IIRC they’re paying this guy $54,000 an hour.

They pay a barista $15.42 an hour.

A 3,500x difference in salary is ridiculous.
- He's also a union buster.
- My last job laid me off when I wanted a raise. They got butt hurt when I suggested the owner fly business class instead of renting a Learjet a few times per month.
  
  You should have suggested that he rents a super yacht.
im sure hes cryin on his fat stack of cash and options.
He moved the headquarters of Chipotle to his home town from Denver just for the hell of it. My guess is that he intends to do the same with Starbucks. So that “commute” will last only as long as it takes him to move the corporate HQ.
