    Starbucks employees shouldn’t be rich, it’s an entry level food service job. People that make a decent living work better jobs, or are good enough at their starbucks jobs that they become manager and move up the chain to the point they can make a decent living.

      Yet they still need the ability to pay their rent to work where they’re needed.

        Yes, like in a less expensive area, where the wages they get would go a lot farther.

            This person lives in the middle of nowhere to the extent that it’s surprising that they have internet access. This person has never been near a city of more than 100,000 people and just watches TV nonstop while complaining about how horrible people are who live in different places and in different ways.

              Currently in a city of ~330,000. Sitting comfortably and watching youtube.

                City lol

                You’re not a city until you hit 1m. Until then you’re a large town with an inflated ego.

                  “You’re not a city until you hit 1m.” So what you’re saying is there are only 9 cities in the entire United States? I think you have your definitions wrong, or you live in New York / Los Angeles and have no clue what most of the US is like.

                    Worse: there are really only three cities in the US: NYC, San Fran, and Chicago. They are the only ones that meet the definition that people around the world accept as being a city. The rest of the US is just large towns unless you’re going to argue that Omaha is like Paris somehow.
