Another day, another boycott of Starbucks. The coffee company has been singled out for everything from its "no firearms in the store" request to its support of redefining marriage to its declaration it would hire 10,000 "refugees" in response to President Trump's immigration agenda.
Unfortunately for Starbucks, its politically correct, feel-good social justice policies have hit a snag.
The corporation's liberal-leaning initiatives are not enough to keep Black Lives Matter agitators at bay.
Two unnamed black men, arrested for trespassing at a Philadelphia Starbucks last week, are the latest martyrs for the cause. Calls for a boycott of Starbucks ensued soon after a video of the arrest went viral.
The stars aligned for the race-hustlers, as a published author and proponent of the "implicit bias" and "white privilege" theories, according to her 2016 Facebook posts, just happened to be sitting in the same Starbucks as police arrived.
Melissa DePino filmed the arrest in an eight-minute video, and before long, BLM activists were blocking the entrance to the establishment............The men were asked to leave three times by the police and refused. Why didn't they just order a cup of coffee? Most restaurants do not allow patrons to take up space without ordering something............Krasner, like Starbucks, thinks he can have a rational dialogue about his "unconscious bias" with a bunch of radical hoodlums like BLM. When will these liberals ever learn?.............Read more
My Take - I haven't posted anything about this until now for a reason. It was obvious to the most casual observer this was a set up and I wanted more information to come out before I said that.
I've been to Starbucks and I was told I couldn't use the bathroom until I purchased something, so I did, and they gave me the key. See, that's not so hard, but noooooo, these two guys come into a business with limited seating and refuse to buy anything, sit around for some time, don't tell anyone they're there to meet someone, want to use the bathroom without purchasing anything, and then refuse to leave when asked to either buy something or leave.
Now we find the only name coming out of this affair is the activist who just happened to be sitting there to take a video of this "event', and make no mistake about it - this was an event - a staged event.
There's absolutely no reason why Starbucks should have dropped charges, made apologies, closed thousands of stores to have training sessions on how to treat blacks, or whomever is the victim of the day, and there's no reason why the names of these two guys haven't been released.
I have a suggestion. I'm going to ban my use of Starbucks! Why? I don't like the way I have to stand in line when people can use a app on their cell phone to get their order in ahead of time and have it waiting for them when they get there, and if I understand it correctly - they pay online. They never have to stand in line at all. Well, it's clear this is absolutely discriminatory against old people who don't have those kinds of phones or apps or know how to use them and have to stand in line with their arthritis.
UNFAIR BAIS!!!!!!!!!
DISCRIMINATION AGAINST THE AGED AND THE TECHNOLOGICALLY ILLITERATE!!!!!
Okay, let's get signs made up and start protests at their front door preventing those with apps from entering. Whadda ya think? Good idea? Nah, that would make us look insane, so why are these loons treated differently?
