Starbucks - Robert Reich quote

[central17]

Robert Reich@RBReichStarbucks is raising prices after reporting a 31% increase in profits. The company’s revenue increased by almost 20% to over $8,000,000,000. Their CEO’s pay increased by almost 40% last year to more than $20,000,000.
Do not be fooled. This is about corporate greed. It always is.

I am not a fan of Robert Reich or Starbucks. But the next time Starbucks wants to lecture anyone about what we should do to be good little global citizens - tell them to STFU and put their money where there mouth is. Maybe they should allow the homeless to sleep in their stores and give them free coffee?

So true. Starbucks cost per cup has to be pennies.

If you own a company...you can hire anyone you want and pay yourself anything you want (as long as you pay the taxes). Absolute bullshit to force business owners to hire ppl with inferior intellect. My God! For these Mom and Pop businesses....that income is their WHOLE LIFE!

I dislike Starbucks product. Not the munchies but the coffee itself. The only time I get coffee there is if I'm out of town staying in a hotel that does not put out coffee in the morning.
