TKC EXCLUSIVE AND BREAKING NEWS!!! EVERYBODY AGAINST THE ROASTERIE AND THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA SEARCH FOR VOLUNTEERS INSTEAD OF EMPLOYEES!!!
In our ongoing BATTLE AND TKC BOYCOTT AGAINST THE ROASTERIE . . . We have received an EPIC communique from the front lines aimed at the uncaring coffee biz.
To wit . . .
TAKE A LOOK AT KANSAS CITY COMMUNITY CRITICISM TARGETING THE ROASTERIE FOR A SOCIAL MEDIA SEARCH FOR VOLUNTEERS INSTEAD OF EMPLOYEES!!!
Check it:
"You'll have to check out The Roasterie's latest attempt to @s$ r@pe KC - they've put out a call for volunteers... VOLUNTEERS.... to be "part of the bean team" at their factory....Rather than hire actual employees, you know, like most companies do. The elitist pricks assume that everyone is so enamored with them...no, with Danny, that people will come in droves to voluntarily perform tasks that people USED to get paid to do."
We checked the Roasterie FB page and here's the offer that Kansas City MUST refuse:
Text . . .
"Are you interested in being a part of our special events? Want to buzz around town in The Roasterie Air Stream? Hankering to help our factory team? Email us at info@theroasterie.com and tell us you want to get involved with our volunteer Bean Corps!
As a token of our thanks, Bean Corps members get special invites to our events and receive a bag of coffee for every hour of service they do."
Two things . . .
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE HYPE ABOUT THE ROASTERIE CREATING JOBS?!?!? LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE REALLY JUST TRYING TO WASTE THE TIME OF KANSAS CITY COFFEE SUCKERS!!!
And then . . .
NOT ONLY IS THE ROASTERIE BLIGHTING A WORKING CLASS KANSAS CITY NEIGHBORHOOD . . . THEY LITERALLY WANT TO PAY PEOPLE IN BEANS!!! THIS LATEST OFFER IS NOT ONLY UNACCEPTABLE BUT RUNS COUNTER TO THEIR SO-CALLED "FAIR TRADE" BRANDING!!!
Again, we're in this fight for the long haul and until the horrible and blighting Kansas City promo plane comes down . . . Thankfully, the arrogant antics of the Roasterie have inspired more than a few Kansas City residents to join this fight against coffee corruption!!!
DEVELOPING . . .
Maybe they'll hire YOU Tony.
ReplyDeleteGo apply.
This whole thing is pretty funny.
ReplyDeleteTony "don't need no stinkin beans!"
At the end of the year, do they issue a 1099 for the "Beans" you earned?
The plane is cool looking.
I think they should put a statue of Indianna Jones climbing out of it.
Was that the plane in the Indianna Jones movies?
Have a statue of Indy, in the cockpit, drinking a cup of Joe.
Do the math: getting paid one bag of coffee per hour is almost double minimum wage.
ReplyDeleteIs a Volunteer Bean Core a Mexican Seal Team 6?
ReplyDeleteTony would rather Mexicans work the window at McDonalds.
ReplyDeletetake a breath
ReplyDeleteCoffee beans instead of pay and benefits? Shame on you Danny.
ReplyDeleteWhat does Tony have against this home grown successful company? I don't get it. Quit telling them how to run their business Tony. They are obviously successful at what they do, something you know nothing about.
ReplyDelete7:43 - A bag of coffee at the Roasterie's cost is not minimum wage. That is simple math. It's shady business practice, and a way for O'Neill to get people to oogle over him, he's an egotistical a-hole that expects people to do things for free for him, because he considers paying in coffee as getting something for free. Just ask any of the vendors he's worked with over the years how many services or products were paid for with coffee. Oh, and anyone that doesn't accept his offer of coffee rather than cash for payment is berated and talked about like some middle school bullies on the school bus. It's a disgrace, the company is a disgrace and Danny is a fraud, plain and simple. People think his exceptional "PR" face and marketing skills means he runs a great company, they have no idea what really goes on behind the scenes in that place, it is pure hell.
ReplyDeleteNo harm in asking. He's not forcing anyone to volunteer.
ReplyDeleteZzzz.
ReplyDeleteYour outrage is misplaced, TKC.
Unlike the govt. which can use its police power to tax and regulate citizens, the Roasterie can be told 'no thanks' or 'eff off.'
Heyyyyyyyyyyy...what is going on with the feral negroid named Michael Cubie that sucker punched a hard working older public service that was doing his job.
ReplyDeleteAli Cubbi got off with about 11 years for shooting a man in the head twice and stabbing him 23 times. In proportion for the alomost non existent punishment for Black on Whte crime I bet Cubie 2 gets to pull down his pants and the judge will kiss his ass for what he did.
We have yet to see how easy the courts will go on Drone for shooting a driver.
Tony...keep us informed on the coddling of the Neo Panther Feral Negroids assualting, killing and raping white people and how the courts are slapping their hands.
This is a national epidemic finally showing its face here. The Lame stream media is keeping it quiet. You have a chance to the tattler on this epidemic that has been growing since the Nov 08 election.
I will join the boycott but only because I don't care for the "air roasting" gimmicks of the Roasterie.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, paying someone in coffee beans is sleazy.
T is upset because he sees the plane every time he leaves the basement.
ReplyDeleteIsn't this the Republican jobs plan in action?
