It looks to me like a case of "never let a good crisis go to waste" effort on the parts of two factions here.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Sorry~~ Not really on your blog topic but.......

In Canada, a number of coffee shops/restaurants/book stores have thought of it as customer service to provide free WiFi service to their customers. I don't think they envisioned how many would abuse this by making their tables a workplace for long periods of time.

I think this particular issue can be solved by either removing WiFi, or charging an on-line fee every half hour for that connection.

Laughing here, Hank. I too, often drink Unsweetened tea, even in the South.
And I very much agree about the race hustlers. True, it may have been a racial profiling incident, but certainly not worthy of inciting racial protests and almost riots over it. Or, major shutdown and retraining episodes. Just the ones involved needed attention from the corp. and then move on.
But some need to make a mountain out of a molehill..... never let a good crisis go to waste!

Well, you know how I am.....Try to see what's behind it..

Until proven otherwise.. I believe it was a set-up....

Those two men knew exactly what they were doing. Knew where to do it...and to whom..

I think you're blog should be called Trump Hysteria. Sadly the United States of America elected a KNOWN racist. Starbucks is reacting to Trump ... maybe overreacting.

Guess you weren't paying attention (others were paying attention) when Trump refused to disavow David Duke. Trump said, "Just so you understand, I don't know anything about David Duke, OK".

If you lived under a rock all your life you might not "know anything" about David Duke. But Trumpinns didn't care that Trump is a racist OR a liar.

As Tex says it's just business. It's damage control 101. It's about 70% vs. 30% .. Starbucks would rather have 70% of the pie.

And your chickens have come home to roost.

Maisie you say "Trump has been disavowing Duke since 2000. You need to read a bit more".

I'm not going to research that because again, ON THE CAMPAIN TRAIL Trump said ... "Just so you understand, I don't know anything about David Duke, OK". That's story today

I don't think it's a stretch blaming Trump for the actions of Starbucks CEO. Again 70% of the pie is better than 30%

So now Starbucks wants to be in the business of shaping society? I thought they were a coffee shop!

Your lack of self-awareness is stunning..........You often accuse others of "virtue signalling", yet most of your blogs, like this one, are hysterical, virtue-signalling screeds.........as a matter of fact, I can't see the purpose of most of your blogs other than flagrant,strident, shrill , frantic signalling of how virtuous you are..........Look at me, look at me, I'm so right and all those people over there are so wrong.........

Why do you think everything is political...this isn't political..

This is about MONEY....how to find it...and how to get it

It's a by-product of racism, the unscrupulous, and retribution.....
that allows it to be unworthy, but justifiable in an unworthy person's mind....
It's about finding a cockroach in their coffee..... or getting burnt..

It about owning your own coffee house....and moving out of your cockroach motel..
but here's the deal.. a cockroach who lives in a coffee house is still a cockroach..

The same as a cockroach who lives in the White house.. is still a cockroach.

I knew the Teflon Twins wouldn't recognize their own words......as a matter of fact, I often mirror your own words back at you........."Your lack of awareness is stunning" is a comment Maisie made to ET a couple of days ago and all the adjectives are lifted from comments you have made to me..........You guys are a riot......so do these words denote hate when you use them, or only when others do?........By the way, those words don't add anything to the discussion when you or Maisie say them either......going by Maisie's comment about "shrill", does that mean you do dramatic readings of your own blogs at the breakfast table?.......
