Fuck Starbucks and the losers who work there. Why is there a hearing on this when there are so many other issues far more worthy than some dinosaur millionaire commie senator's wet dream. And to the young, entitled proletariat slaving away for Starbucks: Get a real fucking job, you fucking slobs!! Starbucks is not intended as a career move. It's so you can earn some gas money while you are in school. It is not meant to be profitable or to fit your expectations. Your labor is worth virtually nothing in this context because there is absolutely nothing unique about it. A fucking chimp can do your job. Your labor is a low-end, and unskilled at it comes. The current minimum wages are like 3x (at least) more than your stupid labor is worth.

A union would probably cause Starbucks to have to close a lot of US stores. Maybe even go out of business entirely.
