Irony Abounds As Woke Starbucks Forced To Close 16 Shops In Democrat-Controlled Liberal Cities Due To Violence Against Workers At Store Locations

July 19, 2022 admin News 0

Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz said Democratic mayors and city councils have ‘abdicated their responsibility’ in fighting crime and addressing mental illness, which has forced his company to shutter stores due to fears over employee safety.

How ironic is it that Far Left Starbucks is being forced to start shuttering stores in cities across America that are run by Democrats because the streets have become too violent and the safety of Starbucks workers cannot be guaranteed? This is what you get when wokeness is in charge, you get anarchy, violence, poverty and death. But it’s a really good real world illustration of what Socialism can do for you.

“But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.” Isaiah 32:8 (KJB)

If wokeism was a good thing, when people and companies embrace it they should prosper, but they don’t, they collapse and fall into ruin. Cities like Chicago, Portland and Seattle have become literal hellholes, turning once-thriving areas into block after block of burned out and shut down cautionary tales. Starbucks has long been anti-cop, anti-Israel and anti-Christian, on top of that their coffee tastes terrible. If terrorism had a flavor, it’d be Starbucks nasty, burnt-tasting coffee. Wouldn’t bother me a bit if all of their stores closed tomorrow. I’ll take Maxwell House anytime.

Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz blames Dem-run cities for store closures

FROM THE NY POST: Schultz made the comments in leaked video that was posted to Twitter over the weekend by Ari Hoffman of KVI-AM talk radio based in Seattle. Last week, Starbucks announced it was closing 16 restaurants in various cities across the country due to what the company said was employee complaints of drug use and violent crime on the premises. Schultz said he believes the Seattle-based coffee chain will have to close “many more” locations.

“This is just the beginning,” said the interim chief executive, who came back to run the company earlier this year following the retirement of his predecessor, Kevin Johnson. “There are gonna be many more store closures.”

The leaked video of Schultz shows him addressing Starbucks employees. He told them that the company was “beginning to close stores that are not unprofitable.” Schultz said he was “shocked” to hear from employees that “one of the primary concerns that our retail partners [baristas] have is their own personal safety.”

“And then we heard about the stories that go along with it about what happens in our bathrooms,” Schultz said.

In 2018, Starbucks implemented an “open bathrooms” policy after a store manager had two black men arrested for not ordering coffee while sitting down in a Philadelphia location. Video of the arrest went viral, and Starbucks apologized following intense backlash. Now the company is giving store managers discretion to alter the policy due to complaints that Starbucks bathrooms are a magnet for drug abusers and homeless people.

In the video leaked over the weekend, Schultz cited the “issues of mental illness, homelessness, and crime.”

“Starbucks is a window into America,” Schultz said. “We are facing things in which the stores were not built for.”

Schultz then took Democrat-run cities to task for not providing solutions.

“In my view, at the local, state, and federal level, these governments across the country and leaders — mayors, governors, and city councils — have abdicated their responsibility in fighting crime and addressing mental illness,” he said. READ MORE
