California, like most states, requires TB testing for health care workers. Employees of restaurants are not required by California law to be tested for TB prior to hiring.
SNIP: I call complete BS! How many showed up for the ‘event’ and how many will they actually hire ?
And if this ‘refugee’ business was so important to Starbucks, why didn’t they just start hiring ‘refugees’ when they first started showing up back in 2010 without all this fanfare?
TB is ever present now and none of these people need a doctor’s note to work in the restaurant business. But Starbucks and Chipotle, as an example, want to play chicken with the public’s health.
Are these people trying to become Target? Because this is how you become Target.
I stopped using Starbucks years ago!
In caliph phony there are two classes of workers,
White cholera and blue cholera.
In the 70’s a TB test verification from a doctor was required in San Diego County to be employed by a restaurant. When did it change?
@mmm – I used to live in San Diego in a previous life and I distinctly remember having to get a TB test to work in a restaurant. It was either the late 70s or early 80s.
How you going to share diversity with out sharing illness. Ya Can’t.
A single step PPD test isn’t that valuable. A two step PPD should be done, and that takes several weeks, due to the time required between the steps. Unless the 2 step is done, TB can sneek by. Probably latent, but who knows? If innoculation was done for TB (not done in US, but is in other countries), a false positive will probably result. Testing should be done. Just ask typhoid Mary.
And by the same token, border crossers should have the 2 step test done, but the chances of them reappearing later is sort of non-existent. There’s a lot of ‘stuff’ wandering around our country, and we don’t know what or how much it is.
Bring back Ellis Island.
Judging by the local McDonald’s they started doing this sometime ago. The need to bus them in from a ways. Anyway I stopped my egga muffin habit sometime ago for just that reason.
Seriously? Starbucks is for sissies.
🌮 Hepatitis 🌮
It reminds me of a college campus that has LOTS of homosexuals, and the campus TACO BELL had repeated outbreaks of hepatitis.
1st it was “homophobia” to blame the gay community for its high rates of hepatitis, stemming from all the fecal matter from buttsex.
2nd it turned out to be a Taco Bell worker, who was LIKELY GAY, but certainly not provable. (wink wink, he was gay)
*Doctors have CONSTANTLY demanded that gay men be vaccinated for hepatitis whether they currently have it or not, since it is so prevalent and re-occurring in gay communes.
Dang it. Now I find out I’m a sissy.
I make good coffee at home, but if I want the Starbux experience I’l pour myself a nice large cup, shout out my name incorrectly, light a $5.00 bill on fire and scrape the ashes into the cup!
$2.65, even in Cali.
I’ll Have a Mocha Latte With a Shot of Tb, and a Salmonella Croissant !!!
Don’t care for their coffee, or the metrosexual baby skin hands, pot head dudes working there.
mmm, KenH, I applied for a 2nd job at a restaurant back in the early 2000s in LA. The application had nothing to say on it about a TB test or hepatitis. But it was ‘preferred’ and ‘a plus’ for the applicant to speak Spanish fluently dontcha know.
Am I the only one in this lot who has never set foot in California? (OK, well, I went through LAX once, but I never left the airport, just went through customs and then flew through some hallway with big glass walls trying to make it to my connecting flight to get home.)

Sounds like you set foot in California.
Brad, I’ve long heard there actually is a lot of beauty to be seen in California, and it irks me to no end that the only time I was within the borders all I saw were swarms of humanity cramming in a giant room and a blur as I ran to what seemed like the other side of the airport.
Would love to see the Pacific Coast Highway.

PCH is worth seeing. But then you need to head north. Start at Shasta and work your way north.
Cafe Bustelo espresso instant coffee. It’s wonderful in the morning.
