Starbucks, I Take My Coffee Black
The sign for a Starbucks Coffee shop is seen in New York on April 17, 2018, following the company's announcement that they will close more than 8,000 US stores on May 29 to conduct 'racial-bias education' following the arrest of two black men in one of its cafes. For Starbucks, a company that has had its mix of praise and criticism for its proactive stance on addressing race relations in the U.S. with its Race Together campaign, it is ironic that it now finds itself embroiled in a racially motivated backlash that has gripped the company, including calls for boycotts. Following the unfortunate, filmed and wrongful arrest of two black patrons, Rashon Nelson and Donte Robinson, in an all-too-familiar scene at a Starbucks store in Philadelphia, the company has perhaps disproportionately decided to shut 8,000 of its U.S. establishments on May 29 for racial bias training.

Starbucks Lacks Clear Guidance for Employees on Nonpaying Customers
The arrests of two nonpaying customers at a Starbucks Corp. cafe earlier this month have raised questions among some employees about how to handle such situations. Starbucks Chief Executive Kevin Johnson said it was wrong that a Philadelphia manager called the police about two black men who asked to use the bathroom without purchasing anything and then allegedly refused to leave when asked. Interviews with current and former Starbucks managers and baristas across the country suggest that the coffee company’s guidelines on how to treat lingering nonpaying customers in general are vague at best—if they exist at all.

Apple, Nike and Starbucks Will Be the Biggest Victims of Trump's China Tariffs
In 1930 President Herbert Hoover signed the Smoot-Hawley tariff into law. The mindless legislation placed record levels of taxation on 20,000+ foreign goods. Imports into the U.S. naturally plunged. This pleased members of the political class who saw imports as harmful. At least for a time. What protectionists of the 1930s missed is something that Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro and Donald Trump miss today: if the world’s producers can’t sell to us, they also can’t buy from us. While U.S. producers exported $5.2 billion worth of goods in 1929, by 1933 exports had plummeted to $1.7 billion. With a stroke of a pen, Hoover collapsed global markets for U.S. goods. More than even free traders will admit, Smoot-Hawley looms large when it comes to explaining the slow-growth 1930s. To understand why, it needs to be remembered that jobs are infinite. They are because there are always infinite unmet needs in the world that individuals and businesses are feverishly trying to meet. Free trade is merely an acknowledgment that the more work is divided up among individuals, the more that individuals can specialize. And when individuals are able to specialize, they’re logically much more productive. The 1930s tariffs were anti the very specialization that drives productivity and rising wages. That their imposition occurred in concert with a decline in growth is a statement of the supremely obvious. But that’s a digression. Sort of.

Starbucks’s Valuation Multiple Compared to Its Peers
A forward PE multiple is calculated by dividing the company’s stock price by analysts’ earnings estimate for the next four quarters. Starbucks’s lower-than-expected SSSG (same-store sales growth) in fiscal 1Q18 and management’s lower 2018 SSSG guidance at the bottom of its earlier guidance of 3%–5% appear to have caused its valuation multiple to fall.
