Starbucks quickly folds on allowing workers to wear BLM attire, co-designs t-shirts to sweeten the deal
June 12, 2020 | Tom Tillison
Well, that didn’t take long.
Starbucks was beaten into submission by the liberal mob posthaste after the left-wing corporation would not allow employees to wear Black Lives Matter attire while on the clock — which is not to say the Seattle-based coffee company doesn’t openly support the movement with a rich history of violence.
But when it comes to intolerant progressives, they accept no less than complete capitulation and total surrender and will not be deterred by any attempt to adhere to longstanding dress-code policies.
And after taking considerable fire this week, in part because the company allows LGBT pins, Starbucks folded like a cheap lawn chair.
“Black Lives Matter. We continue to listen to our partners and communities and their desire to stand for justice together. The Starbucks Black Partner Network co-designed t-shirts with this graphic that will soon be sent to 250,000+ store partners,†read a tweet from the company’s official Twitter account.

Don't think it took much to beat Starbucks into submission. The company has been "woke" for years. It just deviated from the radical agenda for a moment and had to be "corrected."
Really don't care what happens to Starbucks. Their coffee is lousy and overpriced. I wouldn't patronize its stores even if it wasn't "woke." The company can fold completely for all I care.
