on Wednesday that the coffee chain would not allow its employees to wear Black Lives Matter clothing or accessories, and management justified the decision by saying that such items could be misunderstood and incite violence. While Starbucks has a policy against wearing personal, political or religious clothing or accessories, workers told Buzzfeed that the company hands out buttons and attire celebrating LGBTQ rights and marriage equality.
Now, Starbucks will be doing the same for Black Lives Matter. The chain will make 250,000 shirts with a design that includes "Black Lives Matter" and "No Justice, No Peace" available to workers in its company-owned cafes in the United States and Canada. The company said that it began planning to provide shirts for employees last week.Starbucks design for the t-shirt they're going to be giving to employees.In early June, as protesters filled the streets of U.S.
After Buzzfeed reported the chain's policy, consumers on social media began calling for boycotts of the coffee chain, which has drawn fire in the past for racial insensitivity that contradicts its progressive reputation. In 2018, Starbucks closed down cafes across the country for an afternoon of racial bias training after police arrested two Black men at one of its Philadelphia locations for sitting down without ordering anything.

Bye bye Starbucks. Your coffee is overpriced and not that good. You’ll never get my business again.
No more Starbucks for me. I want an overpriced cup of coffee, not political BS when I’m there.
Dunkin Donuts is good coffee.
Can Starbucks workers wear MAGA hats?
You will never get my business again.
I suppose enough consumers have spoken to make Starbucks realize that it will affect their profits and bottom line.
Does that include free coffee for all BLM's?
A religion.
Sell Starbucks
I’ll be ordering more Nespresso
No dignity from antifa blm isis alqueda

Can workers wear Maga apparel
yasssssssss!! Good job Starbucks
Why can’t employees wear the company uniform as is, and wear whatever they want - including “Black Lives Matters” apparel - when they’re not at work?
Another political company...
Sociall Justice thugs
Will they allow All Lives Matter apparel? 😂
Layoffs coming
I need a coffee.. Could careless of what they're wearing. Black, Yellow, Brown, White... Give me my fcking coffee
Ha! I love how these companies reverse their positions when they know it's going to affect their bottom line.
That’s fine, I’ll stay and sip my coffee with a White Lives Matter shirt on!
Then it should also allow all other bits of cosmetic jewelry including religious items. Biased if not
Does that apply to ALL politically related speech? Because if it doesn't, they should prepare to be sued
Next will be no dress code at all... really ignorant
Will the baristas have to go for a day long sensitivity training like last time?
Anyone wearing any movement they support on their t-shirt should not be disciplined then, and if so, please file a lawsuit.
Racism solved
Who’s losing their job at corporate today? 🤣😂🤣😂🙄☕️☕️☕️

Have they fired the PR guy yet?
Does anyone know who BLM money goes to? People need to wake up and learn more about this hypocrisy. They are fueling the DNC. Such a joke, use it for it purpose.
You'll be closing A LOT more stores with this 'political' move, SBUX!!! I don't own your stock and never will...oh, and your coffee sucks!!!!!!!!!!
WELL they going to let that wonder if they will allow mega shirts if there employers want to wear them. IF NOT this could be interesting for a law suit.
