#3 No impact on sales in China, as far as I can tell. Oh wait, 'nationwide', never-mind ...

#7 Perhaps I'm missing something here. In my defense the article wasn't very clear.

One afternoon = 1/2 day. 1 quarter=91 days. One afternoons's lost sales divided by 1 quarter is about half a percent.

So are they talking about total sales across non-coffeeshop establishments, including the closed stores (in which case why are they also talking about 1% growth)?

At any rate, it is impossible for me to boycott Starbucks coffee.

#8 starbucks closing afternoon was only for company owned stores

the stores that are licensed, e.g., the ones in airports, hotels, did not close that afternoon

also the seattle's best stores (a subsidiary of starbucks) which are franchised, did not close that afternoon

#9 "Starbucks says anti-bias training hurt sales"
So what are they saying, "We need to continue to be racist because anti-training hurts profits?

#10 SB is virtue-signaling to cover up for any future business problems. Whatever works.
