Those workers should get as much as they can possibly get, but they won’t get any of my money because I’m not paying for Starbucks, overpriced coffee
And eventually the coffee will be too expensive and the company will fold. You can’t charge beyond what the market will bear. Economics 101.
Do YOU think that someone working full time hours at Starbucks should be able to afford a family?
No. No more than someone who works at Burger King
You’d be shocked how many people say that about UPS drivers. We’re not worth it according to them of course they don’t do our jobs and they can go pound sand.
If I had a dollar for everyone that couldn't qualify or quit I would be a very wealthy person.
Oh yeah people ha e short memories about Covid
Sounds like socialism
Socialism does teach that there’s only so much of the Pie, capitalism says there’s a Pie that continues to grow. I side more on the capitalism side. I just want my Pie to grow accordingly with their pie.
I helped walk a couple of picket lines
A few years ago. One of the stores that sign cards was closed by the company…. shocker.
I gave the girl at our store my copy of Rob Schwartz 'no contract, no peace' and a few weeks later she invited me back for a practice picket 😎
Probably even your neighbors in the trailer park would have problems supporting their family on $17/hr. We could debate the merits of capitalism and wether the fruits of a workers labor should afford a life of luxury for the likes of Brian niccol while the worker themself struggles until the cows come home (spoiler alert: I don't think so), but all that aside $17/HR is a very reasonable ask.
Why not 30?
For what they charge for coffee im sure they could a bit more.
Just use UPS as an example. When they are paying more than they are willing to, they cut back on staffing and hours.
Everyone has career choices. We are just fortunate that we had a union and a company tgst made enough to pay those wages.
Of course, that company seems to forget they make enough to pay those wages because of our hard labor.
It’s not bad.
I haven’t tried it yet. I saw it on the store shelf, but I still got Folgers lol.

Because people have no idea what a drivers day is like. Other than @21savage, they work like animals.

The apple didn’t fall far from the tree

They pay a lot but they expect a lot and ypu give up a lot of your life working there.
It’s not bad.
I’ve got some hoarded that they discontinued.
I’m guessing they’re not legally allowed to sell it anymore. 😂
Wait until robotic servers/staff take over.
Go wait by the mailbox. Elon is sending over a robot that can do all that in a self driving car any minute now.

Capitalism has raised more people out of poverty than socialism or communism ever will. Hard work is scary to the nit wits today. They want everything for free or they don’t want to wait. I started at 11.72 an hour driving. Seniority guys were getting 15 and change, same job. As a matter of fact I probably had to work harder. That’s the way it is. It paid off in the end.
