I'm sure most of you have heard Starbucks wants their liberal art degree majors, or as we call them Barista's to strike up conversations about race. I LOL to the floor. Shit could get violent real quick! Why don't they just ban white cream & make black coffee only while they're at it. Discuss among yourselves & share your thoughts

Why get in a tizzy over this??

I'm sure they just want everybody hold hands and buy coffee... Charles Shultz is a billionaire smart dude, I am sure he knows whats up... And by the way, they treat their barista's like gold,, Health care, 401k's etc... how many people can say that about their workplace??

No tizzy here, I find it funny. It's clearly a ploy, an insulting patronizing ploy. As for healthcare & 401k, I guess I'm confused by your question, everyone I know that has a real job has all those things. We all make choices, if yours is to work a menial job then I honestly don't care if you have those things or not. I get everyone wants those things provided but there are actual costs associated that everyone loves to ignore

Some limp wristed posey sniffing honky wants to try and get me to talk about race before I have had a chance to finish my morning coffee?

Morgan should be happy that blacks get an entire month. We women only get one day, March 8, international women's day. And we're damn thankful to have it. :^)

Sounds like somebody with too much time had too much coffee.

You're 100% spot on with the liberal arts degree.

It's the new high school diploma. Every 8th year college grad hipster queer fat hippy loser idiot living at home at 35 has one.

Same dirty fuckers cooking food in restaurants too.

5 times?

McDonalds coffee is the best and I pay 39 cents.

Starfucks in hotels is even more expensive.

The only reason a straight man should be at one is to hit on rich business chicks. No other reason.

How the hell do you get a $.39 coffee from McDonalds? I pay about $1.75 when I go there. It's $2.40 or so when I go to Starbucks and you can get free refills all day. Unfortunately, Starbucks is the lesser evil in downtown fort worth. There aren't any other coffee shops that I know of and the break room coffee is worse than Starbucks. There is some great scenery at Starbucks in downtown. All the girls in their professional skirts and whatnot.

But I sure as hell am not going to be carrying on a conversation with the baristas. Especially about race. What do they expect you to talk about specifically? Just seems like a recipe for disaster. I think Schultz probably has good intentions but the delivery got butchered.

I don't know, it's too tempting to go in & start the dialogue:

Barisita: What can I get you?

Me: Coffee, but black, unless you have non white cream. I can't stand white, so glad I'm not white. I'm Eastern European, what about you?

Barista: Well I'm proud of who I am.

Me: Oh, so you're racist.

Barista: Not that kind of proud.

Me: So you're ashamed of your white privilege?

Barista: Ummmm

Me: I notice all your cups are white, shame.

Barista: I don't have time for this.

Me: Yes, you do. I watch the news, you're supposed to talk. I understand race is a delicate issue & with your white pride & everything white in your store, it causes mixed signals. I also don't see any black people in here, does Sharpton know this?

Barista: I'm not racist! (writes my name all f****d up on cup)

I like it when the barista keeps their mouth shut and makes my coffee.

Go there and order a flat white.
The starfucks here have all races working.
But all are straight queer. And I mean flaunting it with the clothes, lisp, the walk, and limp wrist.

Dead serious.

Starbucks does free refills?

I think their coffee is shit and don't pay for it unless I'm travelling.

I wanna see like Tosh or someone go into a Starbucks & be like "I'm so glad you want to talk about race. I hate those fucking n*****s, god they act like animals burning & destroying shit, lord have mercy, good gracious. And they racist too!" That would be career suicide but their memory would live on

If you do just black coffee they do. They won't give you free fru fru lattes or whatever the hell everyone else orders there. I used to get about 4 cups a day but anymore I drink their coffee about once every 2 weeks. I brew my own. I've started liking the Bob Marley coffee actually.

The best part is no barista tries to talk to me about politics or race. . .

Oddly enough I think he could pull it off. He says far more stereotypical things on his show. He usually says it mocking the people he's impersonating though. So maybe it's all in the delivery? Ha.
