Now that they are looking at the tax they are paying due to poor sales since it was revealed starbucks are now attacking the staff benefits...so it looks as though the employees will be contibuting towards their tax payments, I personally used to stop in there but after what they are doing to the staff I will be voting with my wallet,,,,going to use the small independant ones
