Fantastic! I’d have to say a “career” at the Starbucks counter seems to be the “dream job” of many of today’s youts.
Unfortunately it probably isn’t the economic key to paying off those 120 grand in student loans.....

They’ll just double the price of their crappy coffee. And people will still buy it.

Starbucks isn’t fighting Obamacare, they’re complying.

And the contributing to the tip jar at the counter will become mandatory.

And that's large, er "grande". Extra large, oh, sorry..."venti" will be $40 per cup. The awful burnt taste is still free.

I don't see this as being particularly pro-Obama (or anti either).
It's a reasonable business decision to hang on to their workers up to the moment Obamacare hits.

$10.00 for a cup of Joe is not a good business plan.

Being a left wing Public Co., I’d be shorting the hell out of that stock.

Starbucks officially supports and funds organizations which advocate abortion and birth control plus is a big socialist cause contributer.
