A Day without Starbuck: Whatever will we do
« on: May 29, 2018, 12:29:04 pm »
As many know, Starbucks is closed for racial-bias training and all stores across the entire country are shut down for the day. I must say, I don't drink Starbucks personally, so I don't have a dog in this hunt.

It sucks that StarBucks is closed for diversity training. Now where am I going to shoot up and take a dump on the way downtown? My explosive diarrhea won't wait.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

This is America, where white people have to learn more about their evil racist ways.
Starbucks says so.

There are going to be a lot of grumpy people today who weren't able to have their morning constitutional because of lack of Starbucks.

Hopefully a lot of locally owned coffee shops around the country will get a positive impact.

Someone should let Starbucks management know that the Starbucks in my office building is open for business right now.

While 8,000 Starbucks company-operated stores are closing for racial bias training, most of the 7,000 licensed stores like locations in grocery stores, hotels, college campuses and airports will likely remain open, according to the Seattle-based coffee giant.

That's something I've been wondering about...is this idiotic "closing" for all locations, or just the Corporate owned cafes?

I expect it's to keep Starbucks from finding out we're criticizing them.  Also, it's @Wingnut who dunnit...lol

Only if it's "Screw Whiteys and Jews Day," like this is for Buckstars, and it's never gonna happen at my Lounge. :tongue2:

I thought it was one of those pedal thingamajigs for electric guitar.  Robin Trower used to play with one.
