    The Spin

    Right narrative

    In an attempt to "go woke" and appease the left's anti-policing agenda, Starbucks made its customers and employees vulnerable to dangerous criminals and drug users. The irony is that most of these complaints came from the liberal customers and employees of these Democrat-run cities.

    Left narrative

    This is another example of large corporate chains closing in poor or minority neighborhoods. They say it's because of an increase in thefts or other crimes, but the real reason is the profits from these locations aren't lucrative enough so have left local customers and employees in the dust. The timing amidst the unionization push is suspicious as well to say the least.
