☆ Starbucks is giving away a free gift for one day only
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-10 | by ( Jordan Valinsky | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +1 min

New York CNN —Starbucks is hoping to attract customers with a little gift: a free reusable straw. The giveaway is part of Starbucks’ broader efforts to become more sustainable and hopefully generate sales. Starbucks said that the reusable straws are “compatible with the Starbucks cold cup lid and most reusable Starbucks cold cups.” Its locations phased out plastic, disposable straws in 2020 and offer biodegradable straws with “sippy cup” lids in their place. Starbucks doesn’t often offer giveaways, other than its yearly handout of free plastic red cups during the holiday season. The chain also is rolling out new cold cups that use up to 20% less plastic compared to the current version.

Shares of Dutch food delivery marketplace Just Eat Takeaway.com could more than double over the next 12 months, according to Jefferies analysts. Jefferies remains bullish on Just Eat, even as the company's U.S. business Grubhub has faced the pressures of government price controls imposed on restaurants since the Covid-19 pandemic. Just Eat expects a $100 million EBITDA impact from the amending of the fee caps, the Jefferies note reported. Shares of the delivery firm have also moved away from their high during the Covid pandemic, and are now down 18.1% year-to-date and 22.5% in the last 12 months. It also trades as an American Depository Receipt in the U.S. — CNBC's Michael Bloom contributed to this report.

☆ I audited my Amazon Prime membership to see if the $139 annual fee is still worth it

That's the question I've been asking myself every June since Amazon Prime first hooked me more than 10 years ago with a deeply discounted rate for college students. Let's audit the Prime perks that I do — and don't — use, and see if it's worth keeping around for another year. But the convenience of being able to find most products I'm shopping for and receive them in a timely manner is still a huge value for me. Smith Collection/gado | Archive Photos | Getty ImagesOn paper, there's value that I'm leaving on the table with my Prime membership. The newly added Grubhub+ membership is nice to have, but spending more money on take-out because of Amazon Prime will only make my membership feel more expensive, not less.

New York CNN —Starbucks is teaming up with Grubhub as it tries to boost sales after a challenging quarter. By August, Starbucks items should be available on Grubhub throughout the country, the company said. Prior to the Grubhub partnership, customers could already order Starbucks items via DoorDash and Uber Eats. Since the pandemic, more consumers have been getting their cafe and restaurant orders to-go, via delivery or pickup. In addition to broadening access to delivery, Starbucks is taking other steps to try to jumpstart sales, like updating its app, offering new menu items and testing staying open overnight.

New York City delivery workers who don't use cars have one of the deadliest jobs in the city. There are now more than 65,000 app-based restaurant delivery workers in the city, and about 80% of them use e-bikes and motorbikes. The city report found that 28.7% of e-bike or moped delivery workers experienced injuries that forced them to miss work, lose consciousness, or seek medical care. They're asking for wider protected bike lanes, or even separate lanes for e-bikes and mopeds, and charging facilities for e-bikes. Indeed, "New Yorkers are dependent on app delivery workers to keep them safe and fed during times of crisis," she added.

Amazon is offering Prime members free Grubhub subscriptions in its latest effort to sweeten the perks of the $139-a-year loyalty program. The e-commerce giant previously gave Prime members a yearlong subscription to Grubhub, which includes free delivery on orders over $12. As part of the move, people without Prime can also place Grubhub orders directly through Amazon's website and mobile app. It launched Amazon Restaurants in 2015, allowing Prime members to order meals from local restaurants, which were then delivered by its fleet of drivers. The company shuttered Amazon Restaurants four years later to focus on grocery delivery.

☆ Street Wars: Have E-Bikes Made New York City a ‘Nightmare’?
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-27 | by ( Dodai Stewart | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Elijah Orlandi knows what many New Yorkers think about delivery workers on e-bikes: They ride too fast. They zigzag in and out of traffic and bike lanes — sometimes going the wrong direction altogether. He has seen e-bike riders “swerving in between cars and all that kind of stuff.”But Orlandi is also hoping for compassion. Delivery apps, he noted, keep track of how quickly workers make their drop-offs — and ding them if they take too long. “Sometimes you’ll be going somewhere and Grubhub will send you another order, and then no matter what you do, you’re going to be late,” he said.

Instead, gig workers would get paid 35 cents per mile — down from the current 74 cents.
