Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz says $15/hour minimum wage will hurt business
READ STORY <<then a link a photo of a poster>>
The article linked does not agree with what LFR put as a subject line. A couple of DUmmies point this out to her, but like gNads and Dorkangel, she doesn't correct the error. This first one is fairly kind, just telling her she made an error.Response to Lady Freedom Returns (Original post)

3. Your link does not contain what you say the Starbucks CEO said.
This one is a bit more harsh, paraphrasing 'You made a mistake in your post, and you are chastising someone who agrees with The Annointed One.'Response to Lady Freedom Returns (Original post)

5. Actually he did not say that and the article is about his support for raising the minimum wage.
This OP suggests he opposes such a raise. He never says 'it will hurt business' and he makes no mention of Starbuck's own business being hurt, he says some small businesses will have fear about a large hike and that seems pretty truthful to me. He supports exactly what the President supports, 10.10 which I think is too low, but to hang this guy for agreeing with the administration's wage policy is odd to me. And I kind of hate Starbucks.

Very odd....She took the title off of the poster at the bottom of her thread. Now everyone is saying he didn't say that. :confused:

What she says in her OP is not on the poster at the bottom of her thread. Roughly similar, but not quite the same. Accuracy can be your friend, and it wasn't in the LFR OP.
DUmmy Bluenorthwest summed up her error nicely in his/her response.
