I guess doing a hashtag cause and telling employees to preach to other white customers about "race together" is much cheaper than paying the exorbitant rates for the insurance required to build Starbucks in black communities.
It won't be cheaper when their customers start avoiding Starbucks in droves because they don't want to be hectored about race by some pimply faced kid who probably doesn't even have a college diploma.
Baristas need a diploma??
Points for using the verb hector though. I'm impressed.
