Starbucks

Do you drink coffee? If you say yes, that means you are more likely to go to Starbucks, which is one of the most important stores that serve coffee in the United State. Because many people in the United State like to drink coffee, our group Henry, Faisal, Ahmed, Juanita, and I decided to find out what most people think and feel about Starbucks and why they choose Starbucks. So we asked forty- two people and we found out that 83% like to drink coffee in the United States. 90% like to go to Starbucks. 47% say that Starbucks serves a good coffee’s quality. generally we found many people who like to drink coffee in Starbucks, and many people have a positive feeling about Starbucks.

Before I did my survey I thought that I would find many people who do not like Starbucks, because of the high prices and other reasons like the environment, but I found that many people like it. Actually, I found one man who really hates Starbucks and when I asked him to do the survey he said I hate Starbucks and I could not get more information from him because he was really angry about Starbucks. In gournal I found many people who like Starbucks, and many people like the coffee’s quality.

Who cares for a green latte at Starbucks?

I read an article, which talks about starbucks. This article discusses the environmentalists’ opinions abut star bucks. It sows what the environmentalists think and feel about the star bucks work. It shows that many environmentalists’ agents their work. They think that star bucks do not tread its worker very well, so they usually have a very low salary. Also, they think sturbucks usually use un organic stuff on their work.

Starbucks are a very famous store in many different countries. Many people especially in United State like its coffee. Actually, I surprised when I read what the environmentalists said about starbuck. I extremely agree with their opinion. Starbucks should tread its worker very well. In addition, starbucks should use an organic stuff on their drinks. so, the environmentalists’ opinions are very important, and I hope starbucks fallow their opinion.

Starbucks

My classmates decided to make a survey. It had ten questions for students in SIU. When I asked some students they smiled and I asked them why? They said, “It is really a good topic to talk about, and we like to talk about this kind of business, because it is a successful business”. I met with someone who works in Starbucks and he was satisfied about service and salary. We found 83% of students drink coffee and 90% of students always go to Starbucks. Also, we got 60% of students who drink one cup a day, 29% of students who drink one to two cups a day, 7% of students who drink three to four cups a day, 2% of students drink who coffee five to six a day, and 2% of students drink more then six cups a day. The result told us many students like to drink coffee from Starbucks, and there are two reasons for that. First of all, it has high quality coffee. Second, it is popular.

In my opinion, Starbucks is a successful idea of business, and now everyone likes to drink coffee, but some of them do not have time to make coffee. Also, Starbucks encourages me and people to buy coffee, because it has a good quality and we can find the store anywhere. However, many people are not satisfied with its price, because I think it is expensive, especially for students. Finally, I made plan for my future to start a business like Starbucks, and I will provide good quality with low price.

StarBucks Survey Summary

We decided StatBucks as our research project, because we are interested in this subject. Why StarBucks can be so popular and successful. Faisal, Abdulmajeed, Ahmed, Juanita and I, we all interested in this subject. We make a survey for our project. Each one of our group member needs to get 8 people for this survey. We want to know how people think about StarBucks. When we finish our survey and count the result. I use the computer software to support me to create graph of our survey result. That can help us to know what happened. We found out people really like it. People think they provide coffee with good taste and quality. Over 90 percent of people have ever been to StarBucks. That means they really did a good job. They really caught their customer’s heart.

This is the first survey I have done in American college. Every Thursday I have a conversation table at Ambassador Hall. So I ask some of my American friends to help me to fill out this survey. I also went to StarBucks that locate at student center. I found couple people who sit in the StarBucks and study to help me fill out the survey. They are very friendly and very happy to help me. This is a really good experience. The result does not surprise me, because just as I think, most people think they provide good coffee and environment to let you relax. But one interesting thing is mort people are confused at the question which is the StarBucks and environment problem. It’s really hard to think coffee and environment. This is a really interesting survey and let me know more things about StarBucks. I am really enjoying it.

Starbucks

In this article, the author talks about the three friends who decide to make a business, but they did not know yet what kind of business they will start. After that, they decided to bring a good quality of coffee, because in the past the U.S. had awful coffee. They went to Europe to buy dark coffee which was very different from American coffee. They have began to open coffee shops in Seattle. Finally, Starbucks became very a popular coffee shop in the world and it now has 5,689 outlets in 28 countries.

In my opinion, life has a lot of chances, but some people do not get them and some people get them like the Starbucks' owners. It was very a good idea to start a business with friends and to share with them information and experience. Also, any businesses now need money to start and they handle this problem by making business with three friends. Now, Starbucks has delicious coffee, and high quality coffee. Finally they have nice service and a popular coffee shop.

Who cares for a green latte at Starbucks?

In this article, the author states that environmentalists are attacking Starbucks because it is a successful capitalist company. The first argument against Starbucks is that it buys “Not Fair Trade Coffee”. It means that it pays a very low price for its coffee that makes plantation workers to live in a poor condition. The second argument environmentalists used, is that Starbucks uses not organic milk for its latte. According to them the processed milk is related with cancer and is unhealthy. The third reason why greens attack Starbucks is that it uses genetically engineered products. However, the author thinks that Starbucks managers commit a mistake accepting the environmentalists’ demands because they are supported by inexact information and lies.

I think that environmentalists are looking for a healthier life and enterprises that accept their requirements show their interest in human wealth. In this Starbucks example, the manager introduced some changes in their products because they were compatible with company’s values. Hence, the improvements they made should be accepted for their clients. However, I don’t agree with environmentalists to pressure an enterprise to sale only not genetically engineered products, because is the customer who should decide what does he want to buy and at what price.

Starbucks Voyage of Success

This article talked about how Starbucks became a success. Three good friends started their new business idea, a coffee shop. But in 1971 it seems not a good idea to open a coffee shop. But they decided to keep selling it and put another new ideas in their coffee. They are not just selling coffee, but also quality. And they treat their staff very well, because staff needs to make good coffee and provide good service to customers. Now Starbucks has 5,689 outlets in 28 countries; that means they make a lot of money, and people really accept it. They still try to make new things in Starbucks and try to make it better. That’s why it can be successful.

I know Starbucks in Taiwan, but I never bought it. They are too expensive, but I saw a lot people buy from them. Since I came to the U.S. and I saw more people go to buy Starbucks, that’s really interesting, because you can buy some cheap coffee powder or coffee tins. But people choose Starbucks; they really make good coffee. You can ask them to put or take out anything you want, like customized coffee. I never bought it, but someone bought it for me. It’s really good. So I want to learn how they did it. Coffee idea can turn into a big business; these guys are very smart.
