Vin Baker now working at Starbucks

btw....they (Starbucks) don

Story said Baker was training to manage a Starbucks. So his pay likely is not that high.

But to address the monetary comments earlier, the salaried portion of a store manager is generally nothing crazy, but they're typically bonus-eligible, which is where they really make their money, assuming they do a good job and hit their numbers.

Of COURSE Starbucks sells franchises. And clearly thats what Vin bought.

And why don't you think players shouldn't own a business after they retire?

They actually really dont

Starbuck succeeds at the expense of cannibalising their own revenue, by opening outlets rapidly and concentrated. No franchisee would buy a franchise to make a loss.

his story is still more pitiful than inspirational.

getting back up is nice and all but he threw it all away. he shouldn't had been down. got no one to blame but himself.

I visited the store where he's working, obviously he was hard to miss. He was a good dude...really humble and genuine. Appreciated that we remembered his Bucks days too. Hope he gets that coaching gig he's after.

From a Bucks star to Starbucks

lets not act like he's pouring da coffee or working as a barista

dude's probably clearing over 300k a year easy
