None of us know the details, but each of us has filled the void with "what most likely happened" based upon our own personal worldview, so we can argue about it on social media which conveniently spreads the story so more people can see how virtuous SBUX is for taking such dramatic corrective action (all SBUX locations closed on the same day, interrupting routine customer behavior to make a point about how virtuous they're being here).
Does anyone else kinda just hate all capital-B Brands now, as they increasingly pull this crap? Or is everyone else falling for it, actually having their opinions about these Brands influenced by the grand public gestures they make, spending tons of money on PR people to spin said gestures in the most positive way possible?
Is there really a secret anti-black undercurrent in the management staff in any reasonable number of SBUX locations, such that this grand gesture of corrective action actually has any demonstrable effect on anything at all, aside from making people think more positively about SBUX as a brand?
