Starbucks Starbucks Smithfield, North Carolina , North Carolina Workers have a problem serving black customers Smithfield North Carolina

Starbucks workers needs to get and accept that African Americans drink coffee from the establishment and demand to be treated equally. Smithfield, North Carolina has an abysmal history of disparaging and discriminatory treatment towards black people and the vast majority of its residents voted for Trump. These residents are largely white working poor and view upper middle-class black people as the reason why they are being left behind. 

However, taking their angry out on black customers when they do not own the business is detrimental as well as antithetical to the social values in which Starbucks as an organization has tried implementing. Closing stores nationwide for racial sensitivity training only scratched the surface of their problem. Starbucks needs to clean house and begin with its location in Smithfield, North Carolina. Those people do not hide the fact that they do not like waiting on black customers.
