Starbucks makes big change that should improve your experience
If one wants a harmonious business, the happiness of those helping run it should be prioritized. Starbucks has devised a solution to accomplish just that. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter The coffee chain's new strategy follows its struggles with continuous sales declines and slower store traffic over the last few quarters. To return business to growth, Starbucks developed the "Back to Starbucks" turnaround plan, which included optimizing operations, prioritizing coffee quality, and simplifying its menu. Related: Starbucks faces huge new rival In the last several months, Starbucks (SBUX) reintroduced condiment bars and ceramic mugs for in-house sipping, brought back handwritten notes on to-go cups and bags to foster better customer connections, and returned the free in-café refills to make its coffee shops feel more like homes. To increase efficiency, the coffee giant also refreshed its menu with a simpler version, discontinuing 13 items and eliminating extra charges for milk alternatives. Starbucks has even gone beyond tweaking the store experience and menu. The chain will close underperforming shops to invest in building new locations and revamping old ones, encouraging customers to stay longer. And just last month, Starbucks implemented a new dress code for its baristas across all North American stores to enhance its iconic green apron, marking its first update in nearly a decade. Now, the coffee giant is making another change regarding its baristas, and this one requires a significant investment. Image Source:Starbucks is expanding its workforce by adding at least one full-time assistant store manager to most company-operated stores nationwide beginning this fall. This move aims to streamline the operation of its stores and improve the overall customer experience by providing staff with the support and help they need, ensuring a consistent leadership presence during operating hours. Related: Starbucks makes major change in rewards program loyal fans will hate Although anyone may apply for the full-time assistant store manager role, Starbucks wants to encourage its employees to put their best foot forward by supporting career growth and hiring 90% of the new leadership roles internally. Currently, approximately 20% of Starbucks stores have an assistant store manager, with most being short-term.

This initial step will help the company test the initiative and eventually have a full-time assistant store manager in most of its company-operated coffee shops by 2026. Canada will be the next region to follow this process, beginning in summer 2026. Although increasing its workforce is a huge investment, Starbucks says the move will bring the company closer to accomplishing its turnaround strategy goals.

Starbucks CEO pushes 'Green Apron' service changes to all North American stores by summer
Starbucks CEO pushes 'Green Apron' service changes to all North American stores by summer Show Caption Hide Caption See the winner of Starbucks' first-ever barista championship Starbucks hosted the inaugural Global Barista Championship in Las Vegas featuring baristas from around the world. Starbucks SBUX.O CEO Brian Niccol told Reuters on Tuesday that he would accelerate the rollout of the coffeehouse chain's new staffing and service model, aiming for all North American stores by summer's end, rather than the initial plan for just a third of U.S. stores by fiscal year-end. The plan applies to the more than 11,000 company-owned stores in North America, rather than the roughly 18,000 combined company-owned and licensed stores, Starbucks said. Niccol says the model is a foundational element of his turnaround strategy for the company, as he bets on an improved in-store customer experience to reclaim the sales growth that has eluded Starbucks in recent quarters. Niccol said early tests of the model have sped up service times and grown sales, without providing specifics. 'We've learned, and now we know what we need to do, so let's scale it,' he told Reuters at the company's three-day leadership summit in Las Vegas on Tuesday. The Green Apron model includes in-store technology to more efficiently sequence orders, as well as a dedicated barista for drive-through orders. Starbucks rolled out the service changes to 700 stores initially. During the company's April 29 quarterly earnings call, Niccol said it would be introduced in a third of U.S. stores by fiscal year-end. Niccol took over as Starbucks CEO in September with a plan to return the chain to its coffeehouse roots, focusing on the in-store experience and away from a reliance on mobile and to-go orders, in what the company calls "Back to Starbucks.' The goal is to get baristas to get customers their orders in four minutes or less. He did not share any financial figures about the cost of the Green Apron model's deployment, but said the company would host an investor day in 2026. The Las Vegas summit, the company's first since 2019, is hosting more than 14,000 managers and other company leaders. Analysts and investors have wondered how long Niccol will need to turn the company around. Shares have gained 11% over the last five years, compared with an 88% rise in the broad-market S&P 500. TD Cowen recently downgraded its rating of Starbucks to "hold" from "buy", saying in part that it believed Niccol's turnaround would take longer than expected to deliver results. Niccol said the transition will take time. Starbucks has not issued annual guidance, and Niccol told investors in an earnings call earlier this year that earnings-per-share 'shouldn't be used as a measure of our success' at this stage, instead pointing to in-store metrics like average wait times for orders. He said the transition's effect on earnings would be temporary. On Tuesday, he emphasized his goal isn't to achieve short-term performance solely through cost reduction. As Starbucks increases investments in its labor and elsewhere, Niccol said he would be "ruthless" in cutting expenses not related to the company's turnaround. 'We have to be critical of where we're spending if it's not driving toward the Back to Starbucks strategy and growth programs.' Reporting by Waylon Cunningham; Editing by Lisa Shumaker

Woman's Starbucks Bill Surprise Has Over A Million People Watching In Disbelief
Everything from essentials to food is expensive right now. It has gotten so bad that people are calling it a crisis, and many have stopped buying everyday items altogether. People aren't getting haircuts, they've stopped going out to eat, buying living this too, you get it. So, it's no surprise over a million people have related to this viral video of popular TikToker Avery Katherine Wood when the price of her recent Starbucks order left her speechless. In the video, Avery records herself in the drive-thru. She orders a grilled cheese and a venti Strawberry Acai Refresher blended with lemonade. She also adds popping boba. And when the drive-thru worker tells her the total is $15.43, she is so speechless, she reacts with a mixture of facial expressions: And finally musters up all she can think: "OH MY GOSH..." "FIFTEEN DOLLARS??????" she says, repeating the amount back to herself. Trying to make sense of it, she adds, "Popping boba had to be like, added $2.50." Still in shock, she repeats, "WHAT? OH MY GOSH!!!" She then recalls the cost of her recent order from Chicken Salad Chick where she said she spent $13 on a drink, a cookie, broccoli salad, and "a big ass sandwich." "And I just dropped $15 on a grilled cheese and a Starbucks THE FUDGE," she concludes in her video, which has a lot of people talking about more than just her hilarious facial reactions. People immediately started trying to break down the price for her... Which still seemed to leave her in disbelief. But, sadly, many have already gotten accustomed to these high prices, so the shock factor is no longer there. In fact, things are so expensive in some places, the price of her order is actually considered reasonable in comparison. Either way, the prices are obviously tough to fork over. Despite people still trying to find alternative ways to save money at Starbucks, like using the mobile app, they say they always have to double-check the price ahead of time. To sum it up, it's just another example of how people are struggling to afford the same things in 2025 that they did in 2022. As someone who doesn't frequent Starbucks (shoutout to my 7-year-old Keurig that is still going strong!), I wondered what the price would be near where I live in Burbank, California. So, I downloaded the app and pretended to order as a pickup since I know delivery charges fees. I wasn't able to order the exact Strawberry Acai Refresher because they didn't have the popping boba, but I did select blended with raspberry pearls. The grilled cheese was sold out. The total for just the drink came to $7.50 before tax/tip, so I am assuming if I were to add a grilled cheese, it would easily be $15, likely higher. What state do you live in, and what was the recent price of something that shocked you so much it stopped you in your tracks?
