the coffee jerks don't seem to realize it doesn't take much to program these things to order coffee...

Starbucks baristas are demanding CEO Howard Schultz to work with workers on a solution to what they say is scheduling unfairness in the wake of a report last week claiming Starbucks has failed to deliver on promises made a year ago to improve practices that leave workers' schedules in a state of chaos.

I sense some baristas are about to find out where they sit in the scheme of things....out of a job...
Why doesn’t he just tell them the same thing he told Conservative stockholders, F’ Off?
Just don’t say: Death To America
Can’tthey just go to a different Coffee Bar to practice their trade as Barrista, like AM/PM or 7-11
Oh, you mean like closing a store at 1am, them opening the next say at 4am.
I used to work at a Walmart. I hated how the scheduling would change and you would have little notice. I have been scheduled at Walmart to work until midnight and then to be back to work at 7a.m. I did it though, it was not any worse than when I was in the service.
Friends don’t let friends drink Starbucks.
sign on door of my favorite coffee shop.
Yeah... Good luck with that.
Starbucks Baristas... This generation’s slack jawed, 4-F Soda Jerk.
With negotiating skills comparable to a flea. While being infinitely more cheaply replaceable!
If you don’t like your job walk away and find one you do like.

“I used to work at a Walmart. I hated how the scheduling would change and you would have little notice. I have been scheduled at Walmart to work until midnight and then to be back to work at 7a.m. I did it though, it was not any worse than when I was in the service.”
I’ve talked with Walmart workers and it’s an absolute travesty in how they are treated with respect to scheduling. It’s simply not possible to live a life or have a family life with the way the corporations completely screw over the lives of their part time workers.
I’m with the baristas on this one.
Welcome to retail
Welcome to retail
You have never worked retail...one never gets a schedule more than a week out. And yes to cut labor costs you could be scheduled and then get cancelled
You have never worked retail...”
You all just break my heart. Too bad you couldn’t have grown up on a farm or worked in the grain industry, particularly during harvest. Weeks of 20 hour days, hot and dirty. Today’s generation is a bunch of pansies complaining about having to work without your eight to ten hours of sleep in a clean, air conditioned environment.
In the old days you could have a morning job and an evening job, maybe even a graveyard job in order to make ends meet.
Now they have this scheduling software that will adjust your schedule around so much that you really can't have another job. If your first company uses this scheduling software, if it gives you a shift that conflicts with your second part time job, and you choose not to take the shift then you can be fired from your first job.
And as more and more companies go to this scheduling software in order to compete then it becomes more difficult for part time workers to get and keep two jobs that they can organize their schedules around.
Now that Obamacare has turned lots of full-time employees into part time employees, do you really support a system that makes it near impossible for part time employees to be fully employed?
The free market gave us pornography and drugs and Joel Osteen and Bieber and Smiley Virus. It also gave us jets and cell phones and GTOs.
I'm counting scheduling software that makes it near impossible for an able-bodied American to work two part-time jobs as something more akin to Joel Osteen than GTOs.
Do you?
This is what you get when you have a generation of children without fathers.
Can you imagine telling your dad you are going to talk to the CEO of the company because you don’t like your schedule?
These kids need someone to take them aside and shake them. Just a little.
Barista. Is that like a "coffee-jerk"?
