gwalchmai Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 LOL. https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/starbucks-employees-stores-across-us-strike-alleged-hypocritical-treatment-lgbtq-community Strikes at some organized U.S. Starbucks stores began Friday in Seattle, Washington, with more than 150 stores and 3,500 workers planning to participate in the strikes this coming week over the company's "hypocritical treatment of LGBTQIA+ workers." More than two dozen additional stores are voting on strike authorizations and the count could rise to nearly 200 by the end of this week, the Starbucks Workers United union said. The union said Friday that strikers would be "demanding that Starbucks negotiate a fair contract with union stores and stop their illegal union-busting campaign, which has significantly impacted Starbucks' LGBTQIA+ workforce." In a lengthy thread on Twitter, the union alleged that Starbucks uses "intimidation tactics" to "threaten" queer and transgender workers by cutting hours, removing credit card tipping and threatening workers with the loss of healthcare benefits.

(David McNew/Getty Images / Getty Images) "We’re fighting for all baristas to feel welcome & safe at work," the union tweeted on Friday. "All cafés should have gender-neutral bathrooms, a safe work environment with adequate protections against burns, slips & falls, and a way of effectively addressing any security issues." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 If companies are already marketing robots that can do your job, you should probably tread lightly. You could always slap gay stickers on the robots. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmohme Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 I am not sure what I dislike more. LBTQRSTUVWXYZ or the corrupt unions. In the end it really doesn't matter to me. I get up in the morning and make my own coffee. I have no interest in what goes on with Starbucks. Let them strike. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gender neutral bathrooms may be fine. Harbor Freight locally has two gender neutral bathrooms, each of which has facilities to accommodate only one person at a time. Bathrooms with facilities to accommodate multiple people at one time should be gender specific. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostinTexas Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I thought being LBGQWHATEVER was a prerequisite to being haired buy Starbucks. That seems to be the demographic in every store I have ever visited. LostWIfe likes their cute drinks, so there. I like the Americano with a splash of heavy cream. It rates just above convenience store coffee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May lower the grade of a restaurant. When a person goes into the only restroom and licks the door it has become gender specific for that moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I was at an airport, and saw a starbucks 4' x 5' picture of the most delicious Christmas Coffee drink you could imagine! I wanted one. Sprinkles and everything! The girl mixed it. "Do you want whipped cream?" "Yes!" ::scriiiiiiishhh!!!:: Then she smashed the lid on top. And handed it to me. I looked at the drink. And at the sign. And at the drink. And at the sign. Then she just flatly said, "Yeah. They don't look like that." 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were actually boiled, there wouldn't be the need to put salt in it to keep from upsetting my stomach. This getting old stuff ain't for sissies. LostWife doesn't understand the excitement over the percolator I found at a garage sale. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Never had a Starbucks product, never even been in one. I drink engineer's coffee: twice the scoops in the coffee maker,if you don't finish the pot, leave it to get cold, microwave leftover until gone. Repeat. Quality is not all that important, nor are fancy Yuppie beverages. Never throw anything away that can be re-heated. Navy coffee was great, but you have to be at sea to really appreciate it. <--- still has my electric Corningware percolator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Starbucks next to a Yoga studio in Uptown and I assure you, the customers are neither gay or freaks. They did put combo locks on outside bathroom doors to keep the homeless from dropping a deuce or taking a french whore shower. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably some Karen's but it is like a 4:1 ratio of hotties in LuLu Lemmons. I may or may not have got a chubby. Decent seating, free internet, covered parking in TX heat, close to my Executives for transport. It is a great place, well except for the combo locks I mentioned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
