Office Gets Rid of Starbucks Coffee

Can be found in the Category: Personal Perspective - 30 Jan 2009

The economy has everyone concerned.

The other day, a friend of mine told me that their office got rid of their Starbucks coffee and replaced it with a cheaper brand. The intention was good - they wanted to save money.

We all need to watch what we spend. I always say spend the company’s money as if it were your own.

The more I thought about this though, the more I realized that we may be contributing to the economic downturn without even realizing it. The example of eliminating Starbucks seems like a small thing, doesn’t it?

On Wednesday, I read that Starbucks had missed their numbers by 69% and they were laying off over 6000 people.

In a very small way, a cost saving measure for one company contributes to the economic pain for another.

Have a great weekend and don’t forget to drop by your local Starbucks and have a cup.
