I've always tipped 30% plus, not just because of my Uncle Bernie. I was trained long ago by my own personal experiences. I may boycott non-union Starbucks for not requiring better Covid protections etc.
Inspiring, I especially loved their desire to make the company the best it can be. I also loved the impromptu back and forth with the customer service representative.
Hi Michael, Any word on your next movie night/live question/answer. Any chance you'd have Jon Stewart, Nina turner, Marianne Williamson, Krystal Ball, or even the oppositions view on?
Hi Michael! Thank you for having Jaz and Casey on to talk about their efforts to unionize Starbucks. Great conversation with them and with the customer service person from Starbucks in Nicaragua.

However, I did use the Starbucks feedback form to send the message below. Hope it helps! Thank you again for your focus and attention on this topic. It's important.
Message I sent to Starbucks:
Hello! Long-time customer here! When I lived on Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia, I frequented the location at Spruce/18th street everyday. After moving to Santa Monica, there is not a location within easy walking distance to me, so I use Starbucks ground coffee exclusively to make it at home everyday.
I'm writing to request Starbucks corporation cooperate with their employees ("Partners") who are seeking to unionize. It seems to me that would be a part of Starbucks' fulfillment of its purported values. Please discontinue union-busting efforts (which are illegal), and cooperate with those seeking to unionize -- for the betterment of both employees and customers.
The union I belong to is CWA, which is Communications Workers of America. I work in a Reservations Call Center for a major commercial airline. It speaks volumes to me that Starbucks outsources it’s Customer Service Call Center to a foreign country to avoid having to pay US minimum wage and having to abide by labor laws here in the United States.
I haven't tipped because they have always spoken out of both sides of their hypocritical mouth! They talk about "Fair Trade", but then Union bust the workers at home who are not paid a living wage!! If we boycott them then that would be a start! I also saw the way they began the drive-throughs to make more money and make the "partners" work harder with out stopping, where there might be downtime if all sales are walk-ins! Of course we also have to be wary of Unions as I come from the Jimmy Hoffa time when Union heads were as corrupt as anyone! However, I wish all Starbuck's workers--even those in Nicaragua, a fighting chance at a better life. However, one must also be wary that Schultz won't be taking any pay or benefit increases out of his own pocket, but pass it off on consumers! That $9.00 Venti/Drizzled Brown sugar scoop macchiato will now be $15.00!!! Mark my words!

We California nurses started as California Nurses Association, which is now also known as National Nurses United. It can be done!!!
In Union there’s strength. 💪🏻 #LivingWage #EqualPay
Thanks for this Rumble, and the previous one as well.
I appreciate the efforts of all at Rumble.
I support unions, and those on strike as I write this.
Principles and common sense it seems to me.
Remembering the words of my dad when I treated others poorly-- "How would you like it?"
Dad always held a mirror up to me when I acted selfishly, and so I learned about fairness and respect, including self-respect.
Wonderful interview. Thanks. Long grow the unions.
Starbucks purports to have values. They don’t seem to value their employees and, thus, their customers.

Wow, maybe they can help the Amazon employees, or the former Kellog's employees.
