UnfairRepresent 06/11/20 6:13:26 PM #52:	He has a point. I can comprehend "We don't want to make political statements." But going "We will promote GLAAD but you cannot promote BLM" seems a little odd.... I guess the argument is that there are still laws that discriminate against gay people but officially no laws that discriminate against black people? Still it's a weird hill to die on --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:940522162] in Starbucks ...

Tenlaar 06/11/20 6:14:44 PM #53:	A blanket stance of no non-company messaging while at work, be that political or religious, is totally fine. The obvious hypocrisy of a company that goes big for pride month saying that employees can't wear BLM messaging because it's divisive is bullshit and worth calling them out for. <cite>Tenlaar posted [p:940522260] in Starbucks ...

sktgamer_13dude 06/11/20 8:28:48 PM #59:	HiddenRoar posted... Thinking that using more plastics for their new lids is better because the trade-off is "no more straws!" is dumb, as the crux of the problem has always been the use of plastics and their resistance to degradation in general. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2018/06/plastic-planet-animals-wildlife-impact-waste-pollution/ Educate yourself. Youre mashing like 10 different things together. Just because theres pushes to use less plastics in places where we can and a push to use less straws doesnt mean that using slightly more plastic to get rid of straws is bad.
