Starbucks Pauses Reusable Cup Program Amid Coronavirus Fears
Chauncey Alcoron, writing for CNN Business:
Starbucks (SBUX)on Wednesday announced it is temporarily suspending the use of personal cups and tumblers at its stores around the world to help prevent the spread of coronavirus.
This is unnecessary (it borders on fear mongering), and it’s another instance where Starbucks’s insincere commitment to the environment is demonstrated by a lack of emphasis on their reusable cup program.
UPDATE: 7/30/20, 16:55:
Well, this didn’t age gracefully at all. Still, I maintain that Starbucks was never serious about their reusable cup program.
