How gay is it if I work at Starbucks?

[Lane Meyer]

I put a bukkake-ridden shinjuku on Wal Mart somewhere between here and here.

A point I think being missed in this thread is that Hardrider should work wherever he needs to work for his own economic reasons. Sure, corporations are evil and as such should not be supported depending upon one's morals, but I personally will never be above any job if my need is great enough.

I went to grad school with too many spoiled brats (especially my ex-GF) who refused to wait/bus tables when their $ got tight because it was beneath them since they were pursuing an advanced degree. I say fuck that. If I need $, I'll clean toilets. A job is a job if you need one bad enough. In my opinion, the amjority of unemployed people are nothing more than lazy and arrogant, as employment at McDonalds et al is readily available in almost any locale if one REALLY needs money.

I really dont care where I work and I dont care if it looks gay, I was just wondering HOW gay it would look.

yes and I spoke to that in my post - the thing with Wal-Mart is that they undercut their competition - Starbucks does not. I could go to Monorail Espresso and get a cheaper cup o'joe.

In any case - I ask again: What is this line we draw re: positive vs. negative when a business is expanding? That is to say, when do we stop admiring them for doing well and who gets to decide? Do we put a cap on expansion just like we do on building? What about free enterprise?

Disclaimer: Blatant stereotype use

Starbucks can put a coffee shop wherever they want for all I care. I dislike the culture surrounding Starbucks. The semi-elitist, SUV driving, soccermom crowd. Or in the case of the Starbucks on the Ave, the frat/sororiety, semi-elitist, look at my fancy clothes bullshit that seems to be present there.

We can stop admiring them when they lose sight of their roots. I personally think Starbucks has.

I guess it boils down to the fact that I don't like the vibe in Starbucks, never have, never will. And I like to support small, local business because I feel that the level of service and quality of goods I recieve is better.

I dunno, I bet you could pull ass both customers and baristas on a regular basis.

You could probably even get with women too.

Yeah - this is true. This would be a huge time saver for you, HR. You could stop trolling the high school parties for your illegal lovin', and just go straight to the baristas!




Goddamn, I just about lost it here at work when I read that subject line!!

Word. Even though I dislike Walmart and Starbucks, if it boiled down to it I'd surely take a job there, especially if I could pull some ass (thats in the contract right?).

I'd actually like to get a job at a restaurant, seems like a good skill to have.

Here's the real question - if you work at the Starbucks at Squaw, will they give you a pass? I'd base my decision on that more than anything else. If I had to dress up like Liberace and paint toenails all night at a place that gave me a $1400 ski pass, game on!

alas the 'bucks is at Harrahs in Stateline so no pass.

But I get to work nights only.

That is all.

That depends...will you have to blow your boss?

Those kind of people actuallyhang out on the Ave with all the other miscreants and misfits? How gauche.

[kush1]

Can we get free food and coffee before we go skiing every morning of christmas?

If so GAME ON

No, they park their BMW in front of Starbucks, minimizing their time spent with the miscreants and misfits, to continue my stereotype.

Thats sounds like a hella sick bonus.

[Keoni]

Still tryin to get that exhaust fixed?

I told ya...MAN-HO!!! 2-3 hour a day tops (or bottoms)

edit: of course, bottoms could be considered gay in some situations

Keep going - you haven't caught me in any of your stereotypes yet.....

[hardrider]

$10 and a six-pack was all it took to get her fixed right up.


I would man-ho but I need a man-pimp first don't I?

[mrw]

Not gay at all. But...better paying jobs can be found elsewhere.I know someone making over $100. per day in tips + $3.26 per hour waitressing at Friendly's.The cooks are doing like $12. per hr

edit...food service is really a pia.so, if you're going to do it, wait staff pays the best.

Starbuck's at Harrahs eh? Now if you had said Horizon we'd be talking. Because I'm sure you remember the insanely hot chica we saw working there this summer. Especially since she was going all googly eyed over you.

As for being gay that all depends on your new haircut.

Oh and skier666 might lose all respect for you if you work there. Not because he hates Starbucks Inc., but rather due to the fact that their coffee is shite.

Frankly, I think you should go for it. You'll have a ton of ladies coming your way through the casino, good tips, and full bennies. Insurance isn't cheap nowadays and that's a huge bonus when you do the stupid shit we do on the hill.

[splat]

Hey asswipe - call me. I got a lead on a real job for you. at the Beav

do you bartender??? It's good for $200/day in tips.

[lph]

A: Kinda gay, dude. But, lots of positives.....

1) Close to where you live.
2) It will definitely be a busy and fun to place to be all winter.
3) Definitely highest concentration of good lucking women at the casinos.
4) You don't have to use a hammer or any power equipment.
5) You can work nights!!!!! Isn't that what it is all about, really?

Although it is bad form, you might want to ask how the schedule works. Try to figure out if you will be able to get a week of every now and then to go to JH/Utah.

Dude, stop. Hold it right there. Hardrider got a haircut? No more suave swirly-chaos Hardrider hair? Tell me it ain't so or else....

Last time I hook you up with a Twins game, brah.

[Schmear]

As for being gay or not, I'd buy a Starbucks latte just to see Hardrider in a green apron sans pants. Take that however you want.

[H-man]

Hardrider has thought more about work in this thread than I did at work for ten hours today. I think he should take tommorrow off....

[CantDog]

The gayness level depends on how many granola crunch girls who work there you sleep with. Extra gayness points for dreads and bullrings in the nose.

[Out_to_lunch]

I would say somewhat gay, but at least its not:
A) playing a fluffy animal on a kids TV show
B) a hairdresser
C) a fake flower arranger (my friends boss is gay. his ex is option B. Kinda scarry)

Whatever gets you cash for the bling bling.

[shamrockpow]

I'd put in a vote for waiting tables over Starbucks. Harder work, but if you can find a fancy restaurant in the casino (?) you can bank tips and work with all hot chicks. Said hot chicks will be much more interested in partying with Señor Kush than the phd toting, faux Euro-trash, gauloise-smoking, yuppie crowd that I see working at Starbucks...
