Instead of paying Americans (or Chinese people, for that matter) a decent wage--or at least keeping prices down--Mr. Starbucks CEO is selling $15 mugs, pocketing the profit and selling useless wristbands. <br /><br />R: I've heard that Starbucks offers benefits and pays above the minimum wage, so that's a start. But yeah, the thinking seems kind of topsy-turvy.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07554329549665664616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13726206.post-52420711767550218572011-11-14T10:15:57.068-08:002011-11-14T10:15:57.068-08:00Or...

Starbuck...Or... I could just give ME five dollars!!<br />Starbucks already gets my five dollars on a regular basis for delicious drinks, and the money goes to them, who claim they are creating more jobs (I have seen the "Opportunity" signs in almost every window). So I am confused. Third party making new jobs through loans? Only they are selling bracelets instead of coffee??<br />Me like coffee.Raardvarkshttp://raardvarks.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13726206.post-42412335516358773402011-11-14T10:01:34.809-08:002011-11-14T10:01:34.809-08:00You know... companies used to always say they out...You know... companies used to always say they outsourced manufacturing and other jobs overseas because it was cheaper. If thats the case, why does every piece of crap they sell at Starbucks cost so frekin' much? Holy hell, they charge a small fortune for a coffee mug! <br /><br />/end rant :-)Sincerely Iowahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670680788364099572noreply@blogger.com
