The ballot effort to increase the minimum wage for tipped workers faces a new challenge as opponents seek to disqualify signatures collected by organizers.

The Massachusetts Restaurant Association filed an objection to several signatures and petition sheets submitted to the secretary of state by the ballot campaign group, One Fair Wage. The signatures were the final hurdle for ballot organizers to get the issue in front of voters in November.

    Starbucks smells like cigarettes.

    They also burn the bujesus out of their coffee so it tastes the same everywhere. McDonald’s does the same thing. Like crap. But it’s ok because they’re really just adding a modicum of coffee to effectively a milkshake.

    Dunkin kind of expects you to just do cream and sugar, so the coffee has to be better. So it’s decent coffee. Decent coffee isn’t hard. It’s fucking easy. My 15 dollar Mr Coffee makes decent coffee. 2 million bored teenagers around the country are all capable of pouring grounds in to a machine and pressing a button and producing decent coffee.

    Starbucks wants to sell you a bunch of other shit with coffee.

      I think the Starbucks burnt beans also are so that when you add it to some sort of milkshake, you can still taste coffee. I drink black coffee and I think I’m a super taster so it’s the grossest flavor outside of trying to drink an IPA
