I wasn’t sure the best community on slrpnk to post this; but this one seemed pretty applicable.

    Interesting how Starbucks is quick to blame the stores rather than its own processes.

    According to Statista [1] there were 38,038 Starbucks stores worldwide in 2023.

    I’d suggest that a seven stone sample isn’t statistically significant but anyone will a spare airtag can replicate this test and share their observations publically.

    I’d hazard a guess that we’d discover that the stores were not to blame, but then I’m cynical like that.

      Think about it this way, many Starbucks are in strip malls or developments where they dont own the property. There is consolidated waste management for the site and the property manager handles it, its out of their control. This is 100% reality, my wife used to work in commercial real estate.

      I think the problem comes in with the deceit. They have recycle bins even if they don’t recycle and its out of their control. They’re lying to the customer, that is the crux of the problem.
