70.5% of Starbucks baristas are women. Starbucks now requires them to perform additional emotion labor by writing a personal message on customers' cups. If not sufficiently nice, they are disciplined. They must perform friendliness but make it look spontaneous. https://qz.com/emotional-labor-starbucks-baristas-green-apron-service-051926

@amydiehl as someone who worked at Starbucks aeons ago…good fucking luck mandating that during the morning/lunch rush when everyone is cranking out drinks as fast as they can
@amydiehl @quixoticgeek I feel like these companies are run by men who do not understand genuine human interactions.

Yea that's how modern capitalism works, a bunch of autistic mf running the world, just see all the tech industry leaders
@RedKoba I think using ”autistic” as a general-purpose slur involving toxic behavior is way out of bounds. Please don't.
@RedKoba @amydiehl @quixoticgeek The problem isn’t autism — I know plenty of neurodivergent folks who are lovely.
The problem is psychopathy and narcissism.
@RedKoba @michaelgemar @amydiehl I'm pretty sure it's not the autistic ones who are the problem. It's the sociopathic ones we have problems with.
@quixoticgeek @michaelgemar @amydiehl
I was thinking about Altman or Musk, who are diagnosed autistics
Probably sociopaths too but there is no diagnosis yet
