Those May Not Be Raisins In Your Starbucks Carrot Muffin
 

Holy Ew. Put down your skim mocha whip latte whatever, and especially your brioche, and get a load of this shit. Literally. Loads of shit in Starbucks. Mice shit, people shit, dead rodents … they are monopolizing your local SBUX. Here we have live footage from the Union Square Bux, where employees are protesting their cockroach infested environs. We can't say "ew" enough. We just can't.

The nice thing is that these upstanding citizens/soon-to-be-ex Starbucks employees are putting their jobs on the line so that you don't have to eat rat poo. And if you needed another reason to choose MUD or Angelique over coporate crapiattos, you've got one. What we really wanna' know though, is if will make Jim Romenesko's Starbucks Gossip feed.

Aren't employees jobs to maintain a sanitary environment? Basically what I see in that video are employees admitting that they don't clean enough.

um, employees aren't responsible for treating infestations, the company is. they might be responsible for REPORTING it, and if nothing is done: voila.

This is total bullshit….I know for a fact that starbucks is 100 times cleaner than most of the restaurants and coffee shops people go to.

I agree with 5:28. It's management in the building that is responsible for exterminating the place. I'm sure the rodents and cockroaches were there long before SBUX came along. I think I'll go to my local starbucks and do a little investigating.

The speakers are wearing the "starbucks" union t-shirt and buttons. It's more bullshit to discredite starbucks from the wobblies. Why can't they actually call the bucks on the real bullshit? Like crappy hiring practices for upper management and coddling DMs and the like who think the mission statement is just a funny thing to read?

Whoever runs the Zeckendorff Towers are the ones who are responsible handling infestations like that. Remember, Starbucks is the renter. I would not be cleaning up anyone's shit from the floor. Starbucks doesn't pay enough…

Too bad the workers dont tell you that these are old problems that were corrected ages ago. Their little union thuggery story doesnt ring true. That union isnt even recognized by the USA, let alone STARBUCKS. They dont clean, they are lazy(not all just those who are complaining), some in the video are famous on the web for "protesting" anything they can.
