November 16, 2023 – Business was brisk at the Sulphur Springs Starbucks Store as baristas whipped up customer’s favorite holiday beverages on what is historically the company’s busiest day. Customers ordering certain beverages on Red Cup Day received a 2023 Reuseable Holiday Cup as employees were hard at work filling orders. Thousands of employees of other Starbucks’ locations chose this day to stage a walkout and strike for better hours and higher pay, but the Sulphur Springs location employees were steadfast in their committment to supplying the caffeinated bevarages to their loyal customers. No work on whether any local employees are members of the Starbucks’ Workers United union that instigated the walkout, but for now Sulphur Springs Starbucks’ customers are safe to get their Peppermint White Hot Chocolate, and other special holiday drinks.
