Description

Starbucks in South Korea will close all 2000 of its stores for half a day so staff can have a mandatory history and social sensitivity lesson. It comes after the company launched a 'Tank Day' reusable cup promotion on the anniversary of the Gwangju Uprising, which was a pro-democracy massacre in 1980. The promotion led to protests and calls for boycotts across the country. Subscribe: http://ab.co/1svxLVE Note: In most cases, our captions are auto-generated. #ABCNEWS #ABCNEWSAustralia
