"Starbucks' Reusable Cup Policy Stirs Concern Among Baristas and Customers"

Starbucks is expanding its reusable cup program to include drive-thru and mobile orders as part of its goal to cut waste in half by 2030. However, baristas are expressing concerns about the operational challenges this may bring, such as potential delays in service, handling dirty cups, and insufficient training and resources to manage the new system effectively. Despite a spokesperson stating that previous tests did not add wait times and pleased customers, baristas remain skeptical about the program's implementation during busy periods. Customers participating in the program receive a discount and bonus rewards, but baristas worry about potential misuse and the practicality of the initiative during peak hours.

Starbucks Nationwide Initiative Allows Personal Reusable Cups at Drive-Thrus to Reduce Waste

Starbucks has expanded its reusable cup program to include drive-thru and mobile orders across the US and Canada, making it the first national coffee retailer to do so. Customers using their own cups will receive a $0.10 discount, as part of the company's efforts to reduce waste from disposable cups. This initiative is part of Starbucks' broader commitment to environmental sustainability, aiming to reduce waste and carbon emissions by 50% by 2030. However, the environmental benefit is debated due to potential increased tailpipe emissions from waiting in drive-thrus. The company is also currently involved in controversies regarding labor practices and its response to the Israel-Hamas conflict.

"Starbucks Opens Door to Personal Cup Use for Most Orders"

Starbucks is now allowing customers to use their own personal cups for drive-thru and app orders to reduce waste, a service previously only available for in-store orders. Customers must bring a clean cup and will not have cups rinsed out by staff. The initiative, which includes a 10 cent discount and reward points for members, is part of Starbucks' broader goal to cut waste by 50% by 2030 and is in line with their efforts to encourage the use of reusables over single-use plastics. This change is applicable at company-owned and licensed locations in the US and Canada but excludes third-party app orders.

"Starbucks Pioneers Sustainability by Accepting Personal Reusable Cups for All Orders Nationwide"

Starbucks is now allowing customers to use their own personal cups for drive-thru and app orders, a service previously limited to in-store purchases. This initiative is part of the company's efforts to reduce waste and promote sustainability, aiming for a 50% reduction in waste by 2030. Customers using personal cups will receive a discount and reward points, but the service is not available for orders through third-party apps. The move addresses the increase in drive-thru and app orders, which constitute about 70% of the company's U.S. sales, and is in line with Starbucks' broader strategy to shift towards reusable containers and reduce single-use plastics.

Swiss voters approve global minimum corporate tax and net-zero carbon law amidst climate crisis.

Swiss voters have approved a global minimum tax on businesses and a climate law that aims to cut fossil fuel use and reach zero emissions by 2050. The business tax will be raised to the 15% global minimum rate from the current average minimum of 11%, while the climate law has been brought back in a modified form after it was rejected in 2021. Voters also approved to extend some provisions of the country's emergency COVID-19 law. The proposals have been backed by business groups, most political parties, and the general public.
