Starbucks has an understaffing problem, according to nearly nine out of 10 workers surveyed in a recent study.

Coworker.org, an online platform that allows workers to organize around certain issues, surveyed 184 Starbucks employees and 89% said that staffing was a problem at their locations over the past three months.

Maybe they are understaffed because not enough muslim refugees have coming knocking.  Maybe the employees don't have the work ethic of the people before them and the staffing is sufficient.  Or Starbucks has intentionally understaffed their stores.
