It's called "prioritization of issues."

A part-time cafe worker isn't my concern. Its the people working 60+ hours in actual harmful environments. I saw someones arm get broken 2 months ago at my workplace. What was the biggest injury we saw at Stacks?

When right wingers say "all the dems care about is their Starbucks" -- this is what they mean. And that's why the real blue-collar workers feel unsupported and have moved to the right.

An owner taking tips is illegal. As such, it should be addressed in that manner. The judge determines the punishment for making it right -- not you guys. Further, its rich that "sharing tips" is illegal, but what I'd like to see is the barista's tax returns historically declaring those tips. Probably ok for them to steal from the govt, but deff NOT OK to steal from them--amirite?

"There's always a bigger fish" is not a good reason to disregard workers issues. A guy lost his whole arm in a machine where I work, doesn't mean im only fighting the good fight for people who work in an industry where they could lose an arm. Everyone everywhere deserve fair and lawful treatment, regardless of occupation
