[ilikegunspdx]

Crazies, druggies, and worse. surprised any businesses can make it in these locations which are really really bad. The burgerville on Powell also closed due to all the homeless meth heads, drug needles, and human feces everywhere.

The other day in the news, there was an announcement that S. was closing many of their coffee shops ALL across this nation due to CRIME and due to the safety of their employees.

Managers and employees kept on making complaints and INCIDENT REPORTS and someone decided that it was NOT worth it to keep them open.

Plus a LOT of them had people using their bathrooms and the FREE LOADERS left messes and they did not even BUY a coffee there.

Drug and booze crapola including needles were left in those bathrooms. Plus some other real messes if you get my drift here.

Plus some BUMS were using them as their own private showers/sinks from what I read elsewhere when it comes to the few TRANSIENT bums who DO BATHE.

CEO was on some clip other day crying about the lack of law enforcement.
Same CEO that ran to every woke BS that was ever thrown up. Supported the snow flakes who did not want Cops in the place. Same one who jumped to the defense of "people without housing" being able to use his restrooms. Now that its costing him on his bottom line he suddenly sees the light? He can enjoy what he asked for.

.......the stores will be closed because the company is unable to guarantee the safety of its employees in the locations in question due to an increase in violence, drug use and other societal problems.

I'm sure that the former workers will be elated.

What does the Corporation and CEO say?

Reinventing Starbucks.

A message from Howard Schultz: The next chapter of Starbucks Reinvention

In a letter to Starbucks partners, chief executive officer Howard Schultz shared a set of principles and a new partnership for the reinvention of the next chapter of the company.

I've been seeing things online stating these stores were also trying to unionize, and Starbucks has been a firm anti-union company.

Of course they have, and of course the Co has fought it. Being "woke" all sounds great but, those in charge still want to make money. It was this kind of thing that made me "wake up" to the party who is all in on Unions, while at the same time not wanting them. Union for thee, not for me, kind of thing. Parents were SUPER pro everything left. Yet would scream and yell as the party they voted for hosed them. As I began to see it and would ask they reacted as normal, got angry that I asked.

This is what I have read all over - national news online and even when it comes to some LOCAL coffee shops from A to Z.

The stories have been on tv (I only have OTA TV reception on purpose.) and on our local radio stations.
