Addicted to Starbucks... Oh, no
2009-11-12 00:38:00 Dear Mel, I absolutely LOVE Starbucks. I'm not a huge coffee fan, but I can't stand driving past one of their coffee shops without getting a mocha, or a hot chocolate, or tea, or SOMETHING. But lately I've started to think I've been going there way too much! It's eating up the contents of my wallet, and I don't even think it's really good for me. I'm lactose intolerant, and to get soymilk in my drinks they charge you an extra 50 cents. Plus, don't those drinks have a lot of calories? Bottom line: Am I going to Starbucks too much? If I am, what should I do to change my habits?-Hot Drinks...

Starbucks-double-charged-a-million-customers-reimbursement
2009-06-10 02:34:00 SEATTLE - Starbucks - accidentally charged one million customers twice for their purchases over a recent two-day span. The company said it recognized the glitch and has worked to reimburse all impacted customers.Starbucks spokeswoman Trina Smith said all U.S. and Canadian customers who used a debit or credit card on Friday, May 22, and part of Saturday, May 23, were accidentally charged double for their purchases. The settlement processing error affected about 1 million transactions, Smith said.The company said it began working to settle the problem as soon as the banks opened on Tuesday, May 26, after the Memorial Day weekend. She said customers should have seen a credit applied to their accounts by May 29.A big! big! glitch. Starbucks coffee is roughly around $4 bucks. Say that you paid 4 bucks + million transactions. Assume about a 3-4 million dollar glitch - wow. I guess its back to using cash like the old days. Majority of us use debt or credit now days. 'The New Future'I bet...

Starbucks für zuhause
2008-12-09 00:55:00 Inzwischen ist Starbucks Kaffee auch in der Provinz angekommen. Nach einem Bummel über den Weihnachtsmarkt haben wir uns dort bei Christmas Blend, Dark Cherry Chocolate Latte und Raspberry Cheese Cake wieder aufgewärmt. Dort gab es auch ein sehr appetitlich aussehenden Kuchen mit Namen "Lebkuchen Loaf Cake". Just for fun habe ich danach gegoogelt und wurde hier fündig. Da alle Zutaten im Hause waren habe ich gleich losgelegt. Nun gibt es Starbucks auch in unserem Zuhause: Der Kuchen ist wirklich sehr saftig und lecker, daher habe ich auf eine Glasur verzichtet. Das Rezept angegebene Walnussöl kann durch ein beliebiges, geschmacklich zu Lebkuchengewürz passendes Pflanzenöl ersetzt werden. ==========REZKONV-Rezept - RezkonvSuite v1.4Titel: Lebkuchen Loaf CakeKategorien: Backen, RührteigMenge: 1 Kastenform von 21 x 11,5 x 7 1/2 cm Zutaten 250Gramm Mehl Type 405100Gramm Zucker240ml Milch,- Ulrike: 200 ml3 Eier, Größe M120ml Walnussöl120Gramm Orange-nmarmelade2Teel.

What do you think of the new Starbucks promotion
2008-08-20 20:29:00 Here in my sunny southern California stores they don't sell the afternoon drink for $2. They give it to you for free after 2PM with a morning receipt. Observed net impact; a shift of consumer behavior; an influx of pairs-traffic at 1:55 followed by freebies delivered at 2:05 according to local Starbucks baristas. Not sure that helps. But it sure is hard to hold off that morning purchase until early afternoon.

