Alright as someone who has seen this happen… Don’t. Fist off, if the employee doesn’t already know what the benefits of a union are and how to go about organizing one, this does nothing to change that. Second, it puts them in a dangerous position with management. Obviously, any good Union drive should be fully prepared for union busting tactics, but ideally you want to keep that shit secret from management for as long as possible. And imagine how frustrated you’d be if a customer pulling a stunt like this got you fired.
Instead what you want to do is talk to your family, friends, and coworkers about what a union can do for them and talk about how to effectively organize a union drive. Make sure that shit is led by the workers, and puts forward strong demands and escalating tactics. They should also absolutely get community support, but in organized, meaningful ways - think things like mailing lists to get the word out about rallies, boycotts, etc.
Unions are hell of a tool and they should be organized in the most effective possible ways.
That’s a pretty awful company if the customer can get an employee in trouble for just saying the word.
It’s Starbucks so yeah. They’re pretty paranoid about unions after a few locations unionized
One of many, many reason I do not step foot in one or give them my money. I know everyone has to earn a living somehow, but can’t support that place.

Better yet: start getting your coffee from a local shop and stop going to Starbucks at all! The trick is finding a local shop with real specialty drinks, not just a variety of syrup flavors.
Or just at least mid coffee. I live in a coffee producing country, and I’ve tried everything from really expensive coffee to bottom of the barrel, both local and from abroad. The only cup of coffee I sipped and spat out was a Starbucks in Houston.
Starbucks burns the shit out of their beans for consistency … it’s all consistently burnt with no unique flavor
It’s designed to be the base of a drink that’s 30% sugar. The bitterness helps offset the sweetness.
It’s also done to increase the shelf life of the beans. So if you get Starbucks coffee, there’s a good chance you’re drinking coffee from beans roasted years ago. As someone who exclusively drinks specially coffee, the thought of drinking coffee from beans that were roasted even 3 months ago grosses me out
That’s because it’s objectively terrible coffee.
Exactly this. Starbucks coffee is awful and Schultz sucks.
Easiest way to stop drinking Starbucks is to try drinking their coffee black or look at the nutritional content in your vanilla bean Frappuccino

They don’t shout your name any more it would just be on the build sticker
lol that’s actually funny.
This is what Republicans did when Starbucks removed their Christmas branding for a general holiday theme. They made their names “Merry Christmas” and “Santa”.
Coffee for un-ion eyes
Unionized - Are you a chemist or a labor organizer?
yes
Be careful if you like one, they might loose their job! :D
Yes because getting them fired is such a great idea.
Even ignoring the law, there’s a clear paper trail proving they were forced to say it. It would make more sense to ban the customer.
If they get fired for that, that shit is illegal.
That’s why they don’t get fired specifically for that, they just get fired.
And companies never do anything illegal
I don’t shop there, and wouldn’t want to risk an employee getting fired on my account.
Also, I’ll stick to “Rusty Shackleford” when i’m asked for a name.

ha!
