audrey horne 1,180 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Good. It's an evil company which distribute unhealthy products widely, has slave labor involved and uses massive tax evasion techniques. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Be Free 434 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I work for Starbucks. From what I can tell, most of the stores that are closing are going to be small cafe stores. I urge everyone seeing this to be KIND to your baristas, corporate is cutting our labor and overworking us. I cant even explain how much a small act of kindness can make our whole day in these hard times. EDIT: Please don't forget that even though corporate is EVIL, the people who actually work are humans who barely get paid above minimum wage.

Well it’s important to bear in mind that 1) there are so many Starbucks that they already cannabalized each other to a degree 2) most people would grab Starbucks for work related things or on the go. COVID prevented both to extreme degrees so it makes sense they’d suffer more than others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the stores that lack a drive thru or are placed in shopping centers/aren’t standalone buildings right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bt1 5,213 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 The real story behind this news is that the number of business owners has dropped a lot because of the restrictions. Dont worry. Amazon and co will take their place. I guess some people ignored all those warnings about the economic effects. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
