Came here to say this. What ‘premium’ experience is he talking about?

Something tells me that the only Starbucks he actually has used recently is likely a very high-end version for the C titles in HQ, meters away from his office and for employee use only.

Aren't they all just like this? /s

I was able to walk through that premium experience for free. I'm not sufficiently bougie to appreciate investor grade coffee, tho.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They're calling it an experience becuase consumers are indicating they are willing to pay for experiences while pulling back spending on daily expenses.

Consumers mean concerts and vacations and this douche knows he isn't actually offering an experience so he does the mind trick where he says the term over and over to associate in the consumers mind the idea that drive thru coffee is an experience.

[–] notwhoyouthink@lemmy.zip 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Absolutely. It was a clear attempt at adding ‘perceived value’ by using the word ‘experience’ so many times. He knows what type of consumer he’s speaking to.

These interviews are really just PR opportunities for guys like this (in their perception).

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 6 points 22 hours ago

The interviewer should have pushed back and asked what made it premium.

[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago

He's talking about the Starbucks experience he has. Headquarters will always be the perfect Starbucks, and if he goes to a real shop, it'll be a newly opened one with a new special item. He doesn't go to the actual shops people probably associate with Starbucks.

The ones in asia are well decorated. People go there to take video calls.
