Willing to bet he knew nothing about the union issues and was just there for the Album PR. His manager said “Be here at this date and time and serve coffee and you’ll get a few more million album sales”
I’m not sure why that would disqualify him for scab behavior. Also anyone basing this much of their branding around pumpkin spice bullshit should at least be a little aware of the situation with the union.
It’s only scab behavior if the point is to supercede the union which this most definitely does not do.
The entire article is just laughably bad.
I’d boycott his music, except I already don’t listen to it.
Put some on just so you can shut that shit off!!
I always find it nice when people call it boycott rather than canceled
So, thank you
You can’t really cancel something.
Nobody who claims to have been cancelled has actually been cancelled.
Because otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to claim so, since nobody would be there to listen.
What the hell is this news outlet? No matter how badly someone messed up, media should always refrain from using words like scabby or loser behavior.
Edit: I should make it clear that I do not object to anyone calling him a scabby person. It’s just that news outlets should never do this.
Jezebel is part of the original Gawker Media (now “Go Media”) network, and is a glorified blog. Hardly a “news outlet”.
It’s also not even scab behavior. Scabs are people who take shifts at places where unions are on strike. This is a store with no union, so he’s not doing union work. It’s maybe anti-union, but it’s not scab-y.
And while I’m generally pro-union, my experience with unions is they are very, very against non-union members doing union work. So if Ed Sheeran wanted to pick up a shift at a Starbucks for a promo, I can see why he might have had to pick a non-union location. I’d be curious to find out if he asked or what his agents discussed. Doesn’t seem likely to me that Sheeran himself said “I want to do manual labor for several hours, make sure it’s at a union-busting location.”
This whole story seems overblown.
A scabby one, it seems
The pop musician who makes vacuous top 40 hits doesn’t have any principles? Color me shocked. I expected the guy who came up with that stupid “I’m in love with your body” song to be a moral paragon and hero of the people.
Looks like a scab too.
And his music sounds like the peeling of one.
Ewwwwww you nasty 😭😭😭
Not surprising, given that if he doesn’t take the corpos side by being scabby, his music wouldn’t play in any mall in the world anymore. Not that it would be a bad thing, his songs are mind-numbing shit anyway
What’s a mall?
It’s like an apartment building but for shops, kept alive by doing CPR on your local Spencers, chain clothing store such as JCPenney, and Sbarro’s. Your milage on the latter statement may vary
Best description I’ve ever read on a mall.
My mall is somehow still kicking and not only does it not have any of those anymore, sears closed down like 5-6 years ago.
A super super market full of super markets
A walmart full of smaller walmarts
An entire wall of walmarts.
Especially the one with him and Camilla Cabello
Reads a bit like an onion article.
This whole article reads like the author just badly needs to get laid lol
Sexist douchebag
I don’t know if the author is male or female so calling me sexist seems a bit weird.
I’m confused. I’m not a Sheeran fan at all, and definitely fuck scabs, but in this case, it seems the employees are all working. In other words, he didn’t cross a picket line to go work a shift. This seems like sensationalist bs.
The other workers were managers.
It’s a union movement half-way across the planet from where he lives. He has never worked a normal job in his life. Why do you expect him to care?
Where do you get the idea that “he has never worked a normal Job in his life” from?
From the fact that he went from busking and performing at small venues as a teenager, to his debut single at 20. Maybe there was room for menial work during that. If you can find evidence of it, i’ll amend my comment.
well yah one glance at him and you know hes a cunt
Dude has a very punchable face
I think he looks like a Muppet. A Muppet I would enjoy punching
