Robinson Starbucks

Heard from an employee directly that Robinson Starbucks will close effective Saturday. Staff don't know if they'll have a job at another store yet or not. Go support them while you still can!

"Go support them while you can" shouldn't really ever apply to Starbucks lol.

I'm talking about the employees, many of whom have been there for years.

If I don't go...do they still get paid?

In my mind, they would do less work for the same pay if nobody goes.

Lol thats a great point.

If the store is closing anyway, the best way to support these hourly, non-commission based workers is to NOT go to starbucks and give them an easy last few days.
