As I was stopped at a light on Snelling and Selby in St. Paul, MN, I witnessed a group of about 15-20 employees protesting outside of the corner Starbucks. They are heard chanting "Hey Howard you can't hide, we can see your racist side!" referring to the Ethiopian immigrant ‘Aizze’ who was supposedly unjustly fired after working there for 2 years. Full story on the Starbucks Union website: http://tcsbuxunion.com/2009/08/11/justice-for-aizze-defend-an-immigrant-worke...

By the time I drove back around 15 minutes later, they had disbursed already.

  • What a bunch of losers. Get some real problems, please.

  • Um . . . addis11100? Do you know why they are protesting and calling this store "racist?" Because they fired an employee- who happened to be Ethiopian- for stealing from the store. She was caught on tape... went through the proper channels... and was fired. The woman leading this protest is a college grad with nothing more to do then lead a protest to try and start a "barrista union." If you are going to stop drinking at Starbucks, do it because of the price....

  • we have to stop drinking in starbucks if starbucks is victimizing its employes.
