Starbuck's workers go on strike for 3 months.

Run out of money and say they want to work now.

Store is shut down.

Workers that protested are not eligible to transfer to locations.

That's gotta sting.

Imagine being a part time cashier or barista and actually going on strike as if you’re a professional

And holding out for 3 months. That means that being a barista must have been their whole life and whole identity.

Every other service industry worker worth a shite would have had a new job the following week.

Why the hell would you strike as a barista and not just quit to work as a barista for another company? I honestly can’t imagine that mind frame.

That’s what stupid commies get. They think a business exists to care care of them. They got a dose of reality.

Because they want to work as a barista, and get paid 50k+ a year with benefits. And no coffee shop is going to do that for a job meant for high school and college students

Because then you can't go on Facebook and talk about how you are on strike and get validation and support from other sickos and mentally ill people.

Once again an example of a liberal not being able to see past the end of their nose. but wait,,,,, they won't learn a lesson because they're not smart enough to figure it out.

What if I told you that was the plan all along for many of them? Government dependence without expectation to ever return to working is the end game for most of them.

There are people out there that no matter what amount of money/benefits/lifestyle you give them, they will focus on what you are not giving them. Its like the 90/10 rule with dating.

Is there any other food or beverage type of business that is more suited to automation to replace just about everyone at a location? Just need someone to reload and reconnect ingredients to a machine.

It’s not even high level automation. Starbucks had it already.. just waiting to roll it out I guarantee you.
