    This fuckin’ guy. He lives in Newport Beach and was made the CEO of Chipotle, which was headquartered in Denver. Since he didn’t want to move to Denver, he laid off almost the entire corporate office and moved it to Newport Beach.

    He justified all this by having a consulting company come in and do a study about where the best restaurant talent is in the US. Surprise, surprise. The best place for a corporate office just happened to be right where this assclown lived.

    I guess what I’m saying is two things:

    1. Fuck this clown.

    2. Starbuck corporate employees are about to be surprised to learn that apparently Newport Beach has the best coffee talent in the country.

      It all makes sense now, why the headquarters is close to Boeing Field. Remember, patronize your local coffee shop, no matter how cheap this shit gets. I live in Seattle, btw.

        Who goes to Starbucks for the coffee anyway? I goto places like Starbucks for over sugared blended ice drinks.

      In our healthcare system they’re talking about refusing non emergent treatment for people without insurance until they get Medicaid, which can apparently take a month. This would save about 20million, which is strikingly close to what Propublica reports the system pays in executive compensation. In other words, if the money is THAT important, we have a way to save that money without literally denying cancer care (time is a factor). But reduction in executive expenses isn’t on the table. Fuck these high earning sociopaths.

    I used a paper straw once, it fucking melted in my drink because paper doesn’t work well with liquids

      I remember when Maccas stopped using straws in France.

      They just printed on the cup - “We’ve stopped using plastic straws. To drink, remove lid. You’re not an infant”

      Don’t suppose that’d work in a country of insufferable crybabies though lol

          This is actually a legit concern for some people with handicaps. That said, the number of people that just get handed a straw as a matter of course far outnumbers the number that needs it because of handicaps. And of course carrying your own around is a thing.

            It’s a fair point that some people would need a straw to drink, but I don’t think it’s entirely unfair to expect them to have a reusable straw or something in preparation. Certainly it seems more reasonable than having the remaining 99% of the population default to having a straw, especially when they probably don’t use one at home anyway.
