If Starbucks closes their most popular store then that creates an opportunity as the customers are still out there and they still have needs and cash to spend.

Hopefully every single one of them will shut down. Close their doors and end their business just to avoid unions. Lowlife POS.

Fuck Starbucks. There's one close to my work in a very high traffic area that was always pretty busy, and they were shut down recently as well. Wonder if it was for something similar.

When I heard they were closing 1% and laying off employees I wondered “how many will be stores that were trying to unionize or unionized already…”
