Starbucks Dress Code Protest + Brad Pitt Inspires Free Burgers in New Zealand

Starbucks Dress Code Protest + Brad Pitt Inspires Free Burgers in New Zealand

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Over 1,000 Starbucks baristas strike over new dress code restrictions

  • Union calls for collective bargaining on dress policy changes

  • Starbucks defends the updated uniform rules as branding

  • McDonald’s in New Zealand gives free burgers to anyone named Brad

  • Promo inspired by Brad Pitt’s Easter visit to a local drive-thru

Starbucks Workers Strike Over New Dress Code

More than 1,000 Starbucks baristas across 75 stores in the U.S. have walked off the job to protest a newly implemented dress code. Effective Monday, Starbucks now requires solid black shirts and khaki, black, or blue denim bottoms—narrowing a previously broader and more flexible dress policy. The company says this change enhances brand consistency and makes its signature green apron stand out. However, Starbucks Workers United argues the change should be negotiated through collective bargaining and accuses the company of ignoring baristas’ voices. Some employees, like shift supervisor Paige Summers, call the policy restrictive and out of touch with actual store needs. A particularly sore point: the company is reportedly still selling now-prohibited branded clothing to employees on its internal site.

Brad Pitt Gets a Burger, Now All Kiwi Brads Can Too

In a surprising blend of celebrity and fast food, McDonald’s New Zealand is offering free Quarter Pounders to anyone named Brad. The promo was sparked by none other than Brad Pitt, who was spotted at a McDonald's drive-thru in Auckland on Easter Sunday. A fan captured the moment, and the viral clip led McDonald’s to launch the limited-time offer. All Brads needed to have the McDonald’s app by May 12, and the deal expires this Sunday—so if you’re a Brad in New Zealand, it’s burger time.

Sabrina Carpenter Drops “God-Approved” Alternate Album Cover

Sabrina Carpenter Drops “God-Approved” Alternate Album Cover

Sabrina Carpenter is back in the headlines with a bold move. After facing online backlash for the original cover of her upcoming album Man's Best Friend—which featured her on all fours with someone pulling her hair—Carpenter has released an alternate “God-approved” version. The new image, featuring her clutching a man's arm and staring confidently into the camera, has sparked a new round of discussion about artistic expression, sexism, and public perception. Is it a PR pivot, satire, or another layer to her album's message? The Jubal Show team dives into the controversy, comparing it to Nicole Kidman’s provocative role in the 2024 film Babygirl and the broader conversation around women owning their sexuality in pop culture. Plus, dad perspectives on how this content plays at home with younger listeners. 🔗 Sources: Sabrina Carpenter's Alternate Album Cover Release – Rolling Stone Original Cover Sparks Backlash – Billboard Nicole Kidman in Babygirl – Variety Nina's What's Trending is your daily dose of the hottest headlines, viral moments, and must-know stories from The Jubal Show!

The photos from the event had to be blurred for obvious reasons, but his determination (and confidence) are what’s going viral.📎 Track & Field News Coverage📎 Ostrava Meet Results - World Athletics TikTok's Latest Food Trend?
