Starbucks? They have AMAZING healthcare benefits for part-time workers.

My wife worked there when I was in between jobs and even after I got back on my feet she stayed there part-time for the benefits.

I have yet to find a company that beats them. I even met a teacher, doctor and nurse who were working PT at SBux for the healthcare benefits.

We were actually discussing her going back a few nights ago.

These companies think they are needed. There are other companies out there willing to take care of their employees.
