I think growth covers up mistakes.

People around the world, they want the authentic Starbucks experience.

Many companies today are reducing hours of full-time people to get under the minimum so they don't have to pay health care costs. I just shake my head because that's not going to build long-term value and trust with your people.

But when you really believe-in yourself, in your dream-you just have to do everything you possibly can to take control and make your vision a reality. No great achievement happens by luck.

I really believe that you cannot use the stock market as a proxy for the economy.

I think if you're an entrepreneur, you've got to dream big - and then dream bigger.

Starbucks is committed to evolving and enhancing our customer experience with innovative and wholesome food offerings.
