Today Starbucks will close all their stores early to have bias training.
This is why corporations just plain suck....I WANT MY COFFEE!!!

Their coffee sucks. It’s so strong it’s practically undrinkable.
If only there was someplace else to buy coffee...

If I were an employee I would find it deeply grating to be told I need to undergo "racial bias training" all because of a couple bad apples.

Serving coffee all day vs being paid the same to watch a presentation, probably with free coffee provided? It seems like a pretty easy choice to me.
Gotta hand it to Starbucks... they do a decent job at pretending to give a damn about racial bias when the media calls them out on it.
Except I'm guessing a lot of employees have to come in on their day off or have an awkward shift schedule because of it

They're making a gamble that this will pay off in terms of overall customer response. If they are perceived as being willing to address what they think is a real problem--perhaps internal review revealed further, less-public problems?--then they are assuming that the cost will be worth it in long-term consumer perception.
I guess everyone here is perfect and nobody has implicit bias. wonderful!
And training is going to stop it? Bias' are a function of the human brain for a reason.
It was absolutely stupid IMO. The American public are like 10 year old kids. They have INCREDIBLY small attention spans and will find something different to bitch about next week. Life and profits will continue as normal, without the stupidity and costs of closing stores for a BS "training"
