If you’re a coffee drinker in America, odds are you’ve heard about the more than 8,000 Starbucks locations that will close during the afternoon of Tuesday, May 29, for racial-bias training. This comes after news that two black men were arrested in a Philadelphia Starbucks on April 12 went viral.

The arrest was quickly condemned by Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson; the company later announced it would be closing its stores for half a day so that its employees could undergo training that aimed to "address implicit bias, promote conscious inclusion, prevent discrimination and ensure everyone inside a Starbucks store feels safe and welcome." Yet this outcome apparently hasn’t satisfied all of its consumers. In fact, several white customers took to social media to voice their complaints that the company would dare close its stores for an afternoon.

“So now millions of people can’t have Starbucks?? It was one incident in a country with thousands of locations. Rare accidents are going to happen. Talk to all employees for 10 minutes to make sure it doesn’t happen again and then get back to work,” one commenter wrote on Facebook. Another echoed those sentiments, saying, “Another company that caves to a few whiners. Stand your ground and let the paying customers have their coffee on May 29th. In these times, everybody is offended."

Rather than let these complaints and comments slide under the radar, Starbucks has been using these moments to continue the conversation on race relations. “There are countless examples of implicit bias resulting in discrimination against people of color, both in and outside our stores,” the Starbucks account wrote in response to one user. “Addressing bias is crucial in ensuring that all of our customers feel safe and welcome in our stores.”

In a thread that has since gone viral, a Twitter user named Ty, who identifies as a Starbucks employee, shut down the complaints of white customers who are upset about having to go without their coffee because of the racial-bias training. He also suggested using this day to educate Starbucks consumers “about racial bias in this country because they also seem to be so blinded by their privilege, they can't even see this bigger picture of just how bad racism is in America.”

Similar sentiments were echoed in interviews with several non-white Starbucks employees who spoke with Business Insider.
