Benefits that matter
“I’ve got dental, I’ve got eye care, I’ve got my stock options; I’ve got it all! Starbucks just gives you stock for working at Starbucks and then you can cash it out, and then that’s just money for you – I used mine to go on vacation last year. I’ve made some really good friends, I have a knitting club – we’re all baristas that knit. I met my boyfriend at Starbucks…coffee brings people together.”
