fact: They would lose more business by allowing BLM clothing at work.
I don't get coffee there but I bet that would be true.
In other words, Starbucks is such a saturated addiction that they won't gain more customers by allowing it, but they will lose some if they do allow it.
Why do none of these companies understand that the woke twitterati are a small vocal minority propped up by sever censorship. Quit fucking pandering to them, they don't buy your shit, most because they can't cause they're broke lazy fucks. They don't represent the bulk of your customers. My mom worked at one for 12 years. Even the bulk of the workers were not woke, and the ones that were quit because it was a job and they were expected to work.
You're absolutely correct, same with nascar. You're not bringing in new blood with this virtue signaling but you are hurting what you do have. How bout you just have a good product served by happy people. THAT will bring in new blood.
This is what I'm saying. Twitter is to BLM, Antifa, and the rest of the far left as TD.win is to Trump supporters. As a business why concern yourself with what a far left echo chamber has to say about you? Most of them don't have the money for your coffee anyway.
They do eventually. They're riding on reserves for now, but when those start to dwindle, they will spend millions trying to figure out what we could tell them in 2 lines of text, realize they need to quit the political shit and make a pledge to be apolitical.
When Schultz left, Starbucks took quite a turn back to 'normal' (by their standards). Many of the workers were very very happy he left. I wasn't surprised by their first statement saying you couldn't wear BLM gear (as it was political). That was more the line they were trying to push, stay apolitical, make fucking money. I also wasn't surprised (but saddened) when they back tracked and caved. They got sick of losing money. Looks like they didn't learn their lesson hard enough the first time. Oh well, Starbucks near me is shit. I only go when my mom is in town and its discounted. Guess i'll save the calories.
Leftists can't resist virtue signaling. We even have this shit going on here in my small town. A local guy who is starting a new business here decided that it would be a good idea to promote the fact that it is a "queer" business and he also stuck a bunch of BLM signs all over the store front. This was quickly noticed by people who said that they wouldn't be patronizing that business, followed by other people calling them "racist" and "homophobic" for not wanting to support the business.
This is a politically mixed town, so injecting politics into your business is almost guaranteed to alienate half of your potential customers. The successful businesses here remain apolitical.
Agreed. You need both sides to be successful. Best way to do that, it to shut up and sell your stuff. Either let people put out no signs in your yard or all signs. We have a lady that runs a Chinese restaurant here in town and her only rule is, buy food at my place, and you can put down your sign. Smart. In front of her business is a mass of all the signs in the area, and I have no idea who she votes for. Never cared either, she makes fantastic fried rice, lol.
Yep. Starbucks is a company that spends a LOT of money on market research. If they put out a memo telling employees not to wear BLM gear, it probably means this: the executives know that most people are fucking sick of this shit.

Cause these companies dont care about profits. They care about ideology

I prefer my private businesses not to engage in political protests. I don't know why that's so fucking hard for the left to understand.
