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.
