No, seriously. The average STARBUCKS employeee gets better healthcare, vacation, 401K match than an Employees of SHAW GROUP. Hell we even have subs that sit next to us doing the same job making better benefits than us.


yea so was i



Due to the overwhelming rise in US healthcare many employers are left with limited choices, offer less of an insurance plan or offer the same plan and pass the increase on to the employees. It's a lose-lose for the employee and it's only going to get worse.

Buy an espresso machine, some espresso beans, some flavor mix and make your own! :-)

Starbucks and Caribou is tasty but damn its expensive.

WTF ? Starfuck coffee talk again? Paying for a pound of quality coffee but only getting a cup? Oh and some frothy, lathery volumptious whip milk.

I have people bitch all day about prices of anything but yet gotta get the cup o' gold from SB.

Hmmmm....
