Fake sentiment from Starbuck$
Since it’s hand drawn I’d bet that a manager is sick of that one regular making the new kid cry all the time. Otherwise, I agree, corporate virtue signaling is gross.
"Be kind while we fight against your rights to organize!"
This would be great if wasn't a subtle ad for Starbucks
The idea is to implant the idea of Starbucks in your mind by having the logo there so when you think of coffee you are more likely to think of Starbucks

More than just some, most brands pay a pittance of the price of beans to their suppliers.
I’m sure there is. There is in practically everything we buy.

Why haven't I seen that lazer-beam-crab picture posted as a response to this yet?
On the other hand you could make the note and, in the end, don't we all want to be remembered?
