If you need a visual representation of the American Left, look no further than the Great Starbucks Barista Revolt of 2025.
Why are they revolting?
Fairer wages? Better working conditions? Social justice?
Nah.
Their employer, who has a brand, asked them not to dress like slobs while at work. A requirement anyone who has ever held a job had to deal with.
But not these coffee-slingers. Oh, no. They're special, and it's so unfair to expect them to dress in ... *checks notes* ... jeans and a dark t-shirt with a green apron.

Spoiled toddlers, all of them.
The trans flag cape is really *chef's kiss* too.

Heh.
Had to wear a red bow tie, white collar shirt, and old man khakis when I worked at Red Robin. If you don't like the requirements of the job, there is an easy solution. Quit.

This writer once worked somewhere and a few of her colleagues were required to dress like Christmas elves.
Starbucks should be ashamed for mandating the dress code.

This is literally unconstitutional.
People should have the freedom to wear or not wear whatever they want.
We think this is sarcasm.
If not, you point out that Amendment. We'll wait.
Truly, the most dictatorial of dress codes 😱: pic.twitter.com/jm4WlHRMsz

Those monsters.
why are they not instantly fired?

They should be.
Why don’t they just start their own coffee shop? They can wear whatever they want.

Because these scholars couldn't run a lemonade stand.
Starbucks offers a generous benefits package, including college tuition reimbursement.

A dress code with a black shirt & khaki, black or blue denim pants is not unreasonable.
The participation trophy generation has a sense of entitlement disproportionate to their skillsets.
It's never enough.
Dear @Starbucks I understand why you don't want unionization. These retards running negotiations is the last thing you need. https://t.co/aBpAxGHpzD

Fair point.
It's so crazy that these people think a company shouldn't have a right to have set standards for there own business. Fire them all and rid your company of the wokeness. https://t.co/RGbs2MrV5x

We see it in other fields, too. Remember how reporters at the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post lost their minds when their bosses said they couldn't just be anti-Trump op-ed mills?
Leftists really think they can tell the people who pay them how to run their businesses.
I bet they’re socialist. Wanna bet? https://t.co/GgHJtw9Fvo

Safest bet ever.
"Imagine waking up as a dysphoric, disabled, queer, and trans Starbucks barista. You go to put on your corporate-mandated khaki pants, only to be overcome with paralyzing anxiety as you zip up your fly, leaving you literally shaking as you attempt to whip up coffee-flavored… https://t.co/S651inozI9

EL. OH. EL.
The hardship they must endure.
They looked exactly as expected https://t.co/I2c6wK5paK

Exactly.
Is Starbucks playing 4D chess here and using the dress code as a way of ridding themselves of all the worthless, toxic activists in their ranks? https://t.co/nzEVyP8uTB

It would be hilarious if they would.
