STARBUCKS TO SHUT 8,000 STORES IN US TO TRAIN STAFF ON RACIAL TOLERANCE

Following accusations of racial profiling at a Starbucks coffee store in Philadelphia last week, the world’s biggest coffee company has decided to train its employees on racial tolerance. Around 1,75,000 employees of the company will undergo training in the afternoon on May 29 when 8,000 stores of Starbucks will remain closed. Earlier last week, social media erupted in anger and a boycott campaign was trending following the arrest of two black men at a Starbucks store in Philadelphia.
