Starbucks Must Do THIS For Police . . . But It Won’t
You’ve probably heard about the disgusting behavior by a Starbucks barista in Tempe, Arizona, who asked police to leave. There’s something Starbucks must do to address the situation . . . but it won’t because police already let the coffee empire off too easy.
You know the story: on Independence Day, when most Americans were fortunate to have the day off to celebrate America’s birth, six Tempe police officers gave up their day off and were working to keep an American city safe. As thanks for their service–service in which police officers risk their lives every single day–a Starbucks customer said he/she/it “did not feel safe” with police drinking coffee there, and a spineless jellyfish of a Starbucks barista asked them to leave.
While I don’t know the respective ethnicities of the lowlife customer and the ejected Tempe police officers, I would be willing to bet this is a case of racism. And I’m sure you know the kind I’m talking about. Or it’s just some stupid White liberal hipster who wishes he/she/it were born a minority and wants to feel down wit da struggle and faux-oppressed with their “pain.”
Regardless of that, there is something Starbucks must absolutely do, but probably won’t . . . unless police all over America boycott Starbucks and keep up the pressure until it does. To wit, Starbucks must close all of its stores for a day and have all of its baristas educated by local police in what I call “Blue Sensitivity Training.”
As you’ll recall, Starbucks closed all of its stores for a day, last year, for “anti-bias training” because a barista called police on some Black men who refused to buy anything and refused to leave. Clearly, the “anti-bias” training was only about the Black race and not about police or any other group. We know that because we know who the “instructors” were, and they were all professional race merchants. (And even before that, we knew that Starbucks was obsessed with race, when it started a failed campaign to have customers ask baristas questions about race to “spark discussion.”)
If Starbucks was truly sorry for this outrageous behavior toward police customers, it would give them at least the same respect and response as it gave the Black non-customers. But don’t hold your breath.
The Tempe police union reps and other police around the country were too quick to accept Starbucks’ empty apology that it was forced to make. They should have taken a cue from the race-hustling shakedown kings. Clearly, paying customers who also actually keep Starbucks safe by virtue of their presence, don’t get the respect Starbucks gives those of a certain complexion.
And not only is that disgusting behavior toward the police who keep Starbucks free from chaos, it’s also racism.
Starbucks coffee stinks anyway. What’s going on in this country? ONE person complains and customers are asked to leave? Nike pulls it shoe because one idiot complained? Most establishments are happy to have cops frequent their establishment, because they know there are less problems and won’t be robbed.
Maybe Starbucks should close all its stores for “training” as they did with a previous incident to show their sincerity.
