My world is falling apart - first the Taylor Swift ticket mess and now this

Starbucks workers at more than 100 U.S. stores say they're going on strike Thursday in what would be the largest labor action since a campaign to unionize the company's stores began late last year.

  4. That means that Taylor can’t order a Grande Caramel Nonfat Latte!!!
    Whatever can be done?!
    The disappointment might lead to a new song, though…

  5. A wonderful strike because I bet there will be plenty customers that will find out that they CAN survive without their daily ten dollars worth of coffee.

  6. I bet they won't let any illegal immigrants vote.

  7. My youngest introduced me to a French press and a grinder last year. Starbucks should just fire all those snowflakes.

    1. Oh hell, I've been using a press all my adult life. I even bought a stainless steel one for my pack when I was spending a lot of time up in the Sierras.
      Much better coffee, if you ask me.

    2. My only issue with a press is the mess, but yes great coffee.

  8. Starbucks? WTF would anyone drink that evil crap? It’s bitter and soulless, kind of like my ex-wife.

  10. I am vehemently opposed to a Starbucks worker strike. What if their customers find my coffee shop with a) better coffee, b) less expensive coffee, and c) an excellent staff of non-bitter people with liberal arts degrees?

  11. Oh my, where will all those college gender studies graduates work now, Burger King?
    Never cared for starbucks coffee or their blue haired bitter baristas.

  13. I appreciate a good cup of coffee but I'm no coffee snob. (Survived 40 years of shitty, lukewarm machine shop coffee.)

    $10.00 Wally mart drip brewer at home.
    Restaurant coffee for my thermos on road trips.
    Instant when camping.

    I like mine fortified with a good splash of fake Kahlua.

  15. Weren't they Pilots on Battlestar Galactica? Isn't it a good thing they are going to strike the Cylons?

  16. I am looking for IT work after 22 yrs and one of the positions the recruiter mentioned was at Starbucks. I said I would not want to work there, and they would probably not want me either.
