As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

A really nice stop at Obscurity in Elburn. The bbq smells delicious (and tastes good too, as I remember from a previous visit). The staff is friendly, the beer is tasty. They have pinball machines and I’ve heard Relient K and Something Corporate over the speakers. I’ll be back!
