    I like their product but don't usually shop there due to the prices.

    There have already been a couple of stores that have gone Union....Not sure of the exact number..
    I think you'll see it as a growing trend in the service industry especially with a shortage of workers.....This country has gone from a manufacturing country to service oriented and the cost of living for the workers sure hasn't gone down...They need collective bargaining for some leverage..

    Luckily no BBC member frequent Starbucks. They have been on the official boycott list for years due to some made up meme that no one took the time to verify.

    No dog in that fight but man I've tried to choke down a cup of that coffee, and still can't do it. That burnt wire taste of their reg coffee makes me want to gag.

    So they join a union and in a few months to a few years they realize its a McJob not a career and move on. Meanwhile in their short tenor they pay union dues. Sounds like a win win for the union.

    Starbucks is disgusting. Wife used to love it but thankfully she has turned away from them unless she is left with no other choice. I don’t think I’ve had their coffee more than twice in my life.

    I like their coffee, I get it a Wally World and brew it myself. French Roast for me, it's strong no doubt and I like strong coffee. Spent 20 years of my life in Seattle, Starbucks shops everywhere, it has to be seen to be believed. The people making the drinks, barristas I believe they are called, haul in some good coin in tips. Dunno if I was one of them if I would want to jeopardize that by going union.

    Their iced tea is quite good, though expensive. Last Starbutt's iced tea I had was in May 2012 near Mt. Rushmore.
    Don't bother me, I'm screwing for virginity.

    I killed a 12-pack just to watch it die.

    People who frequent Starbucks aren't going to stop due to them being Union nor for modest price increases.

    The true Seattleites would never be caught dead at a starbucks now, too mainstream lol.

    I've personally never liked most of their coffee, way too burnt tasting. Only a half step up from too old gas station coffee. The nitro cold brew is pretty good though, that's about the only non sugar coffee option I like from there. Also the food isn't too bad if you are in a place (airport or unfamiliar town), where you need a quick bite and don't want to risk getting bad quick breakfast.

    I have had Starbucks coffee three times. First, it tasted like what I think mud would taste like. Second, it tasted like 40 lbs of sugar and the final time it tasted like muddy sugar.

    Only morons pay $3+ bucks for coffee.
