As a proud Union member, American Association of University Professors, I am indicating today that I no longer buy Starbucks coffee and will not until that corporation stops their punishment of American workers who have voted to legally unionize.
I quit #Starbucks because of this. I only go to privately owned coffee shops now, which isn’t always easy in #Seattle where there are 2 Starbucks on every corner.
Learned this from a friend, and I 100% recommend it as an occasional indulgence:
Dominos Pizza, build your own pizza. Change the sauce to parmesan garlic, remove cheese (or keep it if you please), then add feta, banana peppers, pineapple, and baby spinach. Consider adding roasted red peppers. Depending on dietary preferences, you can also add bacon for flavour/saltiness (though I don't).
