He’s a stealth democrat presidential contenter, trying to show concern.

The theme is switching. It used to be the baristas encouraged their customers to "race together."

Now they are going to suggest to their customers "lets try living a minimum-wage lifestyle together."

I hope Starbucks goes broke. Wouldn’t that be a laugh and poetic justice!

“It takes a Starbucks to raise a village!”

Caffeine and anxiety, caffeine and anxiety...nope, no connection there.

If they are that worried, they shouldn’t be overpaying for that bad Starbuck’s coffee.

You know what else stresses out Starbucks customers? Too much caffeine.

Raising the price of burned coffee is something they would do, too.

Does this mean if I get a coffee at Starbucks tomorrow the baristas will let me order in English?

I only get my coffee there when there are no other choices and I always order in English. Starbucks is the worst. Just sell me some coffee - - keep your political and social justice opinions to yourself.

Yes it would! Add in Ben and Jerry’s and I’d be a happy woman, for a day at least.
