I have a funny story about Starbucks. My friend's dad was visiting from Sicily. My friend asked me to take him out while he was at work one day, to shoot some pool, as his dad loves the game. Anyhow, long story short, he asked me to take him for a coffee afterwards. Guess where we went? That's right, Starbucks, and I hate to say it, but he said it was the worst espresso he had ever had. My biggest beef with Starbucks, personally, is their outrageous prices. Great story, btw! Thumbs up!

I drink Starbucks a lot. For chain coffee, the main appeal is that it’s consistent between stores which other chains fail at doing. However, compared to fresh coffee it is definitely much worse.

This was a really good video. It's too bad to Starbucks went from providing good wages and benefits to employees even if they were part-time to union busting now. Also let's be honest that most of their " coffee drinks" are really just dessert in a cup.

[@dogmeat7486]

The bit that irks me about companies that do this, is that it’s done to provide huge payouts to shareholders and execs. They could simply pay the execs less and the general staff more.

[@summero-my5in]

@@CityStarrzzthey look down on us regular employees.

[@V3ntilator]

@@summero-my5inMany people look down on transport employees too. Without them people couldn't order things and get them shipped home. Grocery stores would be empty without transport as they never got anything to sell. Shopping malls and stores would need to close if there weren't any transport business. Point is that transport is one of the most important jobs in the world. It's so wrong to look at transport employees as losers. Without transport, Starbucks would never have any coffee to sell either.

[@theartofbiz]

An important point not covered in this video but noteworthy is how Starbucks's rapid growth in China in the past has helped them with their "world domination". They've opened their 6000+ stores in China already, which represent over 16% of all of their stores globally. However, their growth in China has slowed significantly due to a cocktail of factors including facing stiff competition from players such as Luckin Coffee. There's a video I made explaining Starbucks' downfall and Luckin's rise in China due to differences in business strategy, China's zero covid policy and contrasting approaches to product innovation and marketing, might be helpful to your viewers.

I'm happy to report that in my home city of Melbourne, Starbucks failed badly. They did badly in Australia anyway, but did especially bad in Melbourne (which has a large Italian population). These days, you're only likely to find a Starbucks in areas that cater primarily to tourists.

Every tiny independently owned coffee shack in American & Canada I've pulled up to in the past 20 years has had better coffee than Starbucks. & I'm reminded this every time I cave in & get a Starbucks at a grocery store in any town or state. They're losing business in the suburbs to a newer chain called Dutch Brothers.

[@ducksdog9996]

Magnates is criminally underrated

[@IanHobday]

I can tell you why I still go to Starbucks and it's because here in Japan they came into the market as a non-smoking chain when everywhere else was either entirely smoking or had a "non-smoking section" that had zero separation from the smoking area. Starbucks broke that model and as it became more popular, other chains had to follow suit. They were the one that created that trend here and I'll always be grateful to them for it.

[@triadwarfare]

Would you cover Australia's war on Starbucks? Au has been the most unsuccessful expansion of Starbucks, at least that's what I heard from the aussies. They prefer their mom and pop cafes more than Starbucks.

[@calmc9655]

As an Aussie, who lives in Melbourne, the only Starbucks location I know is at our ‘Melbourne Central’ which is also a train station, of which I think is meant for tourists coming to Australia mainly, (specifically targeted at tourists)

[@DexMaar]

I worked for Dutch Bros for quite some time. And I got to see them go public, and I feel like this video is a warning to them. They're forgetting their roots and that Dutch Bro is an experience not just a cup of coffee. It was never meant for skeleton crews and not having the opportunity to hang out with the customer. The number of customers we used to have come by just to hang out, and by the time I left we barely knew anyone because we barely had time to say hello here's your order

[@ElyWaves.]

Imo another huge key to their success (just like their rewards app program) is their ability to retain customers. They’ve done a spectacular job at this. And sure you can say it’s the experience, but in reality I think it’s the convenience, the quality, and how they incentivize you to come back. Daily coffee drinkers if they buy a Starbucks mug can go in and get cheaper refills. Perfect for work everyday, then you’re also marketing them everywhere. You get good rewards, you keep coming back. Then you go to the store and can buy the same coffee to brew at home. They’ve done insanely well with customer retention

[@dotsonms]

It's embarrassing that we sheep to Starbucks. It's not that good and you can make much better very quickly at home. It was never about the coffee but the manipulation of low self esteem.

Being an Australian I hardly ever buy from Starbucks as there are better choices but when I'm overseas and I want coffee then Starbucks is probably a safe choice. The good thing about Starbucks in Australia is they open after dinner time and you can sit as long as you want, just the perfect place if you want to chat with your friend longer and you don't want to go to a pub or bar.

[@alexgomez6723]

Yeah, if you want coffee that tastes like farted ass cheeks, than Starbucks is probably the safest bet. Hell, I think McDonalds actually has better coffee than Starbucks 😂.

@alexgomez6723 I don't know what farted ass cheeks taste like but I never had a Starbucks Coffee where it tastes so bad, maybe I'm lucky or you're just unlucky. McDonald's coffee can be a hit or miss, I've had some really good ones where it's comparable to those fancy Cafe and had some terrible ones where it's worst than instant coffee.
