Philz CEO orders removal of flags from stores, including pride flags, to create an ‘inclusive experience’

Once a local gem, the private equity-owned coffee chain has pissed off staff and patrons with its anti-LGBTQ request

@divya getting rid of queer representation to "work towards a more inclusive experience" is utter bullshit.

@alice @divya exactly, this is the goose meme of “more inclusive for who? MORE INCLUSIVE FOR WHO MOTHERFUCKER???”

@alice @divya @caroline And even putting on my "soulless capitalist" hat for a second .... who removes a pride flag from the SF location? And not just San Francisco, but in the Castro District? Talk about not understanding your customers!

This is one of those decisions that is so utterly stupid it makes no sense from any perspective.
