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
@amydiehl it’s been this way there for years, I left in 2019. the last 1.5yrs there is when they really started cranking this stuff up big time

@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!
... According to Reddit, that film is the reason TGI Friday staff stopped having to do similar.

@RedKoba I think using ”autistic” as a general-purpose slur involving toxic behavior is way out of bounds. Please don't.
@timbray @RedKoba @amydiehl @quixoticgeek Absolutely.

@Epic_Null @quixoticgeek @michaelgemar @amydiehl
Don't get me wrong, the autistic part was of the stereotype about being unable to understand other humans. We all know Sheldon Cooper is not real but that's how is portrayed in the collective imagination
@RedKoba @Epic_Null @quixoticgeek @amydiehl I’m sure you didn’t mean to offend, but I’d stop digging.

You could have picked white men, a much more accurate demographic, but chose neurodivergent people.
I'm not sure how deep your experience of Autistic people is, because in my experience they are often far more empathetic than normies, and I have a lot of experience in this area.
Case in point, more likely to be interested in animal welfare, less interested in racism and far right ideology.

@amydiehl Reminds me of Jennifer Anniston's "flair" in the movie "Office Space."

@RedKoba @michaelgemar @amydiehl @quixoticgeek well that's pretty goddamned offensive. Not to mention patently false.
@ianto_jones @michaelgemar @amydiehl @quixoticgeek
My intention was not to be offensive to people with autism; that would be self-offensive. The people I'm talking about identify themselves as autistic. And, of course, my intention wasn't to be precise; there is a difference between using correct terms and terms everyone understands.I hate to be on that side, but I don't believe in all that woke stuff. I don't care about words or definitions but about material reality.

@amydiehl “make a connection during handoff”?! You are giving someone their coffee. This is not a “moment”, the idea that there is a connection to be made here is something out of a rom-com or horror flick (depending on the actual feelings of the parties involved). What the fuck!

@amydiehl yes, absolutely, require women to falsely signal emotional connection in this deeply embedded rape culture—we have stochastic terrorism, is there such a thing as stochastic rape?

White men wouldn't be precise either. There are some women, negroes, arabs, indians, jews, etc. In that world, probably the only thing every one of them has in common is that all are pro-capitalism and have money as the highest value in life even over other peoples life -

You're just going further, offending more people. Stop digging. Maybe even apologise.
