But did you know Starbucks also owns Teavana. Today I’m going to talk to you about one of the world’s most well-known coffee shops in the world; Starbucks.
Firstly I’m going to talk about its history. When first started it was called Pequod’s coffee because Pequod was the name the owner’s first ship. But they soon settled on Starbucks. Starbucks was founded March 30, 1971 by three best friends who met at the University of San Francisco; one was a History teacher Zev Siegel, the other was a writer Gordon Bowker.

Starbucks has many unhealthy options but if you were to get the healthiest beverage there it would probably be water. Yep you heard me right plain old, bottled water. Every other drink is horrible for your health. But the second healthiest beverage there would be the tazo tea with 0 calories, 0g total fats, 0g total carbohydrates, 0g sugar (I know that’s a little surprising), and 0g or everything . But is zero of everything good, I don’t think so, because you need those macronutrients to give energy to your body energy and you’re supposed to have big quantities of macronutrients. The macronutrients include: carbohydrates sugar/glucoses, and protein. So that’s why the tazo tea is not the best option because it doesn’t help you. Now for the unhealthy options; let’s take for example the famous vanilla bean Frappuccino with no wiped cream. It has 200 calories, 3.5g of total fat, 39g of total carbohydrates, 36g of sugar, ad 3g of protein. Yet if you want to add sweetened wiped cream that would be another 50 calories, 5g of total fat, 1g of total carbohydrates, 0.3g of protein, and 1g of sugar. Now here’s a short list of unhealthy drinks at Starbucks: so in third is the tazo green tea Frappuccino blended; it’s so creamy and milky and that’s a whole 290 calories for a tall. Second is the white chocolate mocha, highly fattening and 310 calories for again a tall. The first on my list is my personal favourite, the double

Every day, we go to work planning to do two things: offer awesome espresso with our companions and improve the world a bit. It was genuine when the primary Starbucks opened in 1971, and it 's pretty much as genuine today. In those days, the organization was a solitary store in Seattle 's Pike Place Market. From only a slender customer facing facade, Starbucks offered a portion of the world 's finest new broiled entire bean espressos. The name, roused by Moby Dick, evoked the sentiment of the high oceans and the nautical custom of the early espresso dealers. In 1981, Howard Schultz (Starbucks executive and CEO) had at first walked around a Starbucks store and he was drawn into Starbucks and joined a year later ("Company Information", 2016).

Generally, Starbucks is viewed in an in a positive light, however they have made a few decisions that were unethical behind the eyes of public. One of the faulty decisions that Starbucks made was when they implemented a policy of “keeping a tap running non-stop.” (Balakrishnan) Because of this policy, they wasted over 6 million gallons of water every day. This amount of water could have helped millions of people in third world countries as having access to clean drinking water is a major concern. Additionally, many countries were facing drought, and Starbucks was just wasting the water down the drain. When questioned about this practice, Starbucks response was that they leave the water on for hygienic reason, however this was illogical because the tap water that was left on was primarily used for washing utensils, so they would have to use dish soap anyways. On the other hand, if it was used for only a quick wash of the utensils, they could have implemented a motion sensor tap so it turns on only when the employees needed it. This decision was extremely neglectful, however after public outcry, they implemented steps to decrease water usage. Since this practice was exposed in 2008, they have reduced their consumption by 17.6 percent in 2011. The reduction is due to implementation of “hand-metered water system” and “low-use water faucet[s].” (Starbucks)

With Starbucks increasing the accessibility of their product for in home, offices, airports, grocery stores, and alongside other locations and through other entities has caused customers to lose interest in actual storefronts and cafes. Therefore, more customers are able to gain quality brand Starbucks coffee through various avenues now such as supermarkets and outside of the actual physical Starbucks location without having to leave the comforts of their homes (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014). Furthermore, the increased number of drive-through windows at some locations caused customers to lose interest as in many cases this took away from people coming into the actual facilities to sit and enjoy their fresh coffee.In addition, the utilization of the drive-through windows were only offered at some locations and not all. Moreover, some stores had greater offerings than other actual Starbucks locations and therefore some consumers lost interest because they essentially had to travel farther to the locations to gain in-store food and certain products that were not offered at their frequently visited location.
