Mr. Sheeran made an appearance at the coffee shop Friday, captured on video. Sporting the typical green apron of a Starbucks barista, he made drinks and talked to customers. The video, intended as a promotion for his “Autumn Variations” LP, drew the rebuke of some Starbucks workers and their union.
According to Starbucks Workers United, the store that Mr. Sheeran visited has faced numerous claims of treating the union unfairly. “Ed Sheeran working a shift at a Starbucks store in Seattle that faced massive union busting is straight up embarrassing,” the union posted on X.
