How the hell did shareholders even allow such a ridiculous thing? If I owned shares at Starbucks I’d be livid
Because “he did good at Chipotle he do gud here”
And when the expenses for his commute get too high, they just lay off a shitton of employees so the quarterly bottom line looks good.
That three people downvoted this (so far) really shows how behind we are as a society. Why anyone would dislike calling out a multi-millionaire for flying a private jet unnecessarily is beyond me. We don’t live in the same reality.
Down voting because of this comment
You probablybdisn’t mean it, butbyour comment implies there are also necessary uses for private jets lol
Easy arguement life saving supplies like organ donation or an expert surgeon. Harder argument world leaders like president. I don’t agree with that one presidents shouldn’t be above us.
Emergency charter are not the same as a “personal jet used by CEO”, but I get what you’re saying.
The core issue is really that the wasteful uses of this amazing technology (flight) far far far outnumber the useful ones.
Its REDUCE, Reuse, and recycle.
We need to reduce and eliminate wasteful consumption. Not throw useful tools out with the bath water (to butcher an analogy)
It’s hard to prove the blanket statement, “there are no good reasons to have a private jet.” But it’s easy to prove, “one overpaid person taking a private jet to commute 1000 miles is frivolous.”
I downvoted, not due to any disagreement towards the politics, but just because the memecraft on display here is abyssmal.
Ok, I can get behind that.
“Sir/Madam…this is ‘memes’” is prolly why lol. It makes a good point tho.
Hey man those 3 people are almost millionaires. As soon as their crypto drops they’ll be in the same boat as the Starbucks CEO!
na unlike that loser they don’t have to commute from their bed to the fridge!
Great, so instead of Joe the Plumber we get Joe the Crypto Bro. Cool, cool.
They’d already be a millionaire if it weren’t for the welfare queens and all the immigrants stealing their jobs/benefits!
/s in case it was obvious enough
When my wife worked there, there was so much anti-union training. I can only conclude that unions are good.
If unions didn’t work, corporations wouldn’t spend millions on anti-union propaganda annually.
The free market would simply make them useless.
But they aren’t useless as we can tell from the capitalist class.
Unions are a way to resolve long term labor disputes without large scale vandalism and homicide, because throughout history angry desperate men have always done desperate things. It’s a lesson usually leaned the hard way.
I don’t think they’re allowed to eat the cake anymore. They have to throw it all away at the end of the day instead.
And cover it in bleach, just to make sure it’s completely safe from being consumed for free, shareholders forbid.
Probably depends on the store, but I think most of them usually give the unsold baked goods to the employees every day, or whatever day they’re due to be marked out. My buddy has been at Starbucks for years, and he always has treats after a closing shift.
Anecdotal, but from what I’ve seen from the few stores I know about, they either have a donation program set up where somebody picks stuff up and takes elsewhere (probably homeless shelters and hospitals?) or managers let employees snatch stuff up before it gets to the trash can. Most employees are pretty fucking sick of the food after working there a few months, but neighbors and workers near the location always appreciate a bag full of free goodies once in a while.
The ones who will suffer will be the employee, someone has to pay for this nonsense and it will definitely not be shareholders or him
Working there? Sometimes there’s no choice. Buying anything there? Definitely a choice.
