron.
This applies to any coffee place. Can't customers just enjoy a break and a beverage?!

I preferred when religion and politics were not discussed in the work place.

Actually Starbucks has always been an unethical political company
Like Nike, Starbucks knows their demographics and how to play their customer base, it’s all about profit and fake woke

Starbucks claims of supporting the welfare of coffee farmers in developing countries in order to be portrayed as an ethical corporation. In reality these workers are manipulated and underpaid. In 2007.

The coffee giant on Sunday discontinued one of the key elements of its campaign, telling employees they no longer needed to write “Race Together,” or to place similar stickers, on cups given to customers.

One way Starbucks may have ventured too far with the race initiative, some observers say, is by asking its baristas to engage with consumers on a topic some struggle to discuss with their own family members and friends.
