So Starbucks’ CEO commutes to work by private jet? Let’s not pretend the super-rich care about the planet
So Starbucks’ CEO commutes to work by private jet? Let’s not pretend the super-rich care about the planet
It’s paper straws and compostable cups for the masses, space travel and $600m weddings for their overlords. No wonder everyone who can afford it wants a doomsday bunker, writes Arwa Mahdawi

I would say I would boycott Starbucks, but that would imply they have a product I desire.
I've never been in a Starbucks.The thought of drinking coffee that isn't does not appeal to me.
You could go into a Starbucks while it's busy, and when it's your turn to order go. "I want a ... thing. One of those ... cylindrical" Basically, try to waste as much of the workers time as possible, without actually ordering anything. An important thing is that there's people waiting behind you, so that you waste their time as well.
Or just order water? It’s free for you, but costs the company money, while not making it difficult for the employees. Doing what you suggested is all around shitty for the workers who are just trying to get through their day and earn a wage, as well as the people in line wanting a drink. The company will not be affected in any way with your suggestion.
I’ve been boycotting the company for years now, even the items you can get in grocery stores (since at least some of them are made by Nestle, so double boycott points). Anytime anyone suggests we grab starbucks, I offer an alternative and we end up trying a local coffee shop or other non-terrible franchise.
I thought the employees get paid by the hour?
Yes, but dealing with frustrations is frustrating.
