Starbucks baristas are throwing tantrums over dress codes and pay demands. Unionized workers rejected a company offer for 2% annual raises, claiming it doesn’t cover living costs. These protests show what happens when corporations coddle entitled employees with woke policies for years.
Workers walked out over new black shirt requirements, calling them “oppressive.” Meanwhile, customers just want coffee without political drama. Starbucks tried calling employees “partners” to sound progressive. Now those “partners” are biting the hand that feeds them with endless complaints.
Union leaders demand “economic justice” while pushing strikes that hurt local stores. Baristas chant slogans like “I believe that we will win” during protests. Grown adults act like high schoolers at a pep rally instead of doing their jobs.
Starbucks offered $19 average hourly pay plus benefits. That’s more than many skilled trades. But activists want guaranteed hours and bigger raises despite doing simple tasks anyone can learn in a day. This isn’t about fairness—it’s about milking the system.
CEO Brian Niccol took heat for his $96 million pay package. Unions mock executives while ignoring how business profits fund their paychecks. Without successful companies, there’d be no jobs to unionize in the first place.
The dress code rebellion proves these workers care more about vanity than service. They kept nose rings and rainbow haircuts but drew the line at wearing solid colors. First-world problems distract from real issues facing hardworking Americans.
Starbucks created this monster by pushing social agendas instead of focusing on coffee. Now they’re reaping the chaos of entitled employees who’ve never been told “no.” Conservatives warned this would happen when businesses prioritize virtue signaling over merit.
These protests are a wake-up call. Let Starbucks serve as a cautionary tale—catering to woke mobs always backfires. Real jobs require real work, not endless complaints about dress codes and fake oppression.
