You are already paid better than most service jobs. You get vacation, you get health care, you get tuition reimbursement... What more do you want? The machines do 99% of the work. You take orders and push a button or two. You do have to be on your feet for the full shift but you don't do hard labor.

From the post:
>Starbucks baristas at the company's West Alameda Avenue and South Federal Boulevard location in Denver filed for a union election Friday and on Saturday, baristas from across the Denver metro area are protesting outside another Denver location with a list of demands for the coffee giant. The baristas are organizing after Starbucks unions nationwide have made considerable gains over what workers describe as "unfair labor practices." It also comes at what the union says is Starbucks' busiest season.
In Colorado over 3 years ago you could make $17/hr working at a goodtimes flipping burgers. That "fight for 15" was won long before the "protests".
