"Starbucks claims the Middle Street location no longer meets the company's needs."
Those needs being an inability to exploit labor as much as possible... I swear these rich pricks forgot how rough our labor movement was, all of these protections they put into play were not to protect the workers, but the system and capitalists from the people they were screwing over and starving. Shit almost went off the rails here, for a long time the State had the moneys back until they realized it was likely to get all "feed the tree" up in here. They went to great lengths to get rid of civics, whitewash the civil rights movement and remove any, and I mean ANY history of our labor movement in schools. Then the decided to get all the kids in debt by saying they "needed" an advanced education and act surprised when they come back from that, can't find work they went to school for and are saddled with debt, and start using the things they learned in those universities.

Don’t talk about *or to unions. Don’t expect to be paid more when doing more. Don’t complain about the pay because you have good benefits and don’t take time off to use the benefits because we need you. But we don’t really need you because your co-worker has been doing the work of the last guy that quit and still kisses my ass. If you don’t like it you can find another job…but you’d be letting the team down so stay or go, we don’t care just don’t quiet quit either. Nobody wants to work anymore.

The rage against "quiet quitting" was proof positive that all this "No one wants to work" coming out of the pandemic was nothing more than them trying to short-staffed to save money while making up excuses why they couldn't find help for the consumers.

It feels very akin to getting broken up with and claiming people just aren’t dating anymore.
The people who didn’t want to work were those that walked away with hundreds of thousands of dollars in forgiven PPP loans while maintaining or exceeding pre-pandemic revenue.
I’m just shocked that out of pure integrity businesses didn’t voluntarily pay it back. /s

Heh, I mean, who could have seen that coming? They should dropped it directly on folks that were out of work instead of trusting the owners to do it.
