Starbucks just has Spotify playlists now. You can see a store's music on their app now too.

Years ago I worked at Starbucks, and we had limited control over the music. They had their own music label (I think they've dropped it now), and we were allowed to play whatever we wanted from whatever was in rotation at the time. Also they can comp drinks, I understand they have a button for it right on the till now, no need for a supervisor to override, or even justify it later as long as it's not being done excessively. It's supposed to be for when the staff fucks up and they need to make someone happy right now, but every now and again we'd give something away just for the hell of it.

poo poo didn't happen because Starbucks doesn't just put on the radio, and also in my experience 4 year olds like all music, no matter how dumb it is.

Starbucks sounds a lot chiller than the service jobs I worked god drat

Starbucks is definitely a pretty chill service job. They even have good benefits.

Thieves that break into houses in the poorest part of town, well known for their generosity.

The dude who broke into my house and stole my work laptop off my desk turned out to be a good dude, very generous. He was only 17 and I went through this restorative justice process with him, he offered to do all sorts of poo poo to make it up to me. I didn't really care because the police had got my laptop back anyway.

This is like the STDH/Urban Legend I heard about a couple that lived next to some Mafioso stereotypes and befriended them. One day they had their apartment broken into and all their stuff was stolen, and when the Mafioso stereotypes found out they said "Don't call the cops, just give us 24 hours", and using their secret magic shady underworld ways when the nice couple came home from work that day, they found all their stuff waiting for them on the front porch.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

actually, that won't be necessary.
If only following somebody around all day looking for opportunities to gently explain the way(s) in which they are stupid or unobservant were an actual job.

I have absolutely uttered the phrase, "I'm going to pet these cute little shits" and variations thereof in reference to rabbits, chickens, ducks, alapaca, goats, puppies, kittens, calves- pretty much any animal I can try to pet, I will. Petting animals rule.

That part is absolutely believable.
