Looks like folks are due for a reminder of what anti-labor, pro-#genocide aholes they are. Support your local coffeeshop and #BoycottStarbucks: you'll get a better cuppa AND strike a blow against corporate evil.

Oh look the nearest coffee shop is a #Starbucks.
Ah sod it.
I'll stay thirsty. Not drinking that corporate sludge. Shop local. Support small business. It's the difference between a new helicopter for the CEO or piano lessons for the owners daughter.
The Starbucks strike is an important fight for baristas like me

While baristas struggle, CEO Brian Niccol, who started at Starbucks in September 2024, took home at least $96 million in his first four months in the position (including a $5 million bonus and $90 million in stock awards). According to the AFL-CIO’s Executive Paywatch report, in those four months in 2024, he made 6,666 times what the average Starbucks employee made that year.
@PhoenixSerenity Hope they were good!
I’ve just discovered an awesome little coffee shop next door to my physical therapist, and their single-origin brewed coffee is always really good! One day I need to try their halal chicken tamales.
You can’t get a decent cup of black coffee at Starbucks anymore anyhow, so it’s not hard for me to #BoycottStarbucks .
Today, I treated myself to a rooibos vanilla soy latte & a mixed berries bran muffin. My first store bought latte in over 6 months.

@masukomi I've been on the #BoycottStarbucks train for years. Evil, sleazy union busting corporation that also supports genocide.
Two fab, local #Nanaimo small businesses operate out of this converted, former #TrainStation located on Selby St., beside the #ENRailTrail / former #TrainTracks. Black Rabbit Restaurant & White Rabbit Coffee Community.
Cool mixed businesses - both offer local made foods/drinks & showcase local artists.
Black Rabbit Restaurant is more than a restaurant. It's also home to The General Store, which sells/displays local art. It runs The #PostcardProject :

Sneaky #coffee time.
The Ministry in Rotherham does do rather nice coffee. I do like my cappuccino without a corporation behind it.
