Starbucks race together: baristas not in mood to talk racial reconciliation

2015-04-14 4

Pity the poor baristas who work at Starbucks. Put yourselves in their position: you’re making an hourly wage, you’re probably just trying to earn a few dollars to help pay for school or help your family make ends meet.

Some asshole hopped up on three espresso shots left a dooce that’s been stinking up the bathroom all afternoon. And now your boss, Howard Schultz, expects you to help bridge America’s racial divide.

This job just doesn’t get any easier.

The well-intentioned Schultz announced the “Race Together” campaign this week. He wants baristas to write the words on coffee cups and engage customers in a dialogue about race.

TomoNews talked to several baristas about Race Together. Unsurprisingly, many were reluctant to even go there.

Can you really blame them?
