Woke coffee shop gets taken down by even more woke staff
The Libs of Tik Tok brings us a funny tale in which a woke coffee shop, pushing equity, got taken down as the gentrifying racist Bourgeoisie by their even more woke staff. Their list of “demands” is the best. Then, instead of telling these uppity employees to go find work elsewhere, they give into their demands. Clown. World.
From Libs of Tik Tok;
Queer-owned business shut down by employees for not being woke enough
Mina’s World, a cafe in Philadelphia that prided itself in being “Queer-owned,” has officially closed its doors after a woke employee revolt. The cafe was owned by Kate Egghart and Sonam Parikh, two queer activists who started Mina’s in an effort to create an inclusive coffee shop. However, their employees have claimed Egghart and Parikh are anti-black and “gentrifiers.” Gentrifier is a woke term used to describe those who purposely contribute to the displacement of low-income families. Mina’s World was located just around the corner from Malcolm X Park in Philadelphia and employed mostly minority workers.
Ironically— prior to the allegations from employees—Parikh spoke to Bon Appetit about the opening of Mina’s World and said when she worked at different coffee shops, “white ownership neglected to protect their Black and trans employees. I knew there needed to be a space where you could have an amazingly made cup of coffee that’s not whitewashed.”
Fast forward two years and employees of Mina’s World have put out a public statement where they claimed they were suffering from a plethora of “systemic” woes as a result of the alleged gentrification including “employer opposition” and “anti-blackness.”
Employees expanded on these woes in their public “List of Grievances” which is basically a bunch of empty buzzwords to generate outrage and included no substantial evidence to back up their claims.
As if it couldn’t get any worse, the employees also demanded that the owners “redistribute the business” to them.
Egghart and Parikh responded to their employees’ demands in a hostage-style video in which they repeatedly apologized for being gentrifiers. Egghart spoke next to Parikh saying, “We’re going live as part of a radical accountability process. We’re complicit in the gentrification and anti-blackness on 52nd Street. We put our community at risk with our presence as well as our workers.”
The two owners agreed to attempt to hand over ownership of Mina’s saying, “With the guidance of the workers and Black and Brown Workers Collective, we’re trying to raise funds to buy the business and turn it over to our staff.”
The hostile takeover quickly backfired on the woke employees as the owner of the building where Mina’s World is housed listed the property for sale.
Despite the owners of Mina’s World being radically progressive, with Philly Eats even calling the cafe a “queer haven,” Egghart and Parikh were still cannibalized by the woke mob and Mina’s World has officially closed its doors for good this week.
Egghart and Parikh’s surrender to the outrage shows a point proven again and again— no matter how many times you bend the knee to the mob, you will never be able to adhere to their insatiable standards for progressive enlightenment. No matter how much of an “ally” you are, you will never be safe from becoming just another trophy head on the wall of wokeism.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
My thought exactly. Well said. And you beat me to it.
Re-distribute the business? We’re closing. How well can you re-distribute zero? Have fun.

They did the unthinkable; they divided by Zero…
Listen, you…Chuck Norris can divide by zero!
Chuck Norris ordered a Big Mac at KFC and got it!
Re-distribution resulted in everyone owning 100% of nothing. But they got it boy, that makes them the winner!
Everyone is Tiger Man McCool!
I remember my father telling me a story of “long ago”…..a man had a business in a small town, kept the town well employed, and paid well enough. A union came in and wanted to unionize the workers. The workers all agreed. So the union and workers then went to the owner with a list of demands (higher this & that, more of the other). The owner asks, “haven’t I treated you well over the years? this what you’all really want?” Unionized employees all say “AYE!” Owner then promptly retires and shuts down the plant and moves it to Somewhere Else & sells off the equipment. Bye-bye plant, employment, wages, benefits.
The same thing happened in Frantic City with one of Trump’s casinos. He sold it off, and the casino workers told the new owner if he did not meet their demands, they would strike. He said if they strike, he would close the casino. They went on strike. He closed the casino. You should have heard them bitching about losing their jobs.
And to the benefit of those employees, they no longer have jobs.
Congratulations Brown And Darker Shaded Workers Collective and Hot Dog Stand; you’ve done it again.
Sounds like things are running smooth as butter down on Animal Farm.
Nope!
Hey, I think I went to high school with this guy …
Looks more like your prom date to me, CW.

