A Deaf Barista @ Starbucks! SUPER COOL!



This is super amazing and awesome! It is so great to see a Hearing Impared Person working at Starbucks and I would love to be served by this man! He seems like a great Employee!!!

I love the board they created for him so he can interact with Customers! People who have issues with ordering drinks from a person like this need to grow up and learn to be more tolerant!

Way to Go Jason Griggs!!! - You are a true Barista!

Starbucks in Vancouver - 2 x 2





Only in Vancouver EH!!!

You can go anywhere and fine 1 starbucks directly accross from another!

At Metrotown Mall you can find 4 of them in the mall! LIKE SERIOUSLY!
Down on Sct Rd in Surrey you can find 3 within 1 full block! 1 @ Safeway, 1@ Chapters and 1 Standalone Corperate Store! OMG!!!

A little crazy are we... yes!!! But its all soooooo good!

Only problem is the F-ing HST! Shambles Campbells is costing our province our Lifestyles with his "Hated Sales Tax"! Taxation without Representation!

What do Starbucks and Wal-Mart have in common?



I work in a Union Environment and although im not a Steward or anything I do Beleive in the General Rights of Workers Everywhere! (Not to sound like im brainwashed) I do believe that union workers do make more per Capita then non-union workers!

Canadian Starbucks Workers probably make more on Average then US Starbucks workers but in all Working Conditions need to change!
