I think he actually purchased a Starbucks if I'm not mistaken.

you gotta be real weak to be addicted to ANYTHING.

Like you and this site/internet.

 

[Amphibious]

Could be worse, he's kicked his addiction and he sounds like a happy man, good for him

This nikka got a Jupiter fade

Baker has the same job as my brother's classmate who dropped out senior year.
There ain't shyt rewarding about working at Starbucks

:wowwow2:


Maybe he will be addicted to frappucinos instead?

For real though, customer service jobs are mad annoying/stressful especially them entitled Starbucks customers ()
Hope he doesn't fall off the wagon

Other than the Magic Johnson partnership, the lone franchise they have is in the Dominican Republic.

You want the CEO to be like "let's see - you have a degree from academic powerhouse University of Hartford, where I'm sure you took the most rigorous courses; you've struggled with alcoholism for 15 years; you've mismanaged millions of dollars... will you join my team of executives?" If you can't manage your life, your money, or your drinking, how can you even manage a coffee shop?

All that said, I hate that dude's dysfunction is on front street. Plenty of people struggle with addiction and financial ruin but get good jobs via connections and it all gets swept under the rug. I hope Vin at least owns a house out in R.I. - if so, his quality of life is aight.

Right? Can you imagine the amount of crackhead shyt these ppl have seen Vin do.

Don't NBA Players Have A Pension?

I just googled that, always wondered.

NBA players have one of the most generous pension plans in all of professional sports. They are vested into their pension plans after playing at least three seasons in the league. The minimum benefit for a player that retires at the age of 62 is $56,988 per year - not a bad retirement for a three-year career.J

 

[Doobie Doo]

How the fukk do you know the CEO and be an all star NBA player. But get a job in a store instead of corporate

That's what I was thinking. Like damn, can the homey get at least 60k annually

 

[choc_cardigan]

The guy seems genuinely happy about being able to wake up everyday and work everyday..

Having a lot of money is not the end all be all..

That's a deep quote

 

[Just Rod]

At least that nikka trying to do somethin positive

 

[OG_StankBrefs]

@ "he sounds happy."

nikka, please.

that owner probably lost money on Vin, and he was an alcoholic, not taking his job seriously at the time

he really didnt owe him a damn thing, why the fukk should he have been 'salaried' and taken care of like that?

and it would make no sense for him to hand him a corporate job, that hes done absolutely nothing to earn (or be qualified for)

he set him up where he can learn the business, grow skills to become a manager, and then build from them

that is much more rewarding (and sensible) than putting him in some 'cushy' role that he has no business having

the last thing Vin seems to need (OR want) is a handout

the article CLEARLY inferred he was being fast tracked for a manager and you just made the whole 'part time' thing up outta thin air, when logic is slapping you in the face saying he has a full time gig (and yes, Starbucks provides great full time benefits)

So why even mention that Schulz set him up with a job that he could've EASILY gotten without Schulz's involvement? It's not like it's rocket science to make a caramel macchiato or double shot of espresso...y'all really believe that he needed to serve cats 1/2 slices of pound cake and serve drinks to learn about how to manage a store? Schulz couldn't have put him in an assistant manager position and had him shadow for a few years? Vin ain't dumb and it wouldn't be a handout to put Vin in a position to take advantage of his skills in a way that doesn't embarass him in the public eye. Got a 6'10 breh seving rice crispy squares and hot chocolate but it's ok because he's being "fast tracked". GTFOH

Man, I just don't see how inidivuals blow thru 100 mil...there's large corporations that don't lose that kinda dough.

That said, I feel bad for him in the sense that he seemed like a good dude. I remember him being on Inside Stuff back in the day, both of his parents were pastors and he was playing the piano on that episode. Seemed like the Bucks had a good upside with him and Big Dog.

Nobody's perfect tho.

 

[The_Sheff]

What the hell is he going to offer corporate if they try to plug him in right away?

You start at the ground up, learn how the stores are run, connect with people, learn managerial skills and he can be running his own store soon enough.

He'll have full benefits, a livable wage, and he can jump into different opportunities down the line using this experience or grow within the company.

Bruh, thats never how it works for people with real connections. Went to school with so many white kids who went straight into a management position after high school and college. Their connections didnt have them working the line with everyone else.
