An online petition accusing Starbucks Corp of “extreme” cutbacks in work hours at its U.S. cafes, hurting both employee morale and customer service, has been signed by more than 9,000 people.
The world’s biggest coffee chain, trying to address cooling growth at its U.S. shops, recently introduced technology that allows customers to order and pay from mobile devices. That service aims to boost sales and reduce bottlenecks in stores.
Starbucks Chief Executive Howard Schultz and other top brass have spoken with Jaime Prater, a Southern California barista and the online petition’s creator, the Seattle-based company said.
It declined to give details but Starbucks spokeswoman Jaime Riley said it is not uncommon for Schultz to reach out to members of its 160,000-strong U.S. workforce. She also said no nationwide cutback in labor hours or jobs was underway at Starbucks stores.

Profit is up 17%
Apparently the stockholders are more important than the people who actually perform the necessary work for the company to turn a profit
Failed system

look here's the deal
the idea of the stock market is totally broken in the first place
ipo's and massive expansion is outdated and it's ruining the economy
We all know that the people who do the work are useless
I say, fire the people working at Starbucks and let the stockholders do all the actual work how about that
I mean the workers are worthless garbage anyway
