You know what would upset Starbucks inc. more than anything else ? Far more than some revolutionary slogans . A SERIOUS UNION ORGANIZING DRIVE AT THE STORES . Why dont a couple dozen gainfully unemployed young radicals put their applications in at Starbucks (if neccasary removing at least a few of their body piercing rings. studs , etc. i know its a huge sacifice but a earlier generation of radicals trimmed their hair a few inches to get on at auto plants s , steel mills , warehouses etc, ) . and if hired (hopefully scattered out over several stores ) after you have been there a few months start ''talking union '' to your co-workers . Whether the union in question is the u.f.c.w. , h.r.e., or the i.w.w. is of secondary importance . The Starbucks mang. would go nuts . Just a thought .

[Authors note: It really doesn't matter who the message was directed at, as the message was received by customers and corporate alike].
