"My daughter works at this Starbucks’ location. She has told me of a number of issues that do not seem to comply with the current mandates. First and foremost, the fact that Starbucks is allowed to consider themselves an “essential “ business is far beyond accurate; coffee can be obtained at a number of different business that are ACTUALLY deemed essential, such as grocery stores and gas stations, it can even be made at home. In addition, three of her managers have been out sick over the last 4 weeks, her shift supervisor, her assistant manager and her store manager. Two of which were out of work for several weeks, one whom has yet to return to work at all, and two of them both being said to have COVID-19 symptoms and cases. This has yet to have been brought forth to the team, and is at risk of putting the customers they serve at risk, let alone the fact that my daughter has not been able to see either of her grandparents during this time. The store has not been cleaned and sanitized since these managers have been sick." -
