God fucking dammit. This shit pisses me the fuck off. I teach kids who have lived through severe trauma and I would be lying if I said that the track of their home life, the things they have witnessed at a young age that would send a shiver down your spine, and their lack of support system may mean that some of them…

The sweatshirt is disruptive (and his wearing it is intended to be disruptive), he does not have a first amendment right to wear it in a public school. This shit was fucking solved in 1969. Next.

I don’t disagree with that. They are both white as is management.

Yup. The offender is now a store manager and when I discussed my issues with this to the district manager I was blown off and told how he had changed. Guess what, that wasn’t true and his employees who would cover shifts at my store told me exactly the same.

Also, I am in no way excusing the actions of this person or anyone who does this. They should be fired on the spot. Typing in a customer’s name is simple and the Starbucks POS is laid out like a keyboard so there is no way this was a mistype. I know a lot of great people that work at Starbucks, but like so many other…

I worked at Starbucks through grad school (and have talked about it on here before) and while it is a great place to work while going to school, none of this surprises me. When I left, as much as I loved my manager, the employees could get away with murder and never be fired as long as they showed up. This was not…

Thanks! It’s challenging (a kid bit me today, lol), but I love it and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. It’s the only job I’ve ever had where I legitimately felt like I was making a difference in someone’s life.

“They’re saying I have white privilege.”

We had a customer who got mad because we didn’t make her flat white properly when I was a barista at Starbucks. Rather than ask us to remake it, she came inside, went in the bathroom, took a shit and spread it all over the walls. As she left she screamed “next time make my drink right!” and left.

I’m a special education teacher in a state that used to take education seriously until our governor decided education was a dirty word and it is amazing how many people are flat out just leaving or not even going into education because its just not fucking worth it.

My old roommate and I would literally spend entire weekend days just getting drunk and playing Mario Superstar Baseball. Back then we knew each player’s strengths and weaknesses and would have epic matchups. Goddamn do I miss that game.

My mom (Italian) has no less than 46 cans of tomatoes and 973 frozen containers of homemade tomato sauce in our house at all times.

Yeah it says exactly Yanny and nothing else. I also played it for my speech and language pathologist who said the same thing.

“Do you want black students at Yale or do you not want black students at Yale?”

I am a spiteful sonofabitch and since my ex-wife is a diehard Lightning fan, seeing the way this series has gone so far has made me really happy.

True. I had a similar issue when I was at my Sbux where a supervisor was saying wildly inappropriate things (of a sexual nature) to other baristas. Most of them were kids who needed the job (and benefits) so they were too afraid to say anything. I had just finished grad school and was really just only still there for…

How did her employees not call the DM for wasting fucking time at a busy place where she then routinely had to be taken from customers to talk to the police? Everything about this Becky screams privilege and laziness.

In my three years as a Sbux barista in multiple locations we had to call the police once when I was there. It was because I saw a white dude shooting heroin next to my car during my break. This lady deserved to lose her job a long damn time ago.

I’ll obviously go see it day one, but I just gotta say, Fuck Elizabeth Olsen and her Xenu worhshipping ass.

I teach kids with learning disabilities so this is painful to watch, but also something I work with everyday. Somewhere along the way, the adults in Floyd’s life failed him in a massive way. A kid does not choose to just not learn to read. That said, Floyd has grown in to a massively garbage adult so I really struggle…
