Fans of long lines, sugar-free hazelnut, and crappy jazz are getting their park passes ready.
It took just over a week for an online job posting to incite outrage and spur a petition, now well on its way to 15,000 signatures, to prevent the job from existing.
The posting, made by Aramark in December, sought qualified candidates to manage a Starbucks. But it’s the coffee shop’s location that drew ire. The Starbucks in question will open within California’s Yosemite National Park this spring.
If that happens, it would mark the introduction of a multi-national retailer into the sacred landscape. As a result, a concerned citizen last week launched a petition urging the Yosemite National Park Administration to block Starbucks’ opening. So far, the petition has more than 11,000 of its 15,000-signature goal.
