70.5% of Starbucks baristas are women. Starbucks now requires them to perform additional emotion labor by writing a personal message on customers' cups. If not sufficiently nice, they are disciplined. They must perform friendliness but make it look spontaneous. https://qz.com/emotional-labor-starbucks-baristas-green-apron-service-051926

Oh, this is abhorrent. And how long before some unstable guy takes his "message" as an invitation?

@amydiehl @quixoticgeek I feel like these companies are run by men who do not understand genuine human interactions.

@amydiehl as someone who worked at Starbucks aeons ago…good fucking luck mandating that during the morning/lunch rush when everyone is cranking out drinks as fast as they can

@amydiehl @vicgrinberg Imagine being a senior exec, sitting in a meeting where this is proposed.
And agreeing with it. And everyone else around the table agreeing with it.
Pathetic. Run by clowns.

@amydiehl Didn't these C-suite bozos watch Office Space back in the day? It's Jennifer Anniston's character not having enough flair all over again!

@AlexanderVI @czarbucks @amydiehl This is totally "Office Space" Jen Aniston's character being told she is not wearing enough "flair"... surreal. Hey if you like my toot can you look at my "Why AI might be Bad" list and tell me what you think? https://people.freebsd.org/~bms/no-thankyou-genai.txt "Say hello to LUMBERGH for me!"

@amydiehl This is like someone doing the “pieces of flair” bit from OFFICE SPACE in real life.

@RedKoba @michaelgemar @amydiehl I'm pretty sure it's not the autistic ones who are the problem. It's the sociopathic ones we have problems with.

I remember when Starbucks didn't have to force kindness out of their employees.

@quixoticgeek @michaelgemar @amydiehl
I was thinking about Altman or Musk, who are diagnosed autistics
Probably sociopaths too but there is no diagnosis yet

@amydiehl@mstdn.social this “deep acting” demand/job requirement is especially disgusting while Starbucks continues to engage in union busting. According to the company, a barista must realign their internal feelings so they can “authentically express” a positive feeling (and be fired if not), but they’re not allowed to unionize? They’re not allowed to feel their own feelings about working conditions? They must manipulate themselves psychologically but cannot ask for better pay?
Forced to care about random customers, but not allowed to care for themselves or their coworkers?
Starbucks is disgusting.
