Striking Starbucks workers in the Castro are back at the coffee shop on Monday after nearly 20 employees picketed outside the store during San Francisco Pride celebrations on Sunday.
Customers recovering from Saturday night festivities were unable to buy their usual soy milk lattes Sunday morning at the 4094 18th St. location, as the store's 18 workers demonstrated outside from 8 a.m. to noon in protest of what they characterize as the company's unfair labor practices.
Most of their neighbors agreed, even if some weren't too happy about the protest waking them up early. "As more states are trying to pass anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation, the removal of Starbucks' Pride support is unacceptable and we are here to fight not only for our basic rights to exist, but thrive," Castro Starbucks store employees in a release.

At the 18th Street Starbucks, the lobby and customer restroom also haven't reopened since closing last year, despite workers' objections.
