    What’s woke coffee? Every coffee joint I can think of, diners and artisanal shops excluded, are the union bustingest, republican donatingest, fair weather friends in the world.

      Black Rifle coffee, I’m assuming. The American coffee with guns on the cans.

          I actually bought a bag of their beans after they publically distanced themselves from him. It wasn’t bad I guess, nothing spectacular. Although I’m giving up coffee slowly, probably wont buy another bag.

      Starbucks goes pretty left. Shops generally speaking idk i think you’re right…now the roasters, the bean brokers, the plantations…I’ve seen bits of left ideology here & there. The main thing I care about is: can you make a good bean? Does it taste good? There was one bean out of Africa, had all this FairTrade feel-good stuff behind it. Tasted a cup of the brew & I’m like…pack it up, boys. This isn’t even good coffee. ¯\(°_o)/¯

        Starbucks is the poster boy for saying one thing and doing another. Their marketing and damage control cost less than accepting employee demands.

          Oh idk about all of that. I don’t go to Char bucks unless I have to. I do know this: holy shit they have some good benefits for their employees. I think they pay well for schooling, and I know for a fact a young man quit his job at a lumberyard to become a Starbucks barista. Why? Among other things, to get good healthcare for his entire fucking family. By being a Starbucks barista!

          …it doesn’t really make sense to me, either, but he did what he had to do & seemed generally happy with the arrangement.
