July 24, 200719 yr They were distributing it. Maybe Starbuck's sells some of their beans to Sysco.You missed my post. Sysco has a five year contract with Starbucks to distribute Starbucks coffee and other products outside of the Starbucks chain.
July 24, 200719 yr cshs81, you need to thank Watusi for starting this thread, I just made my second visit to Starbucks today. Reading about it all day made me have to go get seconds...
July 24, 200719 yr Sysco is a Starbucks distributor. But Sysco has their own coffee, too, I wonder if its the same beans.
July 24, 200719 yr You missed my post. Sysco has a five year contract with Starbucks to distribute Starbucks coffee and other products outside of the Starbucks chain. Sysco sells a coffee package I am looking at (our cheap law firm) called "Stonebranch." I am wondering if the beans used re one and the same.
July 24, 200719 yr Sysco sells a coffee package I am looking at (our cheap law firm) called "Stonebranch." I am wondering if the beans used re one and the same.They also sell a brand called Citavo. I honestly don't know the answer to your question. I don't think any of them have coffee plantions, so they're probably buying the same coffee. I'm sure their people in Columbia are looking for particular grades and quality.
July 24, 200719 yr ***sigh*** How much are you willing to pay for 1/4 hamburger? A 16 oz coke at McDonalds? 16 oz coke is half the price with unlimited refills. Just thought it interesting that people complain about $3 gas but not $30 coffee. But then, a gallon of coffee will get you further than a gallon of gas.
July 24, 200719 yr Now that will be $2.59 with the price hike, an increase of about $1 per gallon, making it $28 per gallon. :eek: And that's using the low end of the range. :sssh:
July 24, 200719 yr 16 oz coke is half the price with unlimited refills. Just thought it interesting that people complain about $3 gas but not $30 coffee. You get unlimited refills in a drive thru transaction @ McDonalds? And, can you leave the store, and come back with your cup and get it refilled later? Or go to another McDonalds with the cup and have them refill it?
July 24, 200719 yr You get unlimited refills in a drive thru transaction @ McDonalds? And, can you leave the store, and come back with your cup and get it refilled later? Or go to another McDonalds with the cup and have them refill it? Nice try. Still much more of a value.
July 24, 200719 yr Nice try. Still much more of a value. But, the answer is????? There's no such thing as "unlimited" refills. There's always a limit. And, value is in the priority one places on a commodity. You still paying $2.75+/gallon for gas?
July 24, 200719 yr It's really not fair to compare unlike fluids on a per gallon basis. If you did, you get: Folgers Coffee $0.70/gal Kool-Aid $1.85/gal Red Bull $30.69/gal Head & Shoulders $37.74/gal Renu contact lens solution $82.03/gal Tabasco sauce $94.46/gal vanilla extract $127.84/gal Liquid Paper $198.40/gal Penicillin $301.49/gal Cover Girl nail polish $892.80/gal Human blood $1,514.79/gal black ink from an ink cartridge $2,701.52/gal insulin $9,411.76/gal Chanel No.5 perfume $25,600.00/gal Thailand cobra venom $152,835.82/gal scorpion venom $38,858,507.46/gal

July 24, 200719 yr If Starbucks isn't successful, for instance: Shareholders lose money Stores cut staff or close (costs jobs) Suppliers lose clients (lose money, cut jobs) Transportation companies lose supplier to distributor clients (cut hours, lose jobs) If the company that an individual works for doesn't make money, it will close. If it's the company you work for, I'm certain you want it to make money, otherwise you lose your job. I work for the government, if we lose money, we just raise taxes,
July 24, 200719 yr I work for the government, if we lose money, we just raise taxes, or print more money. :lol:
