poppet2 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 This was announced last week. So who's really going to end up paying for that £10 million to HMRC? http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2012/dec/03/starbucks-slash-lunch-breaks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bloom Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 To be honest, I don't think Starbucks will exist as it does now in the UK in 2 years time. Customers seem to be turning away in droves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Grump Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 People turning away from Starbucks in droves? REALLY???? Why are the coffee shops packed out whenever I want a cuppa? I wish people did boycott starbucks so I could get a seat ---------- Post added 07-12-2012 at 10:23 ---------- To be fair, Starbucks can't pay people to be sick as they are not productive. Its not the council, its the real world. When I talk about sick, I'm not talking about serious illnesses, more things like colds, people getting hangovers, people getting stress those kinds of illnesses.

You're right - baristas should go into work with cold. Nothing I like more in my capacino than a nice nostril full of snot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expat owl Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 To be honest, I don't think Starbucks will exist as it does now in the UK in 2 years time. Customers seem to be turning away in droves. They are strangely busier than ever in the three local to me. Go figure !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garbo Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Why should people get paid not to go to work? why should people get more than minimum wage? its part of your contract, some people get paid when sick, some get paid lunch breaks, some get free coffee and tea at work, some get their free canteen.
