Fuck Starbucks and their shitty, burnt coffee.

Everyone who goes to Starbucks and gets a plain coffee is an idiot.

You go there for ice cream disguised as coffee, with a little caffeine in it.

I never was a fan before, but this is making me an enemy.

Good, go after Starbucks and any other company who tries to pull this crap. Fine them to the wall and make them have second thoughts first instead of going "yeah, we can do that, the penalties are low."

We need stronger union protections across the country

The fine will be trivial, Starbucks will pay it and continue breaking the law. It's a dance they've been dancing a long time.

The purpose of government agencies is to create and enforce laws like this. They shouldn't be (just) sueing, they should be commanding the power of the law itself to regulate businesses through legislation, enacting crippling fines and exerting control to outright disallow and directly control and prevent this type of thing from happening at all in any area of their jurisdiction.

Oh what's that, you union busted? With MERCENARIES???! All company officers, go directly to federal prison and each personally pay 15x yearly salary+benefits value. Your company must now figure out who to hire into those roles and now do so under the watchful long dick of the law.

No more of this fucking around cost of doing business stuff. Demolish the leaders and the behavior, and "chill" the people thinking about doing the same.
