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:
-
Fuck this clown.
-
Starbuck corporate employees are about to be surprised to learn that apparently Newport Beach has the best coffee talent in the country.
It all makes sense now, why the headquarters is close to Boeing Field. Remember, patronize your local coffee shop, no matter how cheap this shit gets. I live in Seattle, btw.
Who goes to Starbucks for the coffee anyway? I goto places like Starbucks for over sugared blended ice drinks.

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
We’re already past the tipping point. Don’t have any more children.
Maybe there’s a higher power who you will be judged by. Even if not, there is no need to be wasteful at the expense of other life.
This guy looks so out of touch… Looks like the kind of guy that goes to a donut shop and when asked what he wants, he says, “uh, just whatever makes sense”
Can he commute via billionaire submarine instead?
Or yacht off Sicily
I’d boycott them but I haven’t had Starbucks in years.
I’ve been boycotting it for a while but honestly it’s not hard. If I’m going to spend Starbucks money on a drink there are so many better places around.
I had it once and it was shit, I’ll get Timmies Ho’s before that trash
Just had my first cup in years and it was trash. My macchiatos are so much better.
I just spent enough for a month supply of espresso on a fucking cup… Was away from home and got weak
Did he say he would do it every day? I know he’s not moving but in my (admittedly limited) experience execs fly up Monday morning and stay to Thursday or Friday night and fly home.
The crazy thing is that when I try to put myself in their shoes, it would be hell to commute to an office by a plane, even if it had all the luxuries in the world, 5 days a week. That’s like 5 hours wasted every weekday. If I had private jet money I’d just work from home or if that’s not possible, buy a house a walking distance from the office.
PRIVATE jet though. He’s not standing in line with his shoes off
It’s still 5 hours stuck in a loud metal tube every day, with no freedom to get out without landing somewhere.
private jet isnt like a regular plane though just imagine a man cave that can go anywhere
Sounds nice until you have to commute every day in it, same as driving a car.
what dude cant pay for a fancy hotel or something? seriously?
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.
Just don’t buy Starbucks and this MF will magically disappear. It’s terrible anyway…
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…
I started boycotting Starbucks since the first time I tasted their coffee. Espresso isn’t supposed to taste like burning tyres. I don’t understand how they can charge so much for dogshit coffee.
It’s not impossible to make a chain of coffee houses that serves decent coffee, Espresso House did it in Sweden.
It’s genuinely some of the worst coffee you can get. They only specialize in drinks that are basically just milkshakes with coffee in them.
Hersheys + ice + milk + coffee beats any iced mocha they’ve ever made at starbucks.
Australian’s know good coffee.
That’s at least a good 6 cups of Starbucks purchased by my wife.
What a bitch, fuck him with a traffic cone!
A traffic cone is too good for billionaires, barbed-wire is more suitable.
I’m a fan of the good old Garden Weasle, myself.
Also don’t forget that remote work bad!
Right?? Private jet or no private jet, I would jump at the chance to just decree from on high that corporate HQ was now virtual. Like why make that much money and still enslave yourself to a commute?
CEO’s are the pox upon this planet! They are only here to maximize profits in anyway possible wich usually means fucking over everyone they can
Remember they only have to maximise profits because of the exorbitant salaries they demanded.
The profits were already there before they took them, and now they want the customers to increase their profits so they can hand that to their shareholders
I’d say in general sure, but I’ve known some CEOs of small companies who really do care. They just never make it to massive companies, probably because they aren’t willing to do the horrible shit needed to “take it to the next level.”
In our healthcare system they’re talking about refusing non emergent treatment for people without insurance until they get Medicaid, which can apparently take a month. This would save about 20million, which is strikingly close to what Propublica reports the system pays in executive compensation. In other words, if the money is THAT important, we have a way to save that money without literally denying cancer care (time is a factor). But reduction in executive expenses isn’t on the table. Fuck these high earning sociopaths.
That guy’s private jet is gonna crash with him in it.
We need sky orcas to deal with the sky yachts.
I’m thinking armored California Condors? Maybe highly trained pods of Bald Eagles, with cybernetic enhancements.
Pigeon mounted nuclear arsenal
This is not far off the actual mark. Didn’t the US use pigeons as actual targeting systems in missiles at one point?
Optimists like you make me sick.
