New York CNN —Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz might have left the coffee giant several months ago, but he’s still offering critiques of the company he ran for about 25 years over three stints. The answer does not lie in data, but in the stores,” Schultz wrote. Laxman Narasimhan, Starbucks’ current CEO who Schultz helped pick, reported a “disappointing” quarter in its second-quarter earnings last week. The company experienced a decline in same-store sales for the first time since 2020 and slashed its full-year sales outlook. Narasimhan vowed to turn the business around by including an update to its app and mobile and payment offerings, improving service times and rolling out revamped menu items to lure customers back.

New York CNN —A New Jersey court ordered Starbucks to pay an additional $2.7 million to a former employee who successfully sued the company for wrongful termination, claiming she was fired for being White. In June, a jury had ruled in favor of Shannon Philips, who worked at Starbucks as regional director over the Philadelphia area. In an order Wednesday, Judge Joel Slomsky said Starbucks has to make the additional payment for damages. Starbucks did not have a comment about the order Wednesday, but said in June that it was disappointed in the decision. In that suit, Phillips said that when Starbucks fired her following the arrest, it was discriminating against her because of her race.

Starbucks customers can now earn Delta SkyMiles
  + stars: | 2022-10-12 | by ( Jordan Valinsky | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
New York CNN Business —Starbucks customers can now earn more than just “stars” for their purchases. Customers must first link their Starbucks Rewards and Delta SkyMiles accounts on a special website in order to start receiving miles on purchases made at US Starbucks locations. As another perk, on days that members are scheduled to fly Delta, they will earn double stars, or rewards points, on their Starbucks orders. Starbucks (SBUX) has more than 27 million US members and Delta (DAL) has around 100 million global members (the airline doesn’t break out numbers for the US). Expanding Starbucks Rewards is a goal for the company because it gives the chain access to customers’ data and ordering habits, which in turn helps the company target members with deals.
