This is the kind of shite Starbucks will have to get used to ever since caving to unionizing. Nobody is putting a gun to these workers heads and making them work there, but wearing a tshirt and jeans is apparently the worst thing to happen in their privileged lives and it's absolutely out of the question for them to go work anywhere else.

Starbucks did this to themselves and I don't feel bad for them. Embrace what you've created.

I give them credit for identifying a genius business model.

They’ve realized most people don’t actually like coffee so they buy the cheapest beans and over roast them for consistency (that’s why they’re straight black coffee tastes like arse) and then dump copious amounts of sugar, milk, creamer etc into their shitty coffee and sell it at $6-$10 a cup.

And people eat that shite up bc they “gotta have their coffee” when it’s really a coffee flavored milkshake

I had their coffee this weekend for the first time in a very long time and I haven't missed a thing. That crap tastes horrible compared to PJ's and other regional brands I've had like Scooters.

Starbucks over-roasts their non-blonde beans. Also stop giving money to people that hate you AND are not local.

If I’m striking, what I wear is the last thing I’m fighting for.

Have you seen the shite these people order at Starbucks? I’d blame it on women but there’s beta males ordering these ridiculous drinks too.

The issue with Starbucks is the customization. People can get it however they want instead of getting it how Starbucks makes it. I get a black pike place coffee every time I go. Occasionally I’ll get the same thing but iced.

Am I also to assume that these 1,000 are in union stores?


Union coffee shops???

How interesting. I wonder how one progresses through the apprenticeship program to become a journeyman barista.

Well looks like it’s time to automate the coffee stand and put them all out of a job.

So they have to wear uniforms AND start paying back their student loans again? If this isn’t some form of oppression then I don’t know what is. I hope the government sends in a bunch of coloring books and stuffed animals……plus

They're protesting being asked to not look like a freak?

They’ve gone their entire life never having been told “no”. Now they’re in the real world and when they finally are told “no”, they can’t handle it. The sad truth is a vast number of young people today have little hope of ever becoming functional adults.
