As someone who *completely* agrees with you, some people just can’t leave, man. Often times Starbucks is one of the best paying jobs in an area. That or they’re using the ASU benefits or need the health insurance.

You can have an alternative perspective and not be a bootlicker.

I have not once observed or been the subject of abuse or assault at work, nor have I heard of anyone I’m my district experiencing this. I get the occasional rude customer but even that’s not that big of a deal or that often. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen or that those here who write about it are lying, I’m just saying that’s been MY experience and MY experience informs MY opinions. So, for me, the job is often hard and can be stressful, but is generally fun and a good job that I enjoy. Am I a bootlicker because that’s my experience?

I feel like no matter how I answer this I will be attacked. So let me put it this way. Starbucks is a business and they exist to make money and they will make the most profitable decisions. That being said CDC guidelines state that vaccinated people do not need masks anymore and the vaccine is extremely effective to the point of which it would take an act of god almost to die from covid after being vacced. Therefore as a barista if you have a mask and you are vacced, your chances of getting covid are almost 0. So yeah be angry at non vaccinated people for not masking, but you cant be mad at people who have been vacced who decide not to wear a mask when that is literally the point of getting vacced. How do you even know if someone is not vacced to accuse them btw? Plus only non vacced people are at risk really not you.

Wouldn’t this go down when people are allowed to not wear a mask
