Starbucks Social Response Scale-Back Initiative
More than a dozen Starbucks stores were vandalized overnight in San Francisco with phony "for lease" signs and letters saying the stores were closing.
In all 17 Starbucks were hit with the official-looking signs, mostly in the Tenderloin and South of Market neighborhoods. At many stores, the windows were soaped up and the locks were jammed, leaving employees waiting outside to start their shifts.
One flyer posted outside one store said, "We are moving over and making room for local coffee bars, our last best example of our commitment to fine coffee and local culture that got us into the business in the first place."
As of Tuesday morning, there had been no arrests.
