Meanwhile over at Starbucks, check out how the employees reacted to a new bit of news.....
As we continue working to create a warm, welcoming environment that invites customers in, showcases our great coffee, and provides a comfortable place to sit and stay, our green apron partners have played a big role in bringing it all to life – from writing on cups to free refills and the coffeehouse experience. Our partners are the face of our brand, and our iconic green apron has always been a special part of what makes us unique. Since 1987, the green apron has been the symbol for Starbucks Coffee Company, representing the hundreds of thousands of retail partners in North America who connect with customers every day. That’s why, starting May 12, we’re evolving our dress code in all stores to focus on simplified color options that allow our iconic green apron to shine and create a sense of familiarity for our customers, no matter which store they visit across North America. The more defined color palette includes any solid black short and long-sleeved crewneck, collared, or button-up shirts and any shade of khaki, black, or blue denim bottoms. We’re also making a new line of company branded t-shirts available to partners, who will receive two at no cost – including partner network options. By updating our dress code, we can deliver a more consistent coffeehouse experience that will also bring simpler and clearer guidance to our partners, which means they can focus on what matters most, crafting great beverages and fostering connections with customers.
They have it soooooooooo tough.

What is that thing? Vegetable or mineral?
That’s just your average Blue Anon Cultist Xir/Xe. But here’s a solution wear what they’re asking you to wear or go find another job , it’s pretty simple.
The world is waking up to not celebrating the mentally ill nor rubbish of society anymore. It's what was/is driving western civilization to collapse.
Makes me want to actually enjoy the surprise aggravation of putting my arm in syrup left on the tabletop at a waffle house to enjoy a cup of coffee. The woke can go broke as far as I'm concerned.
@ 5:54 - My parents taught us to never put our elbows on the dinner table. I'm sure you only remove your cap to slap the flies.
What a freak show. Friends don't let friends visit Starbucks.
5:30 am More than a few of us have lived long enough to know that a learning disabled or handicapped employee are often the hardest workers and the kindest. That is also true of mothers who are raising children alone. They are happy to have a job and can't wait to get to work.
We also know that the hostile bullies with egos bigger than what's between their ears or their legs are toxic everywhere they go. We fire people with your attitude. You darken every door you walk through.
Mentally ill who don’t fit in now expects the rest of the world to conform to them. No thanks, I’ll just continue drinking Community Coffee from a convenience store; it tastes much better.
No more tie-dyes?
If there ever was an organization where the employees' tail wags the owners' dog.
Mussa been day off from the gym…
@817 has the right idea. Community Coffee never disappoints
I own a company where we hire upper high school or college kids. They are given a uniform to wear. They represent my company, not their own views.
Why does 7:54am think 5:30's comment is about learning disabled or handicapped people?
5:30 said we should not bend rules to fit the mentally ill or the rubbish of society.
Do you think learning disabilities are mental illness?
Are handicapped people rubbish in your eyes?
Seems like 7:54am is the bad person.
Is that Pat from SNL?
There's a difference between an arm and an elbow, unless you're a unicorn I suppose.
@ 6:29, He said "arm", not elbow. Perhaps you've been wearing your cap too tight.
So glad I pour my own home brewed coffee before driving to work.
Good for all of you boomers who brew your own coffee. Starbucks isn’t marketed to old people. Starbucks is selling an experience for young educated progressives and creatives. This policy will not last long.
Starbucks is selling an experience for young indoctrinated progressives and the hallucinogenic challenged. There, I fixed it for you, no charge.
Paying $7 for a cup of coffee is an experience? Thanks, but this boomer will get his experiences in forests, on lakes, on mountains, and in bed. You blue-haired nose ring types should try real life some time.
@12:04 PM how are they any different than the boomer hippies? The 80s yuppies? The 90s grungy stoners? You aren’t different or better now. You are just old and boring.
@12:18 No boomer. The experience is the “Seattle coffee shop” experience. It used to be the “Frasier/Seattle” experience that Starbucks was selling. But this generation was born after than show ended.
I'm nowhere near a boomer and can make a better cup of coffee at home cheaper. Starbucks is a business, not a lifestyle. I agree with 12:18, these peeps need to go get a life.
Dont like the dress code? Quit and find a different job. Seems pretty simple to me.
So as evidenced by all the comments, none of y'all even go to Starbucks but utilized your ability to say mean things about strangers on the internet? Stay kind out there.
Consistency and conformity is literally Starbuck's business model, so the dress code makes sense. It's why their coffee sucks - they value being consistently mediocre so that you get the same taste in whichever store you choose rather than allowing for variation in experience. They nuke the hell out of all their beans to mask any flavor other than "burned coffee beans"
Either make your own coffee or support local places. There's some really good options in the metro area
12:26, I didn't say anyone was better, or worse, than anyone, else. I said I fixed it.
“Turn on, tune in, drop out”, I'm pretty sure you wasn't around when Timothy O'Leary was preaching the gospel of LSD, but I was. O'Leary was one of the CIA's more successful experiments on the American people.
Seeing as how I have seen, first hand, all of those you listed, I was fully qualified to correct your post. You should have more respect for yourself, then you wouldn't feel the need to attack the value of others.
@1:50 You are referring to parts of MKULTRA and I am well ware of it.
12:40, people are paying a $6 per cup surcharge for the “Seattle coffee shop” experience?
As I sat around the table one evening I told my children I would beat them to a half inch near death if they did this. Was that a woman with a beard? I’m wondering what those young men that died at Iwo Jima and Normandy are thinking.
I wouldn't pour a cup of Starbucks coffee on a fire, it would be disrespectful to the fire. 7 Brew has much better coffee and no freaking whacko losers.
I don't mind Starbucks as kind of a treat every now and then. But it's not "good", to me. I prefer to support local like Cups or Fusion, even Community Coffee (local-ish). But companies do need to start doing more of this and stick to a "fit in or f**k off" mentality with employees. They'll find out they are, in fact, replaceable. But if they do have to go looking for work, I wish them well with their gender identity, tattoos, piercings, entitled attitudes, and Modern Ancient Taiwanese Mysticism Gender Studies degree from whatever woke liberal campus they attended.
This is so f**kin’ cringe that I couldn’t stop myself from coming back again a day after to watch it again.
