Ssstarbucks in the news again

Employee fired due to mocking customer with stutter.

Long live the fight for $15!


http://www.newsweek.com/starbucks-stuttering-employee-philadelphia-1010411


Quote:“My friend Sam who is a stutterer stuttered on his name when ordering a coffee at Starbucks. The barista said, 'Okay, S-s-s-sam.' When he received his coffee, he was shocked to see that his name on the cup was written as 'SSSAM' which was disrespectful,”

What does this have to do with the fight for $15?

And Starbucks fired the guy.

Not until they went public with the incident on social media.  At first, they tried to buy the guy off with an apology and a $5 gift card.  

As for "What does this have to do with the fight for $15"?  Well, it's just another example of someone handling themselves in an unprofessional manner, demonstrating their lack of merit for a higher income.  For example, I just read that Target raised their minimum wage to $14/hr.  Just how long do you think this individual would last there, with all of Target's inclusive HR policies?

You have no idea when the employee was fired.

How could they fire the guy before they knew what happened?

And getting fired for it.  What is your point?

If some other surveyor gets fired does that mean you should not get paid as much?

So you want a morals/ethics test to get a higher wage?

I'm not sure a lot of business owners/elected officials/salesmen will agree with you on that.  Hilarious

Are they going to close all their stores for a 2 hour talk to correct this?

Well, it could have been worse. They could have claimed not to see anything:

You are the one calling him a victim?  Simply found it germane as they both occurred in a restaurant.

Trump Delusional Syndrome.  They MUST defend Trump...even when h'es not even mentioned.

I might need Sally Struthers to collect some money while we search for a cure.

Hmm, that sounds eerily similar to another form of TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome.  Which causes affected persons to blame essentially everything wrong in society today, all on one man.  A guy who's only been in politics for a couple years now, at that.

Yes the fake TDS you describe recently started by people who suffered from the REAL TDS as well as ODS (Obama Derangement Syndrome).

Its is very sad and as of yet there is no known cure.

Okay everyone (me included).  Stop and look at what we have done to this thread.

Lets either drop this or go back to Starbucks and stutters.

To be honest, Dana Carvey as George Bush on SNL has got to be my all time favorite.