Was the coffee any good?
Doesn’t matter in the “woke” world of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and “stakeholder capitalism” where supply, demand and making a profit aren’t a concern!
“…the wildest hippie and the sternest member of the Politburo shared the same daydream, the daydream that underlies all Marxism: that a thing might be somehow worth other than what people will give for it. This is just not true. And any system that bases itself on such a will-o’-the-wisp is bound to fail. Communes don’t work. Cuba doesn’t either.” –P.J. O’Rourke

He’s laughing. Because he and Juan still have jobs.
You mean AOC has a brother?!
They’d likely answer that the very idea of “good coffee” is a racist, sexist and homophobic concept. Who’s to say that coffee has to “taste good” anyway? 😜
Waiting for some enterprising veteran to open a new coffee shop called “The TOC” [Tactical Operations Center for those of you that don’t speak Army.] No tables, just a bunch of folding metal chairs, all of which are damaged in some way. Instead of music, there will be a nonstop drone of generators sprinkled with incomprehensible radio noise. Coffee will be served out of a percolator that is filled on Monday and then kept plugged in throughout the week, with coffee and water being added at random intervals until the entire pot is filled with a black concentration of paint remover. Now THAT would be a coffee shop! 😂
Instead of donuts have the bread puck from a B1 unit.
SOS on holidays and special occasions. Biscuits and gravy may be substituted.
Don’t forget a stylish basket full of John Wayne bars on the counter next to the cash register.
John Wayne bars, the confection so gross the government wouldn’t even put them in a C-rat meal.
Ahh, the little can with a white, bread-like hockey puck. In over ten years of eating C-rats, I can’t recall seeing anyone eating one of those.
I’m assuming it will not be a “gun free” zone? More of a “weapons free” zone? 😉
Long guns checked into the rack by the door.

Self serve on the coffee and a crusty old E7-E9 as the cashier. Then when some hipster soy boy with a man bun walks in looking for a latte watch the sparks fly.
Kinda like an old western movie when a sheepherder walks into the saloon…
I’m picturing a trophy wall… man buns mounted on plaques, with the date it was taken.
I’d Love that job…
You know, my wife was looking for an income-generating opportunity. This just might be it. Include a bottle of random whiskey in the bottom right-hand drawer of a shitty, government issued desk and we may have something. Also, a bunch of mis-matched, coffee-stained mugs.
But serve Black Rifle Coffee.
Well, maybe I can help the wife out with a few stock numbers to get things started:
7105-269-8463 Chair, Folding, Gray w/o Arms
7310-144-4707 Percolator, 30 Cup, 115v
7110-656-1110 Desk, Field, w/Folding Stool
8965-107-3727 Whisky, Straight, 50% Alcohol
8955-272-1922 Roasted Coffee
8465-242-7843 Cup, Canteen, M1910 Original Blade Handle Style, (not with butterfly handle)/smile
For the convivence of the wait staff the tables could be marked, S-1, S-2, S-3 etc.
The complete opposite of this:

How does the place stay in business? Don’t communists depend on someone else to pay?
Do you know the difference between capitalism and communism?
Under capitalism, man exploits man.
Under communism, it is the other way around.

Just like the messhall!
Trendy hip homos screwed over by their mental midget non workers. I love it. but it leaves me no one to root for.
I too am conflicted. There are a lot of competing emotions swirling around and banging into each other like ping pong balls in a Bingo machine. I’m still hoping for clarity as the one I should focus on gets sucked up the tube.
The building owner who put the shop up for sale and ended this nonsense. That’s who I’m rooting for.
He probably got stiffed on rent, and the “new owners” will rip out all of the copper wiring.
Truly the proverbial circular firing squad.
Kind of like choosing sides in the Iran – Iraq War.
Go woke, go broke. Doncha just love it when they consume their own?
Kinda like that mythical snake that bites it’s own tail and consumes itself.
BWUUUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…
I couldn’t make shit like that up if I tried! I love watching moonbats cannibalize each other, they say they’re going to start a revolution while at least 95% of them can’t even start a lawnmower!
Both sides went full snowflake.
Never go full snowflake.
I just love it, this shit can’t get any better
To create an oversimplification, there are basically two kinds of people in this world – the Constructionists, that favor building things that are either material in nature or based on concepts, rules and guidance that we can all get along as a whole. Then, there are the Destructionalists, who like to tear down convention believing that they and others will benefit from a new order. Oddly enough, just like the carnivore depends on the plant eater for survival, the Destructionalists would not exist without the Constructionalists.

