#SBUX
So I think part of it is malls aren’t really there anymore and the ones that are left heavily police what they call loitering but what would’ve been sitting in the food court sharing a coke or like how chairs are disappearing from lower priced coffee places/sbux so you can’t resist anymore

they closed the only #$SBUX within an hour in stowe to union bust and the locals are reeling in the group chats.

Instead of negotiating with the unionized workers, Sbux closed the Bloomfield store.

They made up a bullshit reason, but yeah, obv labor law violation.

Each year around sbux cranberry bliss season I'd buy 2 lbs. of Williams-Sonoma Peppermint Bark & when it arrived I'd sit down & eat 1 lb in one sitting, yum 😋, then keep the other one if any friends happened by during the holiday season & whites get so uppity if uou don't

oh they plan to open 440 more? DO NOT GIVE THEM BUSINESS.
i'm dead fucking serious as a former sbux barista myself: this company does NOT deserve your money
they were once actually a decent company to work for as far as benefits went, now their health insurance is getting worse next year too

I used to be a daily sbux user for 25+ years. Easy. Reliable. Predictable. Staff knew me. Comfortable. After Jan 2025 I haven’t been going. Instead going local (hyper-local, not Tim’s) and guess what…? Easy reliable predictable staff knows me + much better coffee.

McD never was my thing

It’s why I stopped going to SBUX years ago.
September 27, 2026 at 4:29 AM
They brought it on themselves. People used to go to SBUX to sit down, have coffee, relax, have a, um, conversation...they made the app so that people come in, pick up their coffee and leave.

Fuck #$SBUX
September 26, 2026 at 9:25 PM
I despised SBUX since they drove out all the espresso carts and cafes from Seattle in the 90s.

I was also annoyed with the patrons who were willing to buy their drinks from them instead of supporting the small businesses. Ugh.
September 26, 2026 at 7:32 PM
Yeah. I saw a Sbux getting absolutely plastered with flyers in '23 for I think punishing workers for Palestinian solidarity? It was back when I was half dying so it's all a blur. They're always union busting though
September 26, 2026 at 1:27 AM
I would not go to Sbux even for a Pikachu latte. But your local café likely has a honey latte! There's a honeycomb latte at a place near me that's so good I could drink multiple every day except I'm not rich

That got me thinking about unionizing and maybe asking a librarian about how I can convince those SBux workers to unionize. Learning Spanish is for me, so I can more easily speak to LA locals and for the next eclipse on Spain, but also to help potential I.C.E. victims.

Unemployment has its perks.

anyone take a look at the stock chart of the CEOs former employer, Chipotle? Yeah, is that Ms. Wilson's fault too?

Take a look at the chart of SBUX for the last 5 years. Sure. That's her fault too?

but hey, look what she's doing for the Nasdaq!!! Up 25 percent in one year!!!

As long as they're Dunks, you may still get hired in Boston, just because people understand and respect you sticking to your principles

Most places would boot you for not sharing tho

And if you show up with Sbux, just go home. You will not get hired

Happy to report that if anyone, like me, was missing their PSL, DaVinci's pumpkin spice syrup is awesome!

(No, I don't have a local coffee shop. Yes, I adore Sbux. No, I won't go there while the union's requesting a boycott.)

See, you thought the youths weren't competent, but they're just carrying on the same traditions 😉
(they're my students since Sbux pays for their college tuition to come to us, so many of them are just doing the bare minimum to keep out of higher ed debt and will quit ASAP lol)
