I enjoy the irony of the “you are powerful” sign in their window.

I know many people who have worked here and no one had a single good thing to say about their experience, so I’m absolutely not surprised.

“I had 4-5 really disgruntled employees in a year”

Ya that’s a lot of disgruntled employees for a small coffeeshop.

Reminds me of “If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole.”

Unless he was literally beating people “extremely abusive” seems a little aggressive.

He might be a huge asshole or just a dick in general or shit even a criminal based on the above - But let’s not throw around “abusive” so willy nilly

I guess. It just seems odd to me to call one crime "more criminal" than another. Crimes certainly have degrees of seriousness; different crimes carry different punishments and all.

To my mind, something is a crime or it isn't. It isn't any more or less criminal for a shop owner to steal from a worker than it is for a worker to steal from a shop owner. The punishments for these two crimes generally differ, and there are ethical differences between them I think. But they're both crimes.

Can all crimes be ranked from most to least in terms of how criminal they are? Not in terms of the severity of their respective punishments, but on the criminality of the crimes themselves?

Me too! One time I almost interviewed for a job there myself until a friend in the coffee industry warned me. I’ve heard nothing but horror stories and honestly I’m surprised they’ve been in business for so long!

I’m really disappointed to hear this, I really liked the food and coffee I got there. Certainly won’t be going back there, the workers deserve so much better.

Well that’s very disappointing to see in my neighborhood. One of our only nice coffee shops around here, I hope they get the stuff sorted out.

the meaning of words changes over time. I used to get hung up on this when people would say 'indisposed' all willy nilly but if enough people use a word in a way, that becomes the meaning of the word. Indispuesta in Spanish is often used when woman is on her period rather than literally meaning indisposed. Literally no longer has to mean literally. Words change as people see fit.

Stealing money workers is just being a dick? When was the last time your employer stole money from you and you had to choose which bills got paid and which ones had to wait?

Not only that, but employers try to push the idea that if you are less than 100% productive while on the job, you're committing "time theft" while also doing things to their employees like stealing tips and not providing required overtime pay.

I used to be in there every day in 2016-2017. witnessed lots of staff turnover in that time and a few remarks about this lady from the baristas I got friendly with. tbh I'm surprised they're still in business with the word on the street but it's in a good location so I'm sure she makes bank.

Pro tip for would-be One Shot customers: CNT Cafe is nearby and very excellent.

I have family members that work at Starbucks, CVS and Target and their pay starts at $15/hr.

A yearly salary on $15/hr is about $31,200 - without benefits. That is not enough to allow people to live independently. It's not about pitting one profession against another. Everyone deserves a fair wage and fair working conditions.

You clearly don't know what people make... Garbage men get paid well for a number of reasons. 1) it's a government job 2) people typically don't want to do it, so they incentivize with higher pay 3) there's a pay increase due to the danger related to the job. These are the top 3 reasons, but the list goes on

Like how "begging the question" has evolved past its actual intended usage and has come to mean "raising the question." Which, you know, is natural evolution of language but I also kind of hate it because "begging the question" is specific rhetorical device that can be used pretty deceptively, and I think we still need a name that matches what is actually happening, because the original meaning of the phrase is still very much relevant.

lol so the hospitality sector, which was closed for 2 years, has had the highest wage gains.

are you surprised by that? what about gas prices? do you remember when a barrel of oil was less than zero dollars? what happened there?

i'm sure you could give me a full economic breakdown, but like your namesake, you'd "prefer not to".
