Call on Starbucks to End Discrimination in the Workplace
Sign Now
Whereas Starbucks management has fired two baristas, Aisha Syed and Benita Singh for wearing nose studs in the work place,
Whereas, Starbucks dress code in this regard is insensitive to the cultural value of this ornament for South Asian women and to the policy of multiculturalism in Canada,
Whereas, Starbucks dismissal of Aisha and Banita is an unjustifiable discrimination against their culture and their democratic right to affirm their cultural identity,
And whereas, Starbucks dress code prohibiting its employees to wear nose rings contradicts its own diversity statement, which states that embracing diversity is the right thing to do socially and ethically,
We, the undersigned, petition Starbucks to be true to its mission statement declaring its commitment to provide a non-discriminatory working environment irrespective of race, class, gender, and ethnicity, to change its dress code to make it consistent with this principle, and apologize to the women they have fired.

Starbucks states they are into customer service and giving the customer what they want...which I can tell you FROM EXPERIENCE WITH HEAD OFFICE that it is definetly not true for they DO NOT CARE about the customer. They only care about the dollar they can

I am appalled by your antiquated mentality. Your business principles are still part of an old world colonial regime and I will never again patronise any Starbucks establishment. I will certainly encourage as many people as I can to participate in this boy

Nose studs should not be in any way regarded as offensive to customer service anywhere.
