You know how easy it is to be a barrista? There is no skill involved at all.

I don't get it.

The baristas are uniting to shut down coffee shops in the middle of a city wide shutdown of places like coffee shops?

It’s not that hard to make a cup of coffee. Exactly what are they planning on shutting down? My Keurig still works.

I want to create a Twitter and ask if the coffee shop is still open. I need a coffee before I can protest.

$15/hr hazard pay to make fricking coffee? Hospital workers didn't get that.

ETA: And they're surprised they're treated as disposable when they are ... disposable. Get a life skill that makes you indispensable and you won't have that issue. Any a-hole can make a cup of coffee..

They're demanding reinstatement to that coffee shop?

Were they fired for some reason or laid off due to COVID impacts on revenue?

So they want all workers and employed people to show support, but do it in the middle of the work day?

It's to go only. No one is allowed to stay in the cafe.

I’m well aware. That’s not a shutdown.

The term essential worker is a joke.
