Beyond reason?

Starbucks' CEO Howard Schultz has his knickers in a twist over a court ruling that would see the company forced to pay up to $100 million to staff in California after a court ruling that the company illegally including supervisors in tip pooling schemes. He says that the company will not end the practice, will not pay back the tips and that the ruling is "contrary to the law, but also fundamentally unfair and beyond all common sense and reason". So take that and stick in your tip jar!
