Translation from his hippie talk-—

We are going to have to abandon many of our “urban” stores that we still have to pay leases on. We will have to close a few hundred other unprofitable stores

Dunking Doughnuts has stolen much of our coffee business. Though we still dominate in Pumpkin lattes.

He could charge $15 for a coffee and the drive-up line would still be long. I don’t get it.

…” core purpose and reason for being.”

Money is both your “core purpose and reason for being”. He’s trying to make it sound like he’s given the world life itself. He’s been “giving back” and “paying it forward” and all those other meaningless lib phrases

My little act of rebellion is letting some Starbucks gift cards go unused for decades, forcing Starbucks to account for them over the years and lose money.

The mostest dangerous place in my small town is the Verizon parking lot. It sits next to a Starbucks. Those caffeine-crazed females who are in dire need of a fix race each other to be next in line. Pedestrians have no right-of-way. They’re just in-the-way.

Are we witnessing another case of “Go Woke, Go Broke”? Maybe they should hire Dylan What’s-Its_Name to do an ad to finish off what’s left of the company.

Howard Schultz said Starbucks is at an "inflection point" and has an opportunity for a "reset."

Translation: Starbucks is circling the drain.

It is because they do not pay their employees enough. It is so obvious.

These left-wing corporations don’t understand the power of the right. You don’t dis the right wing and then expect your profits to stay the same. It’s just math.

Mark Simone a New York radio conservative said it best, “Starbuck’s coffee tastes like somebody out a cigarette out in it.”
I wouldn’t drink swill for free.

What a lot of corporate-style jargon. You could fill up a BS Bingo card pretty quickly listening to this guy.

Most of the hotels I stay at (100 or more per year) now have automatic espresso machines in the lobby with all the free lattes, cappuccino, mochas or whatever you want.
