I love Starbucks Coffee but stopped going there about 10 years ago.

The price is way too high just for coffee.

Actually, is it still considered coffee? It has turned into a kind of Dessert instead of coffee.

Whip cream, Carmel, Strawberries, Chocolate, Swirls, etc...

I love it but I miss coffee.

I appreciate that they went on strike on a day when foot traffic would be extremely low.

Here's an easy option. Go to Costco. You can get your coffee or latte fix there and they use Starbuck's coffee. The price is half of Starbucks and you get more for your money.

Unskilled and entitled American work force. No sympathy for these people.

The sort of thing the downtrodden workers of Japan should try.

and cause trouble to people that are not related to the company in any way?, also do you know what is the wages situation for Starbucks employees in Japan (I don't, so if you know it will be appreciated). As far as I know, Starbucks is a franchise but franchise does not include wages and employment practices, so the emplyment situation should be following what the Japanese law stipulates.

An if all those people who are unsitified with their income go on and strike.... that will be everyone.

Also going strike the way the US does goes against what Japanese culture is. I have participated in wages strikes here in Japan... I went to work, but I didn't pick up the phone when it ringed, and also I go home once the clock hit 1730...as every other union member did.
