A whole crew of Starbucks employees in Buffalo, New York, walked out after a manager fired someone.
Sam Amato, the employee in question, was fired from the store last week after working for Starbucks for over 13 years.
The location, whose employees voted to unionize in March, has been closed since Friday’s walkout as workers strike to demand his reinstatement.
Recently, Starbucks Workers United, an organisation set to help Starbucks workers across the US, took to TikTok to share footage of the moment.
Within the clip that has been viewed more than 20 million times, you see what appears to be customers who appear to be waiting for their drinks.
Then, in a split second, you see two employees walking past the customers with rectangular-shaped pieces of cardboard as the customers look on.
The video then jumps to a scene showing more Starbucks employees with aprons and cardboard in hand and the customers exiting the store.
“When your entire store walks out after management unjustly fires your co-worker for being a union leader,” the video’s caption read.
