SEATTLE, Wash. (CNN) – Starbucks stores across the country will close Tuesday afternoon for company-wide diversity training.
The coffee giant will train over 175,000 employees to better identify and prevent prejudices and bias.
This comes after two black men were arrested in a Philadelphia store for using the bathroom back in April.
Starbucks also says the techniques their employees learn will be used to train new hires in the future.
