Holy shit.
First is the loss in revenue from a corporate shut down.
Then add in the number of Starbucks employees who quit because of this. Every “bias training” syllabus I’ve looked at online can be summed up with “check your privilege you terrible, racist white person.”
Some Starbucks employees may stand for that but I sure as shit wouldn’t tolerant having my employer call me a racist because I’m white.
So Starbucks is going to close during normal business hours to torture it’s employees for social justice credibility.
Second:
Dick’s Sporting Goods to destroy all unsold firearms pulled from shelves after Parkland shooting.
I don’t want to know how much value in inventory that is.
Sure the manufacturers are happy the product wasn’t returned since they are still getting paid, but Dick’s is literally talking a chop saw to corporate money.
Not to mention how many more customers are going to be driving away from a comp being that political.
This is nothing but virtue signaling of the most expensive kind.
Have either of these companies’ executive teams heard the phrase “fiduciary duty” before?
Are they aware they have a legal responsibility to thier share holders not to deliberately make money losing decisions?
I wonder how woke management must be to come up with a plan that will alienate half thier customers, drive away good employees, destroy inventory, and lose revenue and still go through with it?
What share holders need to do is start suing these managers. Maybe when the CEOs are forced to empty their bank accounts to pay damages to the investors they will learn virtue signaling is bad corporate policy.
Well, they let the SJW’s bend them over a table and have their way freely.
So, nope. No cat turds will be given for their “wokeness.” Fresh out.
The only fault I can find with your comments is the use of “it’s” instead of its.
However, my 11th grade English teacher was a justifiable tyrant, for which I am eternally grateful.
Also, Starbucks has horrible coffee.
Russia, China, North Korea, and any other oppressive country. The US is starting to look like them. You can be killed for no reason, jailed for no reason, your free speech gone, freedom of religion gone, freedom of association gone, freedom of criticizing any nationality or religion, I could go on, but why bother none of that will change with the present mind-set of Americans (maybe) where they accept anything even if it’s against the law.. Stay tuned (if we still have TV and radio) to get any fake news and you swallow it gladly!
Isnt it time We the People stand up and say no more? Why do some sit there and whine that “free speech is gone, freedom of religion is gone” , and they do nothing? It aint over yet. More and more are standing up. Any business that caves to sjw let them know We the People will no longer spend money with them.
I smell a lot of spin on Dick’s gun destruction. “Instead of sending them back to the manufacturer”–is that even an option if they aren’t defective? Wikipedia says that Field and Stream only has about 30-35 stores and they’ve had 2 months since their initial “won’t restock” announcement–is there anything left, or did they save the last two guns for this publicity stunt?
