Never liked their shit coffee anyway. 😊🤞🦋

Bernie nails it - CEO pay and corporate greed are out of control 👇 #UnionsForAll

12,000 workers. Extra 50c an hour. = $6000/hour. $240,000 for a 40 hour week. $12.5 million/year. Less than 15% of the CEOs pay for 4 months. The US treats its workers with contempt. US minimum wage in 2009 was $7.25. US min wage in 2025 is $7.25. CEO pay has gone up over 150% in the same period.

Do they give them a canary as well and do they charge them for the feed?

jonathanmlewis.bsky.social•36 days ago

You have to torpedo Starbucks.

dpsl.bsky.social•36 days ago

Greed of the CEO’s will be the end of capitalism!

dpsl.bsky.social•36 days ago

You never told me your thoughts on my Luigi post, quite a few of your friends like it!

ournewhomecoach.bsky.social•36 days ago

Maybe I missed it. Sorry.

dpsl.bsky.social•36 days ago

The one I messaged you & you reposted it!

ournewhomecoach.bsky.social•36 days ago

Oh man! I’ve got so much going on I can’t remember all of this sorry.

benarman.bsky.social•35 days ago

It’s like they wave a coffee bean over hot milk. Crapulent coffee 💩

No wonder it didn’t take off here in Australia…

surlysimon.bsky.social•35 days ago

I had to drink it for three months, getting a small triple shot latte was just about acceptable. Fortunately there were people in Denver doing proper coffee, even one barista from Melbourne

bp740.bsky.social•35 days ago

Even a bad cafe barista serves better beverages than Starbucks, especially the ones who know how to brew a pot of loose leaf tea.

andrewbirmingham.bsky.social•35 days ago

Or their service levels! I've long believed a couple of smart Aussie baristas could make a small fortune opening in places like SF and Boston just by making nice coffee quickly and being friendly.

Magic innovation - pay more than the minimum wage.

No one should queue 45 mins for Starbucks slop.

peterglen.bsky.social•35 days ago

Very niche market. Nice coffee in the US. They like their starbucks slop.

jenniferphilp.bsky.social•36 days ago

Starbucks are only good when you're desperate for a loo

ournewhomecoach.bsky.social•36 days ago

Like Maccas.

jenniferphilp.bsky.social•36 days ago

Exactly. They're the Maccas of the coffee world

lambchopsrule.bsky.social•35 days ago

It tastes like it's been burned

rae808.bsky.social•35 days ago

Karma, dumb ass pissed off Colombia. Coffee may be on the shit list with eggs...

7051guy.bsky.social•35 days ago

The MAGA war on breakfast

alvinchipmunk.bsky.social•35 days ago

No, Starbucks doesn't play in Oz AT ALL!

byzantium-bound.bsky.social•35 days ago

They tried here but we like our actual coffee too much

alvinchipmunk.bsky.social•35 days ago

Yeah there are a couple in Sydney (well maybe 1 now) but why would anyone go there?

gc21.bsky.social•35 days ago

Or their politics

peter-l.bsky.social•35 days ago

We just spent Christmas in the USA. Never went near a Starbucks.
I'll never forget a sign on the counter of a neighbourhood cafe in middle America about 20 years ago: "friends don't let their friends go to Starbucks."

rosiedekat.bsky.social•35 days ago

Same tried it twice- first and last time- a bit like Gloria Jeans

seasherm.bsky.social•35 days ago

Friends don't let friends drink Starbucks.

labrooy61.bsky.social•36 days ago

Tried their coffee from two different locations and I have to admit I can't recall a worse coffee anywhere. Very ordinary indeed.

solvognen.bsky.social•36 days ago

Seemed ok at first in the '90s to me, but perhaps only because the bar was lower.

floydnine.bsky.social•36 days ago

Its super super super super trendy in Springfield, 170k people. Its the "big city" round here. Fuck, they think they got em some starbucks and driving thier tesla they are "part" of the "normals" today.
Those people are idiots. The rest of us brew it at home, its fucking COFFEE. Bring a big cup.

carlosamammal.bsky.social•36 days ago

You're only ever taking their word for it that it IS coffee.

garybutler.bsky.social•35 days ago

I just wish that Starbucks coffee was drinkable enough for me to boycott them on ideological grounds. It's no fun boycotting something that I wouldn't drink anyway.

thatznotmyname.bsky.social•36 days ago

Shit 👎

roseannebyrne.bsky.social•36 days ago

We kicked them out of Canberra. Whatever it is that stuff ain’t coffee.

ournewhomecoach.bsky.social•36 days ago

Lasted a year in Balmain. No longer.

roseannebyrne.bsky.social•35 days ago

They set up in Manuka! Silly business plan. It’s a coffee clique.

dikkii.bsky.social•35 days ago

Their first outlet in Melbourne was in Lygon Street, Carlton. Utterly bizarre that they'd go to what was then arguably the premier coffee strip in the world's coffee capital to sell their shit.

tamarafurey.bsky.social•35 days ago

Starbucks displayed the ignorant arrogance typical of cultural imperialists & ignored the existing preferences of a potential marketplace

Aussies prefer their coffee to taste like... COFFEE & don't share the US's love of sugary drinks

iamann.bsky.social•35 days ago

We now have a Starbucks drivethru in Epping. It was very busy when first started, but the lines are much smaller now. 👍

roseannebyrne.bsky.social•35 days ago

So true. I wonder if they were using that creamer stuff?

philiproper.bsky.social•35 days ago

Some things are unexplainable. I saw Subway outlets right next to proper bakeries in France, so you could get a proper baguette filled with meat and salad for less money than a Subway roll next door.

roseannebyrne.bsky.social•35 days ago

Inexplicable. My nephew found a baguette dispensing machine in France. Didn’t quite believe his eyes.

roseannebyrne.bsky.social•35 days ago

Lygon Street of all places! Talk about no business or common sense.

potusmusk.bsky.social•36 days ago

Fuck Starbucks. Is just sugar and fat to disguise the shit for coffee that had more than the recommended limit of roach bodies in it.

marksett.bsky.social•35 days ago

I’ve never used them and never will.
They don’t pay their taxes and I won’t ever support that.

jans-red.bsky.social•35 days ago

Same here. Also, I don't want diabetes.

kimcarrera007.bsky.social•36 days ago

I’ve bought one Starbucks coffee in my life and it was in Singapore while in transit.
I spat the coffee back into the cup it was Sooooo bad .
Welcome to australia if you want a decent coffee

benarman.bsky.social•35 days ago

The only Starbucks coffee I had was also in Singapore and gave me acute indigestion.

polyquats.bsky.social•36 days ago

The only Starbucks coffee I ever had was at Beijing Airport. It was the second best coffee I had while in China, but still one of the worst ever

renaegibson.bsky.social•36 days ago

Transit is where they get you. I’ve never had their coffee but have had a frappe. I make better ones myself with the NutriBullet.

kimcarrera007.bsky.social•36 days ago

Ps if you want to know what a coffee connoisseur is you look up chauffeur waiting for clients for hour on end in cafes all over town. We weren’t chauffeurs we were coffee testers waiting Interminably
