He's really going to be pissed when their prices go even higher to pay for the raises and benefits their new union will surely demand.

It boggles my mind that these dingbats (employees), who pour coffee into cups, somehow think they have a right to a job and can demand what they do and how much they get paid. What ever happened to just being thankful that you have a job and doing what the boss says for what he's offering. Roll Eyes

Had to see who that James Cromwell is.

Here's what I would rather have been done. Remove all the other protesters from the store. Then have everyone else go about their business thus depriving them of an audience to play to.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Starbucks carbon footprint is because of cows milk. Lol. How about the dozens of SUVs guzzling gas while waiting in the drive thru line. Starbucks should be walk in only. Glue your nut sack to the drive thru speaker

I never heard of the guy, so I did a little homework. Found some interesting stuff on imdb.com.

  • Is a believer in non-terrestrial intelligence.

  • On July 3, 2001, he was arrested for trespassing during an animal rights demonstration in Virginia, targeting the Wendy's fast food chain. He and four other PETA protesters refused to leave after urging patrons to boycott the restaurant. Cromwell was released on his own recognizance after about five hours. He was ordered to stay out of all Wendy's restaurants in Virginia unless he intends to eat there.

  • Worked with the Black Panthers in the 1960s.

  • Known to be a passionate liberal who openly supports several progressive political causes. Is most outspoken about the protection of animals.

  • In February 2013, Cromwell was arrested for interrupting a University of Wisconsin Board of Regents meeting while showing a graphic photo of a cat to protest about alleged mistreatment of animals on campus. The incident, which garnered widespread press coverage, was resolved on March 25, 2013, when an attorney representing Cromwell entered no-contest pleas to the non-criminal offense and agreed to pay $100 forfeitures and court costs of $263.50. In December 2015, he was removed from an event in New York for heckling an energy company receiving an award.

  • On December 18, 2015, Cromwell and five other people were arrested while protesting against the construction of a power station in Wawayanda, New York, near his home in Warwick, New York. Cromwell and fellow Star Trek actor J.G. Hertzler were among the 19 people arrested in Watkins Glen, New York on June 6, 2016, for a protest against underground gas storage in salt caverns near Seneca Lake. On June 6, 2017, he was escorted out of a Democratic Party fundraiser (which New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi attended) after disrupting the event by protesting about the power station. He and his fellow protesters, called the "Wawayanda Six" were convicted of disorderly conduct and obstruction of traffic. They were fined $375, due June 29, 2017 and sentenced to 16 hours of community service. After refusing to pay the fine, he was sentenced to a week in jail, scheduled to go on July 14.

  • Was sentenced to seven days of jail time after refusing to pay a $375 fine related to his arrest at a protest in Wawayanda, New York. He was initially found guilty of obstructing traffic when he and other five protesters staged a sit-in on the site of Competitive Power Ventures' prospective natural gas-fired power plant in regards to the plant's carbon emissions which would pose a threat to the local environment, and accelerate climate change. [July 2017]

  • In talking about the 2018 midterm elections, he said "If we don't stop [President Trump] now, then we will have a revolution for real. Then there will be blood in the streets."

    “This is nascent fascism,” Cromwell told Variety about Trump’s presidency. “We always had a turnkey, totalitarian state — all we needed was an excuse, and all the institutions were in place to turn this into pure fascism. If we don’t stop [President Trump] now, then we will have a revolution for real. Then there will be blood in the streets.”

    He’s an actor, he’s good at pretending to be somebody else. Other than that he’s a Fucking Moron, next time superglue yourself to the Acela rail by 125th Street.

    Well… he usually plays a complete tool, so go figure.

    Bret Maverick once had him handcuffed nekkid to a telephone pole in the middle of town, so he’s used to humiliation.

    Some nobody actor tried to “make a statement” by attacking the undisputed king of woke coffee preparation? A win all around.
