Starbucks says Niccol can live in his home in Newport Beach, California and commute to Starbucks’ head office 1,000 miles away on a corporate jet
The fucker should fly business class with everybody else
Spirit/Frontier, he’s not allowed to buy a single upgrade in advance, and the employees are required to harass him about the size of his personal item and upcharge him for a carry-on on every single flight.
Economy.

then there’s always the possibility you might end up next to Tom Cruise to make it worse
So, you’re going to continue to increase climate change, rather than just using a zoom call. GOD DAMN CEOS!!! Why the hell is return to office so important to you assholes??? Just do a god damned video call!
A zoom call has the possibility of being recorded. I’m 90% sure at this point all these execs insist on in person meetings is so they can plan and discuss illegal and unethical shit without worry.
I’m only in middle management and I know I feel the difference in the way I talk about things on zoom calls VS in person.
You could also record an in person meeting.
Zoom tells participants if the are being recorded by the zoom app.I think these people just get off on having their fiefdom and serfs in person before them to pander and be sycophants.
You can record a zoom meeting easily with obs. Same for teams. I know, I’ve done it.
Have you considered the culture ?? Hmmm???
Yeah the cubicle farm that smells like farts and microwaved fish is integral to a good days work!
Cubicles? You mean open plan office space for better collaboration!
Self-preservation. If they stay at home for too long, they’ll get sued for domestic violence.

How do you boycott a company you already weren’t buying anything from?
Cockroaches + Starbucks product + video
Bricks
Take their coffee grounds for compost?
Bricks are cheap
Go there every day and ask for a water. It’s free, but you’re costing them a tiny amount each time.
Oh I was gonna recommend arson. Maybe your plan is better
Your plan is certainly quicker, which is an upside.
Well you gotta use up all their water first
Free water, arson, bricks, and bullhorns. With these four powers combined, I am… Captain Protest!
Insurance will cover it, so you’re just hurting everyone else who has to pay for insurance.
Use the bathroom and flush four times!
Also grab something on the way out and don’t pay for it.
You mean pickett?
Shoplift?
Buy stuff and then return it, over and over? I couldn’t do this with Starbucks because I wouldn’t want to even smell it.
Molotovs.
Be glad he’s not hypercommuting
He could commute from 1 casino in Vegas to like down the street in Vegas
This is it, y’all! This is the one.
No political messaging, no debatable tech contribution, no societal contribution, the company will be fine because they change CEOs like I change my underwear.
I think everyone can agree, this is the one we eat. It’s time to send a message and enjoy a damn fine meal.
I think there should be tax on flights, and the tax rate should double every time you fly in a year.
Nobody needs to be this cunty.
Taxes need to scale with income. Your plan will hurt regular people that have to fly to see family.
Fuckers like this CEO make too much money and they need to be taxed into oblivion.
Can i vote for you?
For private flights, correct?
All flights, proportional to the income of the passenger.
Not if you actually want to fix the environment.
So everyone that was going to take the plane has to drive now because it’s too expensive to take mass transport on a commercial plane?
They will likely just travel less.
Fuel rationing. You get a certain ammount of fuel per year with no extra taxes on it. If you use above that ammount, you’re charged a marginal environment tax.
Can’t we just mandate bio or syn fuel? It also costs more (which is they don’t use it) so will have the same discouragement factor, plus the carbon emissions are at least from currently active carbon, rather than carbon that’s been sequestered hundreds of millions of years
That would require arable land, which would affect food production or require devastating wild areas to create new monoculture farms. Both options would come with horrible side-effects for society and/or environment.
Certainly there is a scaling problem. However there are prototype fuels from several crops, and marine plants. There’s also synfuel which may not require crops.
Then we have all that crop land currently dedicated to corn for ethanol. What will happen to tha land and those farmers as we transition to EVs? Maybe they could switch over to jet fuel
Anybody that flies that many times a year should be sacrificed to the sun god. If the sun god doesn’t take us all before that.
Maybe people will actually want good trains as an alternative then.
Eat the rich
I keep my cutlery sharp in preparation.
Remember kids, climate change is your fault specifically, and only you can make things better by making your own life harder!
I stopped using plastic straws at Starbucks. If enough of you join me we can compensate for an entire weeks worth of the carbon footprint of this very important man.
Gosh. Thinking about all the time I wasted on the damn bus today made this sting more than usual.
The sooner we destroy all private jets the better.
There are legitimate reasons for private jets to exist, though the list is admittedly small.
The ability to transport lifesaving medications and things like organs long distances as fast as possible comes to mind.
There isn’t much reason for individuals to travel on private jets in non emergency scenarios though
Transporting organs doesn’t happen on Private Jets, helicopters and courier craft typically do the job. It’s also now well within the possibility for medium sized drones to be able to rapdily move something the size of an organ container reliably long distance, faster and more efficient than a jet can load, fuel, taxi, land and unload.
Private Jets are just luxury items of the rich, and are the carbon equivalent of burning down small forests or power a small town with coal burning. There is nothing they do that can’t be done more efficiently by a drone or helicopter for a fraction of the emissions.
What helicopters and drones are flying over the ocean, across Europe, Africa and North America?
And what is a ‘courier craft’ do you mean a private airplane?
Private != Billionaire owned, it means a privately owned plane that flies general aviation (non FAR 121)
Transferring organs absolutely happens in private jets.
I think you might just not know what the term ‘private jet’ means.
I’m sure that private (meaning small) jets can have valid use cases, it’s the abuse by the rich that is the problem.
“Private” doesn’t mean “small”. It means “privately owned”, which means by a rich person.
Even if we are talking about specifically jets that are owned privately, they could have legit use cases. It’s the abuse that is the issue. I agree with the whole “eat the rich” sentiment, but that’s a separate issue. In the system where rich people exist, the problem is abuse.
I vote for we start destroying the private jets without reservation and if we encounter a legitimate use case we’ll deal with it at that time.
But that won’t solve anything. That’s like treating diabetes by drinking diet soda.
That worked for me, that and sugar free Gatorade. Took me down from 8.3 to 4.5 without insuline. That being said, I’m an anomaly in that I don’t eat much processed food or bread. Just a really bad pop addiction.
Yeah, maybe it was a bad example, because in some very specific scenario, it can work. My point was that treating a symptom won’t cure the underlying disease. Just like as long as there are rich people, trying to take away their planes won’t work.
Many could be refitted for worthy uses like fighting wildfires and transporting patients
Legit use cases… Make A Wish comes to mind, but maybe that’d be a corporate jet or not a traditionally-private jet.
Any exemptions for sports teams or anything? VIPs whose lives are at risk through no real fault of their own…
What you’re describing are use cases for charter flights - renting an aircraft for a specific, temporary purpose, usually from a company specialising in such flights - they own or lease the aircraft and employ the flight crew and maintenance staff.
*private jet owners
Both?
…To shreds you say?
“I’m tall and have great hair, and I feel my thralls really need to see that.”
I’m tall and have great hair. Am I supposed to have thralls?
Well fuck you and your co² farting anus, Brian Niccol!
We need to return to the office though.
Piece of shit, wow!
I wonder what happened to all the Chipotle head office employees who had to relocate to be near this guy now that he bounced
