Starbucks CEO Says Stores Are No Longer Safe in Democrat-Run Seattle, Portland, Philadelphia, L.A., D.C.
American cities “have abdicated their responsibility in fighting crime,” said Starbucks CEO @Howard-Schultz, who is a Democratic donor.
“I must say, in my view at the local, state and federal level, these governments across the country and leaders, mayors and governors, city councils have abdicated their responsibility in fighting crime and addressing mental health,” Schultz said in a video posted on Twitter.
[...]
The Starbucks Corporation announced … that it is closing 16 stores in the U.S. because of safety concerns for workers, including incidents of violence and drug use on the premises.
The coffee retailer will close permanently six stores in Seattle, Washington, and six more in the Los Angeles, California, region. Two stores will shutter in Portland, Oregon, and one store each in Philadelphia and Washington, DC.
[...]
And so we’re listening to our people and closing stores and this is just the beginning,” Schultz said.
“There are going to be many more,” he said.

@mott-the-hoople saidOh, suddenly "affording" it is not the issue?
"affording" doesnt play a part...the violence is the problem
He's got to be a Republican. They make this sh-- up all the time. Violence in the Pacific Northwest? Yeah, sure, sure. Only the same old same old teen idiots on the loose. And he's so butt-hurt that he decides to leave town.
Trust me, it is because he CAN afford it off the money he overcharges people in this inflation cycle.
Maybe now the mom & pop coffee shops can have a chance.
Remember them? Hypocrite.
@jimm619 saidOkay, I can buy that, too.

@beowulf saidNonsense again,
Last year was Walgreens? closing due to thefts in demotard cities.
We will see more of this. 🤗
there is only one reason
retail stores close their doors----
They aren't concerned with your safety,
they're only concerned with the bottom line........

@earl-of-trumps saidSounds like BS; Starbucks was rapidly expanding 30 years ago when crime rates were far higher.

Woke companies always go with the delusional belief that people are good regardless of the people or the neighborhood.
Then they learn.
