The local mall Starbucks kiosk (suburban PGH) was closed and several employees were casually placing fliers about and turning their backs when people came by to take them (i.e. not allowed to hand out flyers). Meanwhile, the mall Target Starbucks was packed. Wanted to ask the strikers what they thought of the scabs at Target but they were gone by the time I looped back through the mall. Kiosk was still closed. Hope they get what they're after...

Fwiw target SB locations as well as other “in store” locations generally are not eligible to be part of the union as they are classified as a store employee rather than a Starbucks employee. The flip side is that if the store (target) is unionized, they’d be unionized with them rather than target proper. Starbucks employees don’t even get discounts at the in-store locations typically as they are under completely different systems

Good to know, thanks for the clarification! Not sure the union status on the local Target, although they are a nationwide department store so probably not a great chance.

Great info. In Philly I remember there was some controversy about opening a physical Starbucks in dillworth plaza outside city hall (got burned and rebuilt in 2020) but the interesting thing revealed by that was that another cafe across the park had a Starbucks operating agreement (not branded as Starbucks but served their beverages) and that the temple bookstore across 15th was also not technically Starbucks corporate but nonetheless Starbucks was profiting off of three different locations via different instruments within 500 feet of eachother. Not to mention several locations within a couple blocks

Hello, this is not the FBI, so what other burning buildings have you been around when they burned down?

I didn’t know watching a building burn was a crime 🫢

The absolute most entertaining moment was watching the cops get pelted with coffee beans after performing a kettle bell on peaceful protesters
