Same experience every time I’ve gone only repair cost is always more than 50% of the cost of replacement.

This is an unfortunately normal perk for c-level execs at major corporations. I’d be surprised if Starbucks only had one. He also most certainly has a driver (likely with military experience), and an apartment at the Ritz or similar in Seattle - all covered by the company.

CEOs sometimes think like this, but they seem to forget how much more they are paid when it comes up.

Once you start looking into the products you buy, you may find it’s harder to do than you’d hope. This guy is just more incompetent at keeping quiet about it than most.

100%. That is how public services work (for the person you replied to).

Seems like a good example of how running a company for the shareholders doesn’t produce a a better product after all.

I think it’s more for major shareholders (which includes CEOs, of course)
