4hw.com.cn: on May 17, local time, Starbucks announced that it would close about 8000 Direct stores in the United States on the afternoon of May 29, and provide training on "anti racial discrimination" for 170000 employees. On Monday, Starbucks CEO Kevin & middot; Johnson personally went to Philadelphia to apologize to two black people.

On December 12, the two black men tried to use the restroom when they were waiting for a friend at Starbucks in Philadelphia. The manager found that they didn't spend money in the shop and refused to leave, so he called the police and arrested them with handcuffs when they arrived.

In recent days, the incident triggered protests from the American people, many people called for a boycott of Starbucks. The manager of Starbucks in Philadelphia has been fired after a large number of protesters refused to leave and the store was forced to close. On the 15th, Kevin & Middleton Johnson, CEO of Starbucks, said in an apology letter that the way Starbucks employees report to the police is wrong, which does not represent the concept and values of Starbucks. The letter also said Starbucks would take this matter seriously and reflect on it, so as to deal with emergencies more properly. But Johnson's apology did not quell doubts. Many people still gathered outside the chain store to protest.
