Fortunately for Starbucks they dont have any liquor, electronics, or jeans. Otherwise the prolootertesters would be coming by to honor George Floyd in their special way.

No BLM "accessories" allowed. Guess that means they have to leave their molotov cocktails in the car.



Starbucks bans employees from wearing Black Lives Matter attire

Starbucks publicly voiced support for the Black Lives Matter movement while it privately banned employees from wearing any BLM-related clothing or accessories, according to a report.

The coffee giant sent out several tweets last week pledging to “stand in solidarity with our Black partners, customers and communities.” But offline, Starbucks was at the same time barring its baristas and other shop employees for expressing that same support at work, according to a memo obtained by BuzzFeed News.

I wish everything was so easy to predict. LOL.
 
hehe. funny shiite theya you guys.

In a related matter Starbucks has announced that it is closing- what- 600 stores or so and permanently converting most of the remaining stores to take-out/drive-thru only. So most of their employees are now being reduced to little backroom drones anyway so they could probably work in the buff or in a big bunny suit and no one would know.
 
Walgreens and CVS to stop locking up beauty products for women of color

The drugstore chains Walgreens and CVS Health say they will stop locking up beauty and hair care products aimed at black women and other women of color, joining Walmart in ending a practice at some stores that has drawn the ire of customers.

“We are currently ensuring multicultural hair care and beauty products are not stored behind locked cases at any of our stores,” Walgreens said in a statement emailed to the Associated Press late on Thursday.

CVS confirmed its decision in a statement to the Guardian. “We have a firm nondiscrimination policy that applies to all aspects of our business and our product protection measures have never been based on the race or ethnicity of our customers,” the company said. “After reviewing the security measures we have in place for many different products and categories, we are taking steps in our stores to ensure that no hair, beauty or personal care products for communities of color are kept in locked displays or shelving units.”

The company also said it had grown its “textured hair and color categories” by 35% recently, adding new items and brands targeted towards communities of color. It said it was also making a commitment to stocking more black-owned and -founded haircare brands.

Walmart on Wednesday said it would ban the practice, which took place at a dozen of its 4,700 stores and became the focus of a federal discrimination lawsuit filed in 2018 that was dropped a year later.

Walmart is making other major changes, in an effort to curb systemic racism and discrimination. On Thursday, the retailer announced it would stop selling facial recognition technology to US police departments. The practice has drawn severe criticism in the wake of George Floyd’s death and also been brought to an abrupt end by Amazon, Microsoft and IBM this week.

Many stores have had a longstanding policy of locking up items that have high theft rates, such as batteries and razor blades. But experts say that locking up items catering to black customers, particularly in black neighborhoods, is widespread and retailers need to abolish it. They also say that stores lock up more items in black neighborhoods compared with white neighborhoods.

“If you lock up products for black people and you aren’t doing that for products for white customers, that is discriminatory,” said Neil Saunders, managing director at GlobalData Retail. “It is out of step with the times we are living now.”

It's not stealing you racist bastard, it's called reparations. Ministry of Truth will fine you for that, you'll be washing feet for the next week and they will be stanky feet.
