Starbucks pledges to hire 10,000 refugees

Glad I don't drink the charred shit. I've done contracting for Starbucks and they do not care for workers AT ALL. They are a run around mega corporation that will screw the little guy for a buck. Very dishonest company. This is all PR for their leftist customer base, nothing else.

get ready to say a lot: "bring me 2 starbucks, Adnan!"

Seems more about PR than altruism.

"Starbucks says it plans to hire 10,000 refugees over five years in the 75 countries where it does business......The refugee hiring proposal, Schultz wrote, will begin with a focus on people who have served with U.S. troops as interpreters and support personnel."

Starbucks rakes in multi-billion dollar profits with about 25,000 stores globally and about 240,000 employees. 10,000 employees spread over 5 years is about 0.8%, well below their "stellar" employee turnover rate of 65%.

I stopped going to Starbucks years ago. No plans to give those A-holes 2 cents.

I can afford it but consider it both a waste of money and an ostentatious display of wasteful consumption to spend $4 on a cup of coffee.
