, Starbucks cited the grease trap as the reason for the store closure.


The grease trap is the cause of the union strike and the business closing.

Lets ban grease traps.

I’ll just say this...I’ve probably been in forty-odd Starbucks over the past decade (counting airports in the mix), and there were two or three in particular (in NYC) that were fairly ratty/rundown. I suspect if you graded conditions at all of them....ten-percent would be places that ought to be shutdown or renovated.

I’d also suggest that in Europe...most coffee shops offer superior coffee at a lesser price...so Starbucks is at a disadvantage with a lot of people.

“How does someone ‘illegally’ close a store? “

The fact it is considered ‘illegal’ to close a business in certain circumstances helps explain why we’re no longer king of the hill.

And should help EVERYONE understand who no conservative should ever be pro-union (perhaps with the exception of certain law enforcement agencies).

Who knew that Starbucks uses grease traps?

The typical union response of “that’s not my job” is probably the reason for the fouled grease trap. If a diligent employee took it upon himself to clean it the shop steward would have come down on him for adding a task to their job description.

Starbucks cited the grease trap as the reason for the store closure.

So they're going to either tear down the building or at a minimum sell the building and stick someone else with the repairs to avoid a few hours of nasty plumbing? Sorry, they shut down one restaurant to kill the local union as a warning to other locations. I might not like the law, but you can't do that.

According to “Zippia”, these are the benefits provided to Starbucks workers...very generous for a coffee shop worker, and not surprising given the left wing politics of Starbucks leadership. Actual wages vary by state/city. Efforts to unionize are yet another reminder that no good deed goes unpunished, and the fact that workers tend to be 100% ignorant of the costs of running a business.

STARBUCKS BENEFITS PACKAGE

The company offers many of the common benefits that come with a full-time professional position. Some of the benefits that Starbucks extends to its employees include:

Medical, dental, and vision health coverage

401(k) retirement plan and discounted stock options

Paid vacation and sick days

One of the major benefits that attract talented staff to their team is their policies surrounding the arrival of a new child. Starbucks provides their team members with paid parental leave to bond with their newest family members.

In addition to parental leave, the Starbucks benefits package also includes up to $10,000 in family expansion reimbursement, which can assist with the costs of adoption, surrogacy, or Intrauterine Insemination for eligible partners.

Starbucks also provides some more unique benefits that employees might be eligible for. For example, Starbucks offers their employees the opportunity to study at Arizona State University’s online program with 100% of their tuition covered for a bachelor’s degree. This benefit can go towards several different fields of study.

The company provides commuter expense benefits, which take care of work-related expenses by providing transit passes funded by pre-tax payroll deductions.

Another huge benefit that Starbucks staff can rely on is their partner assistance program called Caring Unites Partners Fund or CUP for short. This fund supports assistance for eligible partners in the event of a financial crisis resulting from an illness, death in the family, natural disaster, or any other extreme scenario.

Unionize at your own risk. These youngsters have no knowledge about what happened in the 30s when unionization was popular. This is one of the responses, close down.

I don’t know anything about grease traps . I would think that it would be something that could be cleared out or even repiped if need be. I look forward to any enlightenment on grease traps.

Proud to never have visited a Starbucks store. Why? I’ve never read any good reviews about their products. Burned coffee, stale bagels, etc.

Laws are only applicable to peasants, like you and me. The elites (and sycophants) have ruled that everything is illegal if they say it is so.

Kinda like BeijingBiden’s EOrders.

As to closing for retaliation. So F**ing what? You TWOT’s got a minimum wage and union fees, etc. If that makes the shop unprofitable, it closes.
Kinda like that girl rejected you ‘cause you were an obvious worthless waste of her time. Same mechanism.
