Starbucks, battling an uproar over the arrest of two black
men while they were waiting for a friend at one of the coffee chain’s Philadelphia stores
last week, said Tuesday it would close more than 8,000 of its company-owned
stores in the United States
for several hours on May 29 to provide “racial bias” training for nearly
175,000 employees. While not the first time the coffee giant has decided to
close all of its company-owned stores, the move underscores how important the
company sees the addition of a type of training that has exploded in popularity
in recent years.
Yet while some diversity experts applauded the decision —
especially the bold move to close stores to carry out the training — others
expressed surprise that Starbucks was not already offering such a program to
store managers.
I can't see this happening at the Llandudno Starbucks somehow
