Members of a recently formed union of Starbucks workers hold a rally to celebrate the first anniversary of their founding, December 9, 2022 in New York City. Starbucks workers in New York City have filed 14 more complaints alleging that the coffee giant violated the city's labor laws. Starbucks baristas have repeatedly accused the company of running afoul of the law: They have filed nearly 70 complaints with the city related to the law since February. The allegations come as Starbucks baristas at more than 200 locations nationwide strike Thursday, on the company's busy Red Cup promotion day. Starbucks Workers United said the strike is protesting understaffing at the company's locations, particularly on promotion days.

Starbucks and Chick-fil-A executives have said that long drive-thru lines keep away customers. Long drive-thru lines are "one of the number one reasons for not visiting Starbucks," Chief Marketing Office Brady Brewer told investors in Seattle at the company's investor day on September 13. Potential customers see the long line from the road and decide not to join, or leave from the end of the line before ordering, which is referred to as "line balk," at Starbucks, Brewer said. Chick-fil-A famously deals with the same problem, with its long lines regularly making headlines and frustrating local lawmakers and neighboring business owners. In 2021, exiting CEO Dan Cathy said how much business lines could be costing the chain.
