Starbucks Has a Problem
At a Starbucks in New York City that is usually busy and opens at 5:30, there were signs of employees who did not care. At 6:00, it was in shambles. The street outside was filled with broken trash bags, which have usually been taken away. The sidewalks have generally been washed by 6.
