Companies, like Starbucks, Netflix, American Airlines, and too many more to count, make decisions based on bottom line results, not how we feel about them. Starbucks and gang are not our friends.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for sharing this post with the BizSugar community. Certainly companies like Starbucks need to sometimes make business decisions to minimize costs and maximize profits, but customers can spot value and see through smoke screens. Long term these decisions may still have an effect, especially if eventually more palatable alternatives present themselves.

Steve A. Miller: "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch", right? ;) I agree with you that Starbucks shouldn't use gobbledegook traditional marketing phrases. Instead they should have a straight conversation with their loyal customers.
