All Starbucks Stores in Korea to Close Early on Monday for Sensitivity Training
I guess this is how Starbucks Korea is trying to end criticism of the failed Tank Day event by holding mandatory sensitivity training:
Starbucks Korea will close all of its stores nationwide early Monday to provide employee training aimed at improving historical awareness and social sensitivity, following a controversial promotion linked to the 1980 pro-democracy uprising in Gwangju.
All 2,160 stores across the country will close at 3 p.m. It marks the first time Starbucks Korea has ended operations early nationwide since opening its first outlet in 1999.
Starbucks Korea, operated by E-Mart Inc., a unit of Shinsegae Group, launched an online “Tank Day” promotion on May 18, the anniversary of the Gwangju pro-democracy uprising. The event was suspended within hours after drawing widespread public criticism.
