En réunissant les gens autour d'un café, Starbucks est devenue l'une des entreprises les plus connues et les plus appréciées au monde. Ils achètent, rôtissent et servent du café primé. Ils offrent également des boissons espresso de style italien, des boissons froides mélangées, des aliments délicieux, des thés haut de gamme et des disques compacts sélectionnés dans leurs magasins de détail. Travailler chez Starbucks, c'est un peu comme travailler avec leurs amis. Lorsqu'une personne travaille ici, elle n'est pas un « employé » — elle s'appelle « partenaires » parce qu'elle croit aux objectifs communs communs et à la réussite mutuelle. Ils se consacrent à servir du café d'origine éthique, à prendre soin de l'environnement et à redonner aux collectivités où ils font des affaires.
