Why is Starbucks struggling : The Seattle coffee giant said revenue dropped 2% in the January-March period as store traffic slowed around the world. It was the first time since 2020 that the company saw a drop in quarterly revenue. Starbucks also lowered its sales and earnings guidance for its full fiscal year.
What are the negative impacts of Starbucks : Starbucks uses more than 8,000 paper cups a minute, which adds up to more than four billion a year. 1.6 million trees are harvested every year for all of those single-use cups. Since these cups are lined with plastic, they are not really recyclable ─ only four U.S. cities even accept Starbucks paper cups for recycling.

Dependence on a large number of company-operated stores
Starbucks has a significant number of company-operated stores, which can be seen as a weakness because it leaves the company vulnerable to operational risks and costs associated with managing these stores.The company's strengths include a strong brand image, robust financial performance, and extensive international presence. However, Starbucks faces challenges such as high prices, product imitability, and competition from low-cost coffee sellers.
Why does Starbucks have a bad reputation : The coffee giant has been dragged to court multiple times—for big issues, like racism, or seemingly small ones, like skimping on milk and ice in its drinks. Collectively, these controversies have significantly impacted Starbucks both financially and in terms of its reputation.
