So they need to think of other ways to generate pressure," Kallas told Insider. "This shows what students and Starbucks workers demanding accountability can look like," Brisack told Insider. Union organizers across these stores, many of whom were also Cornell students, said the closures constituted an act of union-busting. Sara Trilling, president of Starbucks North America, said Starbucks later closed the remaining Ithaca stores in an ongoing effort to "transform our store portfolio." Evan Sunshine, a Cornell student who worked at two different Ithaca Starbucks locations until each one closed, said Cornell's decision is a step in the right direction.

Companies Starbucks Corp FollowJune 26 (Reuters) - Starbucks (SBUX.O) plans to issue "clearer" centralized guidelines for in-store visual displays following a union's allegations that managers banned Pride-themed decor, the coffee chain said in an internal memo to employees. "We intend to issue clearer centralized guidelines... for in-store visual displays and decorations that will continue to represent inclusivity and our brand," Starbucks North America President Sara Trilling said in the memo. The memo comes after the union representing the coffee chain's baristas alleged that managers at dozens of Starbucks locations had prevented employees from putting up Pride Month flags and decorations, or had removed them. More than 3,000 workers at over 150 Starbucks stores in the United States will walk off the job, the union said on Friday. Starbucks also filed two complaints against Workers United with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) on Monday, alleging that the union made misleading claims on the company's in-store decoration guidelines and gender-affirming care benefits.

The new guidance comes as staffers are on strike over Starbucks' treatment of its workers. Neither the post nor a Starbucks spokesperson clarified exactly what the guidelines would say. A spokesperson for Starbucks Workers United said that the chain had not informed the union about the clarified guidelines. Since Friday, union members at about 150 stores representing 3,500 workers have been on strike over the Pride guidelines and Starbucks' approach to bargaining contracts with employees. Since then, about 8,000 workers in 333 Starbucks stores have opted to unionize, though no store has won a contract yet, according to Workers United.

Starbucks filed a fresh patent for a machine that enables workers to make customized drinks quicker. Modifications drive customers to Starbucks and bring in high profits, but cause headaches for staff. When Insider tested out ordering a customized Starbucks drink online, syrups were the pricier option, costing up to 80 cents to add on. Customers can also get rude when their customized drinks take a long time to make or aren't made perfectly, many baristas said. Customers could ask for a beverage to match their outfit, and these could be mapped by the machine, the patent said.
Starbucks previously reported that premium add-ons like syrups are a $1 billion business. A drop in traffic amid a looming 2023 recession could also hit Starbucks. Jefferies is "baking into our forecast" that a recession will lower US same-store sales at Starbucks due to negative traffic growth, Barish said. Those modifiers are big business for Starbucks, according to Sara Trilling, president of Starbucks North America. Add-ons are a $1 billion "high margin" business for Starbucks that has doubled since 2019, the company said during the November call.
