Opened up a door to provide an opportunity to attack the police yet again when this had nothing to do with the police.

Quote:Employees of color who attended the highly-publicized “unconscious bias training” for Starbucks employees on Tuesday have reported it was more of a lesson on police brutality than anything else.

Starbucks closed 8,000 stores for several hours on May 30 to facilitate seminars for its employees after the coffee shop was at the forefront of a racial controversy in April.

“It felt like we were off task the entire time because we didn’t reflect on the situation itself,” a black 18-year-old Starbucks employee called “Tina” told Philadelphia Magazine.

“The training materials focused a lot on police brutality, which had nothing to do with the incident that happened,” Tina said.

She was referring to the incident that occurred at a Philadelphia Starbucks on April 12 when two black men were arrested for trespassing after employees called the police because they hadn’t purchased anything and refused to leave.

On that occasion, despite the controversy that surrounded their ejection from the coffee shop, no force was used to remove the men, and there have been zero allegations of police brutality.

In fact, the Philadelphia police commissioner instituted a new policy after they incident that required Starbucks employees to address company policy and commit to pressing charges before officers will make an arrest in one of their stores.

But employees claimed the training seminar was mostly a waste of time.

“I was really disappointed when I walked out of there because I was expecting so much more,” Tina said.

Another employee that Philadelphia Magazine called “Jamie” said that the Starbucks representative running the session he attended did not even address the incident that had spawned the bias training. He said nobody talked about it unless somebody asked a specific question.

Instead of discussing the incident, participants were asked to complete a journal with questions about their feelings about their own race. They were also asked about their natural hair and how often friends of different races visited their homes.

The radleft strikes again.

Is anyone surprised?


Interesting how leftists such as Starbucks CEO et al don't like being subjected to state laws mandating they do things (such as increased min wages) even though they campaign for those very types of things. They only campaign for others to have to comply, not themselves.

I would have left the damned thing blank and dared them to fire me.

Crazy...

My little sister (28 now) graduated from Wake Forest, moved to Philadelphia (where my parents live) and started working as a barista for up at the UPenn Starbucks part-time. I didn't realize at the time how Starbucks operated politically... but now it makes sense... she has since gone CRAZY liberal, alienated her relatively conservative family, moved to Austin, and is now a militant leftist drone. So sad.

I would be willing to bet 3 years at Starbucks did a good bit of damage.

You have my deepest sympathy on the loss of your sister. Maybe one day she'll come around.

I hear you. It is my older sister in my case. She is left of left. During Obama's 8 years she would give me all kind of grief, but I would take it, respond with my opinions, like on Barrycare, but never got ugly about it.

Well, since Trump won, my sister has gone off the deep end. She has no contact with myself or my brother because she is so eaten up with TDS. Somewhat sad, but she controls her emotions, not me.

My sister used to be like this, but now she is CEO of a tech-firm. She not nearly so liberal now, imagine that........... life comes at you fast when you run a business and are responsible for payroll.

Consider yourself lucky. That she's not visiting you is on her and not you. At least you don't have to listen to any propaganda.
