    This fuckin’ guy. He lives in Newport Beach and was made the CEO of Chipotle, which was headquartered in Denver. Since he didn’t want to move to Denver, he laid off almost the entire corporate office and moved it to Newport Beach.

    He justified all this by having a consulting company come in and do a study about where the best restaurant talent is in the US. Surprise, surprise. The best place for a corporate office just happened to be right where this assclown lived.

    I guess what I’m saying is two things:

    1. Fuck this clown.

    2. Starbuck corporate employees are about to be surprised to learn that apparently Newport Beach has the best coffee talent in the country.

      Consultancy firms know where their bread is buttered. In cases like this one, they’re not much more than professional yes-men in suits.

    Stuff like this is why I hate these companies so much. Yeah mate I’ll use a paper straw for your overpriced coffee to save the environment, you can continue to come to your office in a fucking plane everyday.

      I started boycotting Starbucks when I learned they had partnered with Nestle for store-bought products - their Sumatra and Komodo Dragon coffees were pretty good.

      I send an email every year or so to let them know, since boycotts aren’t effective if the group being boycotted doesn’t know why, with predictably apathetic responses.

      Anyway, if you’re a no-Nestle person then Starbucks is on the list…

    Fuck this guy. The only thing I think of when I see his face is that god awful video he did about Chipotle’s portion sizes.

    It should honestly be a disqualifying demonstration of bad decision making.

    You can either put in a lot of effort straight away (saving time and effort later), or delay the inevitable, pay quite a large sum in transport costs every day, and have to do infinite airport runs?..

    Choosing the latter shows he shouldn’t have the job.

    I used a paper straw once, it fucking melted in my drink because paper doesn’t work well with liquids

      I remember when Maccas stopped using straws in France.

      They just printed on the cup - “We’ve stopped using plastic straws. To drink, remove lid. You’re not an infant”

      Don’t suppose that’d work in a country of insufferable crybabies though lol

    Life on earth isn’t going to last much longer if we tolerate these types of people

      Unfortunately a significant proportion of the population idolizes these parasites because they think they too could be billionaires if they just lick those boots hard enough.

      As long as we keep pretending conservatism is a valid political ideology, things will only get worse

    I realize as a mere pawn in the giant corporate chess game I have no right to ask this question.

    But how in the ever loving fuck is this man providing that much value that he can justify this kind of action. There wasn’t another candidate for the job that could do 90% of the same work, but was willing to live in the same zip code as their employees and save the cost and emissions of this commute? I guess this man will result in the most profit for shareholders. I can’t even comprehend how someone can justify it, though.
