I saw a video of a barista having a breakdown on the news today, part of a story about food service workers putting up with the psycho public. Could be follow up on that?

I’m not sure, I was only half listening. The anchor said the video of the barista had “gone viral.”

Hopefully it’s to ask why so many of us are leaving and if our work conditions and benefits are as great as the company lies about.

Read this fifty times as “new people” and I was highly confused

Ditto. Starbucks has fried our brains.

Seattle will send out memos reminding store level folks not to speak to the media and direct them to their official media contact.

That being said, my DMs are always open, and I have signal and pgp on request, and I take anonymous messages 😀

I mean, if you want stories about how dangerous our work can be I’ve got plenty. From daily interactions with drug users, to my store nearly being the site of a shooting, I’ve kinda experienced it all. I already put my two weeks in so there’s nothing they can do to dissuade me lol.

It's cause of the 50th anniversary.

Is your store in or near Buffalo NY? That’s where there are unionization efforts

My SM told us about that today too, I’m in NE Ohio as well, I dunno if it’s just us though. I know we’re not supposed to but I hope someone with some strong nerve talks to them

As a general rule you’re never allowed to speak to reporters. You always have to redirect them to Starbucks’ media number thing.
