Starbucks is closing 16 stores due to a high frequency of 'challenging incidents'

[volfanhill]

Good for Starbucks

They should have shut the first one down the moment it unionized.

 

[UT_Dutchman]

The company threatens their financial security. Lol. Yea, I’d trust something these morons penned.

Yeah because unions always tell the truth.

 

[82_VOL_83]

I got news for you. A company can close down a business anytime they want for any reason they want. Personally, I would guess that between union demands and crappy clientele, they are probably losing money, so they decided to shut them down.

I wonder if their union brothers and sisters are striking to support them?

 

[volfanhill]

The truth is simple. They are shutting down stores that aren't financially worth keeping open. That's the only deciding motivation

Well sure. I don't want to go to a Starbucks with druggies and criminals filling the place.

Do a lot of druggies purchase $7 cups of coffee? I wouldn't think so.

They probably just like using the free bathroom.

Caffeinated irony.

Starbucks is about to lose so much business due to this inflation and resulting recession that it will not matter. Gird thy loins

 

[Orangeburst]

Caffeinated irony.

Stop being so mineralistic

 

[Rickyvol77]

I know, but they're lying. They'd rather close down than give any of their employees any type of power.

They are unskilled labor. What power should they have exactly?

They go in there to shoot up and take baths in the bathroom sinks and toilets. They aren’t buying anything.

 

[Zues1]

Starbucks......they suck.. hahaha

Lol thinking that druggies have no disposable income. You'd have to be on drugs to want a $7 cup of coffee

You don’t go to Starbucks?

You don’t go to Starbucks?

Nope. I get Dunkin probably 5-6 times a year.

Sounds like terrible management

I'm surprised Starbucks would close locations where underprivileged gather and/or where unions are voted in. After all, they are known as a democrat- supporting corporation with liberal ideology.

Money about to get tight. Gonna see what people truly value.

The power to post a note on the wall displaying how retarded they are.

Personally, we think it's unfair that were not allowed to bargain over our working conditions as Starbucks is federally required to do.

As they're stating this is a union busting move, I assume they're referring to the their Union's Collective bargaining rights.
Sigh....., allot more goes into securing Union rights than voting to form or join a Union. I'm sure Starbucks will comply with federal law, maybe even resulting in future barristas having more security than this location, but unless a binding agreement with the Union has already been reached, Starbucks is not presently required to insure their future employment.

Of course they'd have to understand the Union will bargain Collectively and not Personally.

We think it's disingenuous.... claim Starbucks could not provide a safe experience...denied support offered other stores with similar concerns.....

A couple of you guys already brought that up.

I like the hand written note,

"feeling increasingly safe recently"

that completely contradicts the first part.

I can see the P̶e̶r̶s̶o̶n̶a̶l̶ M̶i̶n̶d̶ Collective Mind at work as the Union 505 Barristas, or B505's as they refer to their local union chapter, stare at the printed list.
"But what will people online think of us for having similar concerns as other locations", asks Jayleaxn(Jaylen by birth) a soft spoken androgynous emo with blue hair majoring in gender studies.

You're right!!! Exclaims Chris, the B505's chapter president, as he excitedly sprawls a handwritten note of appeasement lest any of the retarded online Redditors accuse them of micro aggressions, bias, or privilege.
"Maybe I should major in political science after all", Chris smugly thinks to himself while admiring the reflection of his man bun in the drive-thru's tinted window.

Dunkin is vastly overrated. ****** coffee and their doughnuts are meh.
