Organizing and getting collective bargaining has it’s perks,eh.
also now they can’t TELL you what uniforms you have to wear.
1. You don't "deserve" anything but an opportunity to find a better job.
2. With your experience, you could always run for congress - it's been done before.
C’mon, Man!
Just petition Judge Boasberg. Tell the Judge that it was really President Trump who got you fired. You’ll be back to work by Monday.
“Organizing and getting collective bargaining has it’s perks,eh.”
FAFO. The employees FA and then they FO.
Those barista jobs are a HUMAN RIGHT! Like health care and transgender surgery and burning down downtown! Like the Rainbow itself! Natural RIGHTS the Government must PROTECT!
C’mon man!
IIRC, a former McDonald's employee ran for president...and WON!

Offer them a true opportunity to be the best……U. S. Military..
I have never had a starbucks coffee. Can’t see any reason to pay that much for coffee.
Starbucks coffee is horrible. I had it once.
Go into a Starbucks and ask for a simple cup of coffee. It throws the place into chaos.
1% is 400 stores?! Good grief
Learn to code. Seriously do these employees think that Starbucks is a lifetime career choice?
So much drama on this site.

I can’t keep track of when Starbuck’s is trendy and when it’s an evil corporation.
