re: Starbucks employees are having meltdowns because the company has a new dress code policy

Looks like they are just having them wear a solid black shirt.
That’s it. A solid crew neck or colored shirt and jeans, black pants, or khakis. They can also wear a Starbucks branded Tshirt.
They are also giving every employee 2 free Starbucks Tshirts.
That’s what these people are upset about - they can’t look sloppy. That’s how crazy they are.

wanting to be a travel nurse (but "struggled" to find the right opportunity),
People only see how much money they make. Yes, the money is very good. But traveling isn't for everyone - especially for people that aren't motivated. You have a lot of people that give up trying to be a travel nurse when they find out that they have to actually work and cant sit around half of the day.

Then, get this, they supposedly dangled raises in front of some firefighters and then snatched them away when the union got involved
I mean if they were going to give out raises and now their is a union, then they will need to negotiate with the union.

Louisianans are conservatives until you try to eliminate a tax, govt revenue stream, or a program.
That's because a lot of them are old Democrats that just changed to "Republican" because they couldn't win an election in this state with a "D" behind their name.

Landry is a joke in many ways but this might be the highest. Dude you’re the governor I get it you shouldn’t HATE LSU but this guy acts like he legit went there. He never stepped foot on campus.
Landry could use his position to boost up his Alma mater in Lafayette but that doesn’t suit his agenda so
Make no mistake, he doesn’t like LSU. He’s ULL through and through. But in this state you can’t hate LSU and be in politics so he just pretends in order to further his political career.
re: White House denounces Amazon for plan to disclose cost of US tariffs

The White House on Tuesday denounced Amazon's reported plans to disclose the cost that U.S. tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump were adding to its products, and slammed the retail giant for its past ties to China.
I am actually for them posting the additional tariff amount. It will make it easy to see what charge should be removed when the tariffs adjust. Other companies are just going to increase the price and then when the tariffs are adjuster just back down a little - BAM - the "new" permanent price is now much higher .
It also will show how much garbage we buy form China - even it it has an American sounding company name.

LSU should demand they give back all the money they helped raise for the family
This is really what the lawsuit is about. They want the money - no strings attached. Since it was raised through LSU it has to be spent on verified medical bills & care - which the family won't provide.
quote:
The lawsuit also alleges that LSU used his name, image and likeness and publicly disclosed his medical information without his consent. He also claims LSU has refused to transfer money from a Tiger Athletic Foundation donation fund the school created in his name to him and his family.

It’s a State law that you can have a gun in your vehicle even on private property where you work. Or I think the employer has to provide a safe storage place for it while at work. Naturally the employer chooses the former.
The law is:
quote:
D. This Section shall not apply to:
(3) Any vehicle on property controlled by a public or private employer or business entity if access is restricted or limited through the use of a fence, gate, security station, signage, or other means of restricting or limiting general public access onto the parking area, and if one of the following conditions applies:
(a) The employer or business entity provides facilities for the temporary storage of unloaded firearms.
(b) The employer or business entity provides an alternative parking area reasonably close to the main parking area in which employees and other persons may transport or store firearms in locked, privately-owned motor vehicles.
Amazon parking is definitely behind a locked fence/secure access with signage. The question is whether or not that have another place to park "reasonably close" for people who want to bring their guns.

Based on my simple math, at 39 billion for 7,500 stores, that comes out to about 5.2 million for each location.
That was how many stores corporate owned in the late 80s. It didn’t count the franchises.
7-Eleven now has 80,000 stores in 20 countries.

i remember back in the nineties circle k bought them out.
They only bought about 500 stores from Southland. Southland held on to their other 7,500ish stores (and eventually sold out to a Japanese company). The reason you think they "bought" 7Eleven is because most of those 500 stores were in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and the panhandle of Florida.
Circle K offered to buy 7Eleven last year for $39B and that was turned down.

Bans mass balloon releases
This was on WBRZ today. Apparently releasing balloons is the best way to grieve for a subset of the community. I'm guessing it's right up there with ghost bikes and setting up a shrine on the side of the road on land you don't own.
quote:
Cathy Toliver lost her 3-year-old grandson Devin Page Jr. to gun violence three years ago. She's held balloon releases in his memory but also encourages others to participate.
"Because we know they're no longer here in the natural, but when we release those balloons, it's like we're sending them up to Heaven and reaching our loved ones. Why would someone want to make a bill to stop that?" Toliver said. “So if you're going to say because of the environment, we're living in Hell. We're living in all types of things that are wrong in this universe.”
She said this bill would rip away part of people's grieving process.
"If you pass this bill and say no more balloon releases you are becoming a dictator and that is wrong. You do not dictate to people how they can grieve," Toliver said.
