Starbucks is giving out raises - but is it enough?
Starbucks announced they are giving their workers raises. Here are the details:
- A pay increase of at least 10% for all baristas + supervisors
- At least an 11% pay bump for workers with three years of continued service
- At least a 5% pay increase to all starting rates
- An increase to the premium that Starbucks pays above minimum wage in every market
But even with theses increases, some employees want more — and, with minimum wage hikes emerging, many industry giants may be forced to keep up.
What are your thoughts?? Comment below!

I worked there between 2007-2008, and I can’t believe that they STILL haven’t given customers the option to tip with cards or other electronic payments. Supplementing a pay increase with more versatile tipping would make a huge impact.

Starbucks is a stepping stone job...If you increase the salary to high, they will just pass it on to the customers and reduce unemployment. Put the tip jar out and they will make more than the increased pay.