Sounds like Ayn Rand’s “creators” and “looters” (Atlas Shrugged”.
I agree.
Her books were every bit as prophetic as 1984, Fahrenheit 451 and Brave New World.
A useful idiot never thinks they are a useful idiot.
Or they don’t realize that their usefulness has an expiration date.. (see also cindy sheehan)
Homer Simpson could have never written this script…
Stupid does once again on display at a closed up business in a gentrified area of America !!!
How dare they gentrify an area! They should leave it to the feral residents and the destruction they apparently enjoy!
African Americans moving into a predominantly white neighborhood = Good.
White people moving into a predominantly African American neighborhood = Bad.
Any questions?
Looks like Egghart’s mommy owns the building and was subsidizing her little girl’s coffee shop. Apparently, enough was enough and mommy decided to shut down the gravy train. Unfortunately, I suspect neither Egghart or Parikh will learn anything from this and blame their failure on the patriarchy, gentrification, systemic racism, homophobia, etc. etc.
NOTHING is ever a liberal’s fault, just ask one. I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to blame Donald Trump!
It’s just more…”evidence”…for the House January 6
ClusterfuckCommitteeWokeism in this case sounds an awful lot like Communism. They as the owners were clearing taking more from the business than the employees, and therefore it needed to be handed over to the “staff” to run as a Co-Op…however as in most Communist undertakings they have no understanding of how to actually run the shop, nor how much it actually cost to run it and therefore run it in to the ground without profit…and close!
True that.
Now this is “stakeholder” whatever, etc. that “woke” businesses (like Disney) believe their employees and customers demand because somebody “progressive” (no agenda there, /sarc) told ’em so.

The left destroys everything it touches. Everything. We can only hope they keep touching each other.
Oh wait, they do that already….
Especially with little kids (plus grooming drag shows) they demand we celebrate now.
See: monkeypox
They want to have mask and testing hysteria for that now, too.
I wonder if the employees drink it black?
If you put cream, sugar, or whatevr in the coffee it changes its color.
Is that not racist?
Ahh, the shitty of brotherly (sisterly?) love… It’s a great place to be FROM
Now that’s FUUUNY!!

Haaahaaa! I just love Woke Blue on Blue casualties 🤣
The more woke you go, the more broke you go!
Redistribute THIS
When a list of grievances contains an item followed by “etc etc” you know you’re dealing with fucking idiots.
Either lay it all out or shove it right back up your asses….
Hack Stone likes his coffee like he likes his woman, big, black and indignant.
Some dudes pay good money for that…..
Hack Stone misses the days when buying a cup of coffee was just buying a cup of coffee, and not some show of solidarity with the downtrodden. Coffee shops, especially those with a “social message”, sure know how to scam the white liberals, charging $7.00 or more for a product that costs the owner $0.30 to brew.
So, they don’t sell “conflict free” coffee?
I like mine strong, black and full of conflict.
Makes you shit as well after a long night of drinking.
Have a smoke or a fat dip, two cups of Army coffee and clean it out before the 12/18 miler.
Clean it out. Don’t want to have gut bubbles half way through….
I like my coffee as black as my soul.
Reminds ol” Poe of that downhome warning his ol’ grandpa was fond of, “Give ’em an inch, lil’ Poe, and fer damned sure certain, they gonna try to take a mile,” demonstrated in all its glorious real-life application.
Let’s hope the Democrats never learn the lesson… 😜
…So you try again, and your retarded system fails…
So at the end of the day, the owner of the property sold off the land where the coffee shop was. Friggin’ awesome!
Let the gentrification begin!
