Comment on Starbucks to encourage baristas to discuss race relations with customersparent

Comments

Making customers uncomfortable is always a bad plan. I don't want to contemplate the fact that I work in a mostly white office building above an entirely black starbucks, while getting a cop of coffee.

And I used to be a cashier. I'd rather die than start a talk about a touchy political issue with customers.

Talking about politics and/or controversial topics, which race relations is IMO, is impolite in public. If I owned a coffee shop, I sure as hell wouldn't want my employees making an effort to talk about stuff like that to customers.
