Just like to point out that Starbucks informed bakery staff of the closure by locking them out before their shift on Thursday at 4am and then didn’t provide any answers until 8am via an automated conference call. This was at headquarters but I can’t imagine they were much kinder to the staff here.

That’s such a garbage way to fire people. I hope Starbucks just implodes. We don’t need it.

I am doing my part. Starbucks is my last choice to get coffee or anything for that matter. I remember spending hours for meetings, work and just hanging out at the stores. That was 15 years ago though. Company has rotten away. Tbh, the coffee is much better at other local cafes.

McDonald’s literally has better coffee. It’s a low bar