Starbucks (SBUX): Turnaround time?
2008-08-11 07:00:00 "I’ve spotted an excellent opportunity to cash in on the turnaround of one of America’s most visible companies -- Starbucks (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=sbux) (NASDAQ: SBUX (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=sbux))," says Jim Stanton (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2257).The- quantitative analyst and contributing editor to Xcelerated Profits Report (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2257) explains, "I’ve had my eye on a number of retail stocks for some time now, looking for signs of a potential turnaround, and Starbucks is now high on my lis.""One of the main reasons for the slide in SBUX shares from its high of $40 in November 2006 was the overly aggressive expansion plan. "And as food and dairy prices have soared, this has led to higher operating costs. In turn, this forced Starbucks to raise prices, just as consumers were struggling from the housing slump and soaring inflation."And as competitio...
August's Write-Away Contest
2008-08-01 10:00:00 Back by popular demand, this month's Write-Away Contest will be a peach because once again Andrew came up a great topic. That man ought to start charging for his talents I tell you--that's three times now he's come up with good themes for my contests. I'm so glad I married him.So what is this most wondrous of writing topics? "First Kiss." Beauty, eh?Now I'm going to have to give special emphasis to rule #1 where it says I wield ultimate veto power and if a submission has "objectionable" content (i.e. content that I would object to) I will have to reject it. Though I will do it very nicely and kindly and with a great deal of wringing of hands and profuse sweating because I really hate to reject anything but to give you an idea of where I'm coming from my goal is to keep things clean enough around here that if my children or their friends stumble through, curious about what I might have written about them that week, they won't find stuff that would make them question the s...

SAVING STARBUCKS
2008-07-31 01:15:00 With every cut more water is pouring into the hold of the Titanic. Why would you want to fire all those people and let all that experience go to a competitor - just because you couldn't find a better answer?Everything the past, present and future team at Starbucks knows about its business is based on established consumer habits and practices and no matter how hard you study the past it will never tell you all you need to know for the present. The demand to create new consumer knowledge, that which has never existed to be gathered and measured is essential for Starbucks to immediately generate significant incremental unit and dollar volume sales. And I'd like to demonstrate how that worked at P&G on Folgers and Pampers, just to prove it works everytime to those who think it's impossible to generate incremental AM usage occassions. It is the most immediate way to impact a brand and business. No layoffs, no store closures. Nobody quits when you're making money. So what's to lo...

STARBUCKS...HOW SAD
2008-07-29 20:11:00 Did I die at Starbucks and wake up in Aunt Gloria Jeans Tea Room? Selling frozen novelty yogurt drinks called Sorbetto at Starbucks is a clear signal the coffee purveyor's brand equity compass is way off track. This isn't even making Howrd Schultz look good if he's trying to stabilize the company for a sale. Selling non coffee drinks at Starbucks, especially frozen yogurt novelties is like Campbells Soup Company selling Chunky Soup as a stew in a can instead of "the soup you eat with a fork." That's how you biuld the equity of a soup company as a soup company. Starbucks. Desperate. The company hasn't even taken coffee 20% of where it can go, and they're already turning in non-coffee directions. And, not to be critical, but those Pepto-Bismol colored splats placed on Starbuck's store floors look like some sick kid yakked. Then people walk on it and it's even more revolting and unappetizing. Looks like some stores in-need-of-repair restrooms. Rating: Thumbs down. Coffee loyali...

Will Seminole Heights Starbucks Close?
2008-07-02 03:00:00 Will the Seminole Heights Starbucks close? News is out that Starbucks will close 600 stores nationwide."Seventy percent of the stores to be shut are less than three years old, the company said." . . . . "Most of the 600 stores to be closed were opened in late 2005 and 2006". . . . "During that time, more than 50 percent of the new stores had drive-through service". . . ."Florida and California are among the largest states affected" . . . ."estimated the stores were taking 25 percent to 30 percent of sales from nearby locations".The Seminole Heights store fits the profile. However I wonder if its proximity to I-275 (drivers gonmg to work and easy visibility) and heavy neighborhood use will keep it open? Will there need to be a letter writing/email campaign to save the Starbucks?

2008-06-02 20:57:00 Here’s a little something to take the sting out of the new higher prices for those that can’t live without a daily Starbucks fix, free WiFi is on again. For those of you with AT&T DSL accounts, many already qualify for AT&T WiFi as part of your subscription, but you’ll likely need to activate it at the AT&T web site. For the six of you not freeloading on unsecured open hotspots already, Starbucks will be launching free Wi-Fi courtesy of AT&T starting tomorrow, according to Dave Zatz (formerly of Sling Media). According to a store memo, Starbucks users who use their Starbucks card at least once a month will get two free hours of AT&T Wi-Fi per day. (Broadband Reports)
