Doors at area Starbucks glued shut by protesters
Copyright 2003 Houston Chronicle News ServicesEmployees at as many as 16 area Starbucks were greeted Sunday morning with stores whose doors had been glued shut, police said, in objection to the ubiquitous chain's "corporate coffee."
Protesters placed glue in the locks at several stores in central and western Houston and left behind fliers.
"I bet you are wondering why your local Starbucks is closed this morning," one read, according to Houston Police Department spokesman Alvin Wright. Attempts to reach officials with Starbucks on Sunday were unsuccessful.
"This dispute appears to be part of an ongoing conflict between these individuals and the chain," Wright said.
Employees were able to unseal the locks and opened for business as scheduled, Wright said.
