Leaving Cheyenne on Nostr: "Starbucks said it is unaware of any of its stores banning pride decorations and ...

"Starbucks said it is unaware of any of its stores banning pride decorations and pointed out that its stores across the US have been sharing their pride decorations on social media. The coffee giant explained that company policy allows store leaders to decorate stores as they wish for heritage months, including LGBTQ+ pride month, as long as stores adhere to safety guidelines, CNN reports.

"We unwaveringly support the LGBTQIA2+ community. There has been no change to any policy on this matter and we continue to encourage our store leaders to celebrate with their communities including for US Pride month in June," a Starbucks spokesperson said.

However, Starbucks Workers United said on Twitter that based on internal documents and testimonies from store managers, Starbucks' "own responses have not been consistent." The stores accused of banning pride decorations are in conservative states such as Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Missouri."

So the managers in OK, AR and MO saw what happened with Bud Light and decided to dial it back. Instead of grieving or picketing the offending stores, the union took it nationwide.

Remember the weepy little TIF sitting on the floor in back complaining about too many customers? Is she happy now?
