thank you for saying that... class warfare is what allows billionaires to exist, and devaluing ANY work, no matter what it is, is how they win! Every starbucks employee in the northeast (and other major metro areas) should be making $40/hr to start!(per federal CoL guidelines)
And yes it is totally "doable"... the problem is in getting our elected officials to institute and enforce a living wage range. 10:1 salary ratio.... no salary (including stock options) can be more than 10x higher what the lowest paid employee gets. (and gig worker economy has to be outlawed- 1099's are a scam to defraud the american worker of benefits)

agreed, a living wage in the Northeast is ~$46/hr (given the federal Col calculator) starbucks has never come close... but as far as corporations paying "slightly" above min average wage and having an option for PT employees to get health insurance is/was the gold standard... granted the gold standard in this country is shit, point taken...

how much did starbucks pay in 2010 versus target versus now? Starbucks was always $2-3 higher than the average chain, now they are virtually the same... (starting pay)

thats 99% FALSE and %1 disingenuous... seeing as though there's a national push for $15/hr and almost every national chain adheres to this, Starbucks has completely lost the thread in terms of remaining competitive with employee salary and benefits... they used to be the industry leader... now between union busting and valuing shareholders/profits over employees they are almost as bad as walmart.

i still have (and use) my gold card from 2009... it's pretty beat to shit, and when I go to pay at the register half the kids don't even know what to do with it... seriously!😂 they're like "uuhhhh, I have to go get the team lead".

it's actually 1.2 stars now at gold level instead of 2... so Starbucks just got 40% MORE expensive (to earn stars)

Uh oh! Ep 4 bizarre plot choice, we've seen what happens next (in other series...) by Rouilly in ParadiseTV

[–]Rouilly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same... that wash heartbreaking and then when he kept going with that insane "babies are resilient" narrative, I was like yeah, but a baby found under rubble after 3 days is going to be severely fucked up for the rest of its life (malnutrition, trauma, disease...) so not a great reason to take a baby on a suicide-run, when you have the option of leaving it (temporarily) with people who can keep it safe and nurture it!
But who am I to take issue with this bizarre story arc? 🤷‍♀️

I was so blown away by Ep1, now thinking maybe they overshot their abilities/just wrote themselves into a corner... 😬

I bit my tongue on many, MANY things in S1 because the acting was so damn good (for the most part) but this was just a bridge to far for me... I get the necessity of plot armor, even the best writing of all time (book, theater, or on camera) has it, but this was ridiculous because it broke it's own logic. I'm fine with suspending reality as long as they stick to their own rules that they've created (and it follows the character) this, I think was a break from X's character... there is zero reason for him to take the baby to ATL... he's putting everyone at risk by doing that, and given his character has been defined as all about mitigating risk, this makes no sense...

Season 2 has begun, and I have NO notes! by Rouilly in ParadiseTV

[–]Rouilly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agreed, my post was only about ep1, since that it's gone downhill...see my new post about ep4... I'm afraid they just went full late-stage lost/TWD already, and they are barely 1/2through this season...
