Who Wants A Dream That's Near-fetched?

Don't Buy Preground Coffee.

My Son Is Trying To Be A Sports Writer, And My Daughter Is A College Student. She Wants To Be A Comedy Writer, And She's At Film School. I Discouraged Both Of Them Early On From Getting Involved In Starbucks. I Didn't Think It Would Be Fair; Plus, They Didn't Have Any Interest Anyway.

Our Mission Statement About Treating People With Respect And Dignity Is Not Just Words But A Creed We Live By Every Day. You Can't Expect Your Employees To Exceed The Expectations Of Your Customers If You Don't Exceed The Employees' Expectations Of Management.

I Think Starbucks Created A Platform And, Ultimately, A Runway For Many Other Companies To Emulate. I Suspect If We Had Not Achieved What We Have, There Would Have Been Many Regional Brands That Would Have Succeeded. But I'm Not Sure There Would Have Been A National Brand Of The Scope Of Starbucks.

We Think Of Starbucks Not As A Coffee Company But A Media Company.
