The struggling coffee chain has tapped Chipotle CEO Brian Niccol to be its new chairman and CEO, effective September 9. Starbucks’ stock soared more than 13% in premarket trading, while Chipotle’s dipped 8%.

Niccol has been leading the Mexican-inspired food chain since 2018, with Starbucks saying he has set “new standards in the industry and driven significant growth and value creation,” pointing to its revenue growing nearly 800% during his tenure.

    Spanish is a completely gendered language. None of them want or use the term Latinx, and they think people trying to use it are morons. The X in Latinx can’t even be conjugated in Spanish. The only ones trying to make Latinx a “thing” are Caucasians from the US.

      I work with a bunch of people who are Latinx who prefer it and think those who don’t use it are dinosaurs. Almost like people have different preferences.

        I can’t believe people are just coming here on the internet and telling lies. How could you?
