Issue is that two things are happening in the US. One: People found their items got more expensive as their business model saw more competitors and PR dips and the second one that I am noticing: Americans wanting to just be alone. Even here, you have people claiming Starbucks were too packed and loud. So in other words it can’t really go back to its original model because a percentage of the customer demographic that would have bought there now has socialized as antisocial. So it is what it is.

The thing that felt like the biggest backhand was while they were raising prices a couple of years ago, they were also quietly gutting their rewards programs to the point that they basically made it impossible for you to earn free items. They halved the value of their rewards points and set it to where they expire faster than you can earn them, so it took the incentive away to be a regular customer.

Points generally "expire" a year after they are issued because it's a form of promotional credit and not based on "real" money. It's a redeem it or lose it system. HOWEVER, I think Starbucks became an especially greedy outlier and their points expire maybe 90 days after being issued? So they only reward the hyper-loyal customers like daily and semi-daily drinkers. .@@meghan9436

They didn’t say it on purpose, as well as this video narrator. If you notice in this comments section, majority of the comments context is related to price and taste (as if that matters to people who consume regularly at Starbucks). Nothing related to the successful boycotts carried out by Muslims and non-Muslims around the world which contributed largely to the downfall of Starbucks. But no worries, many people here are blind and choose to be ignorant. Truth is better than the falsehood and superficiality that they are expressing. Boycotts worked in the case of bringing down Starbucks.

The boycotts ARE working but finance news would prefer to explain it as cost related because companies are able to control that without making a political statement. And anyone with eyes can see the difference. There's a Starbucks in a mall near me and another coffee shop right next door. There's maybe two people sitting in a Starbucks and the coffee shop next door has a line of people willing to wait.

This is exactly the problem. You’ve identified the problem perfectly: the company focus away from coffee to these non-coffee sugary syrup based “drinks” is the first problem. Secondly, the price increases are outrageous. Third, the rewards program has been watered down so much that it’s not even worth it for loyal customers anymore; they basically ruined what was a great program and made it garbage. The physical locations are inhospitable places where you only have the option of sitting on hard wooden chairs in industrial spaces that echo the chatter of people and employees so loudly that you cannot have a convo over coffee with another person. The CEO is awful and needs to be axed.

Starbucks is suffering because they refuse to acknowledge the most obvious problems. The boycott is not a small minority, once the boycott took off people realized that it’s easy to cut out sugary over priced drinks. Local coffee shops have been thriving while Starbucks is suffering. Starbucks has a PR and pricing problem.

I'm sorry to inform you that contrary to what people believe, Starbucks baristas are just not getting taken care of properly and with any business, that is going to have a negative impact on the business atmosphere and subsequently, the business as a whole. People assume we all get paid above average and are well-taken care of because that is what Howard Schultz wanted for the Company. The long ques are because we are understaffed BECAUSE WE ARE UNDERPAID for the amount of work we actually have to do. We do not just stand around and wait for you to walk in we have tasks that NEED TO BE DONE AT VERY SPECIFIC TIMES. The drinks are overpriced because you are purchasing the very expensive variations of sugar we have. Find an option with less ingredients and that requires no customization and you'll find the cheaper price. The lines are also long because people are ordering MULTIPLE customized drinks with very specific instructions and we are FORCED to remake any drink they aren't please with. Would you be pleased with this working environment on less-than livable wages? Stop blaming the workers and start solving the larger issues at hand higher above. And mobile orders are not the answer but the higherups want the share-holders to believe that this "line-less" option is the answer but you still have a que and they are FAR more orders with mobile and less baristas want to deal with the amount of pressure from managers and customers. Combined YOU have made Starbucks into the very uninviting over-priced failure it has become.

I noticed the remodeling of some Starbucks are setup to get you out of the store and no where to sit. It's a coffee shop where at those high prices, I should be able to sit and enjoy. Not everyone is in a hurry and were willing to pay a little more for the atmosphere, get a little work done or converse with a friend. It's labeled as fast food, but never appeared to be until recently and now the prices have become a issue.

Starbucks flourished during the prosperous computer/internet business boom in conjunction with the real estate boom. The economy was strong and people had money. Starbucks was the place to showcase that and if you wanted to show people you were well off, you drank from a Starbucks cup and not QT Truck Express. The economy is tanked and all narcissistic brands are hurting. It's basic math.

Expensive, have to tip, political stances, too many stores full of homeless and other unpleasant people. For many years, I have avoided situations/places where I need to tip as much as I can (but tip well when I can't as I know it's expected), but ofc, we all know tipping is higher than ever. I refuse to 25 or 30%, but because everything is so much more expensive already, 20% of bill including tax is very high, and that is what I (still) do (20%). But you really can't discount not being able to hang out in a lot of stores. They are scary and dirty with questionable people in them. I almost never go, for over a decade at least now.
