Fox Campanile in the Peterson Irish Harp 128.
Walking to get coffee. My usual shop is on strike, so I'm taking a longer walk to another shop that I like better anyway.

A coffee shop on strike? I'm intrigued. Was it a staff walkout?

In Detroit, the auto industry was on strike (which effected suppliers and other companies) along with the casinos, and Walgreens. Twas a weird fall season.

Mhm, baristas demanding a living wage.
Second time a local chain of coffee shops has had baristas strike in the past 15 months or so. First it was Heine Bros., now it's Sunergos.

I'm generally always on the side of workers striking. Concerning the baristas/service industry, it's not a black & white issue. Inflation is real, the costs of living increase yearly, but wages rarely follow suit.

As a line cook for 18 years with acquaintances still in the industry, I totally get it. The pandemic did more for increasing kitchen wages than any amount of hard work could.

BTW: what do you call a group of line cooks?

A "heard".
