Its something that shouldve happened a long ass time ago.
EDIT: For real though. I go to local cafes often. Pay HALF the price what our customers are paying for the same drink. The local cafes also source much better coffee. Which for some, could be costing them much more if they're buying from other roasters or roasting themselves. Unless you know, they had their own supply chain that they own, like a certain million dollar company...
Its also extra annoying that their POS system is quite slick to use because they use a tablet for their POS system such as Square. Ive used it before a lot. 10x faster and responsive than the Craigslist quality shit we have at Starbucks. I feel like Im in a run down Mom N Pop shop sometimes when I go to work after recently visiting a local coffee shop. :|
I understand that they supply us with decent benefits, but I'm quite sure they could be able to afford higher pay. OR, they could just allow us to accept tips when people pay with a card. Who actually commonly carries around cash in $1s besides drug dealers and workers who live off tips?

They absolutely can pay us more, but then the shareholders wouldn't be getting their millions. Kevin Johnson made $19 million last year, of which $4.3 million was a bonus. Yet the baristas doing the manual labor for that can't afford basic necessities. The company preaches how great we're treated but I can't buy groceries with a meditation app.