ReplyDeleteI wish Boulevard did this. Id take payment in beer. Or hops.
ReplyDeleteHey, that's a different story. Beer payments are totally worth it.
ReplyDeleteJuan Valdez likes this.

ReplyDeleteNext we'll see men on corners holding sign that says:
"Will work for Coffee"
Boulevard does have a similar program, you volunteer at tours and other events in exchange for beer.
ReplyDeleteThey probably copied it directly from Boulevard. Afterall, everything he does is a copycat move of something Boulevard does. They have no original ideas, only re-imagination of someone else's unique concept that in the the manic mind of Danny O'Neill makes him a superstar.
ReplyDeleteOkay.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to correct something that came up on here.
The lowest price coffee from The Roasterie RETAILS for about $7.33.
Minimum wage in Missouri is $7.25.
But when you talk about reselling the coffee to get cash in hand the value drops dramatically.
No one is going to buy coffee from you that they could easily pick up at the store. At most you could only resell for about $4-5 and that's nowhere near minimum wage. Frankly, I don't see what the benefit is to working for free in a coffee warehouse. Giving tours is nice but its something that should require a bit of payment or something besides a "bean corps" membership that doesn't hold much real financial value.
Just my 2 cents.
11:17? "No original ideas"?
ReplyDeleteHow many planes do you see on top of coffee warehouses throughout the country toolbag?
11:25, your "two cents" isn't worth jack shit. They are asking for "volunteers". What part of that word don't you understand?
ReplyDelete11:47 - there have been planes on other buildings IN KANSAS CITY BEFORE. plus he got the idea because there was a car on a building right by there. It is not novel, it is not new, it is just a reinvention of an old gimmick.
ReplyDeleteDanny is total dick and his coffee sucks!
ReplyDeleteand his wife is a bitch!
ReplyDeleteI love that airplane and it sure beats the hell out of those four dumb ass sputnik looking things on top of Bartle Hall. They cost millions and not one of the left wing cry babys were protesting that silly looking shit 'cause their mighty Prince Cleaver did that.
ReplyDeleteIt is odd that a Beaner
ReplyDeleteOn Roasteria got meaner
Says paying in beans
Is bad by all means
Boycott the air roasted stuff
An Aeorplane way too much
Nothing else matters enough
Roasteris's plane worth the Huff.
Methinks thou earnst sire Tony
Be haughty, hollow and phony
11:54. Name ONE building in Kansas City that had an airplane on top of it.
ReplyDeleteIt's basically an extension of the old inflatable monkey in the car lot gimmick -- so let's not all start sucking on Dannyboy's schlong at once now shall we?
ReplyDeleteNot uncoming for volunteers to assist companies in their community especially in that industry. BTW - the plane looks awesome. Nice to see a landmark on the Westside.
ReplyDeleteThere is or was a Mexican Resturant off 50 Hwy in Lee's Summit that had an airplane on the roof
ReplyDeleteAMEN 12:20!!!
ReplyDeleteI went to Roasterie in Brookside in opposition to the boycott. I was treated shabbily in appreciation for not boycotting their coffee.
ReplyDeleteGuess Tony is right. uck dat store and coffee.
AMC used to pull this crap all the time only with their vendors. Why anyone would want movie passes at face value in lieu of payment of an invoice is beyond me.
ReplyDeleteTheir targeting bored well to do yuppies and trust fund babies who don't have to work moron.
ReplyDeleteSounds like some kinda Mexican deal. Whatever.
ReplyDeleteHabenero's across the nation in Lee's Summit have airplanes on their restaurants.
ReplyDeleteNot original at all. Just a stupid gimmick.
Go away Danny and stop trying to rip off your workers.
Oh I see, so since it's a Mexican thing, it was really a racial discrimination thing to put that plane on top of that building on the West side. It is all becoming clear now.
ReplyDeleteCome back to reality me Amigo.
ReplyDeleteHabenero's is about as much of a "Mexican thing" as Taco Bell.
I'm just saying putting a plane on a building is not an original idea. People have done it in Kansas City and all over for years.
It's just in this case it looks like Danny supersized it and didn't ask neighbors how they felt about the structure.
It's his business, his land and his commercially zoned property.
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't have to ask ANYONE how to adorn his building.
That plane is awesome. I'm going to volunteer down there. Sounds fun as shit, and free awesome coffee to boot!
ReplyDeleteHe is simply asking for volunteers to work at community events and non-profit fundraisers. Companies do this all the time and most don't pay anything -- not even coffee. It's not a big deal. As usual, trying to make something out of nothing.
ReplyDeleteWTF, Taco Bell isn't Mexican?
ReplyDeleteI think I will go down there and volunteer. May be I can get some free coffee and see for myself. If I don't like what I see, I'll piss on the floor and leave.
Can I just piss on the floor and leave?
ReplyDeleteThat plane is ugly as shit and KC's zoning is crooked.
You can sniff Danny's farts all you want and work for free but I won't take this shit. I'm going to Starbucks bitch!
I don't drink Starbucks. They're anti union. It's not even the anti union thing. It's the attacks and persecution of people who work for the company that try to unionize in a democratic vote.
ReplyDeleteSo piss on starbucks.
I remember someone putting a Tomorrowland rocket ship on a building. Let's see, who could that be?
ReplyDelete
