Epic Fail, Starbucks. You don’t force your baristas who you pay $7-$10 an hour to talk about race, when your practices don’t reflect what you speak. Corporate should lead the discussion
Not sure what @Starbucks was thinking. I don't have time to explain 400 years of oppression to you & still make my train. #RaceTogether
—
April (@ReignOfApril) March 17, 2025honest to God, if you start to engage me in a race conversation before I've had my morning coffee, it will not end well.

I am 100% interested in engaging with Starbucks employees in a conversation about race. Let's start with anyone _but_ the baristas. VPs! HR!

Hey Starbucks: Instead of badgering your customers about race, what about serving non-burnt coffee? #RaceTogether

Imani ABL (@AngryBlackLady) March 17, 2025We cannot #RaceTogether when our starting line is 500m behind yours.
And our line comes with dogs.
And tear gas.
And you have cars.

Starbucks says let’s talk about race. People say okay, tell us about your hiring practices, wages and salaries, who sits at the power table, etc. Their corporate dude deletes his Twitter account and locks his Instagram account. That’s how Starbucks talks about race. Congratulations, cowards
Corporate White Dude: Let's talk about race! 😃 #RaceTogether
POC: Uh...ok. *talks about race
CWD: NOT LIKE THAT! 😭 *deletes account

Maybe Starbucks should try to actually practice what it's trying to preach and be 100% fair trade to help POC. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #RaceTogether

So Starbucks both starts to serve alcohol and encourage their baristas to discuss race relations. Nothing about this seems like a bad idea

How does @Starbucks even decide whom to ask about #RaceTogether? Are you engaging in racial profiling to talk about ending racial profiling?

(@sfpelosi) March 17, 2025@sfpelosi @Starbucks And who in the world wants to begin a loaded convo on race with a perfect stranger? Productive convo requires trust.
