During my scan at this particular Starbucks the average age of each customer was from the low to mid-twenties, but then there are the occasional older folks in which would bring in there children of which where the ages of twelve and younger. When asked about the ethnicity of which the customers are, Starbucks holds no boundaries to that question. During my stay there where many races in which where there such as Hispanics, Caucasians, African-American, and there where also other races in which I do not even know the name of in which where there. The socio-economic level of most customers seemed very high, it seemed as if everyone there is well educated and it seemed as if most people in which where there are attending college our have attended college.

As far back as I can remember, I have always liked going out to eat. Two of my favorite restaurants are Jake’s and McDonald’s. Though both are places to dine they have their differences in their ambiance, waiting, and expense. When deciding where to go to eat, I have three things to think about. I must consider the atmosphere or where I want to go. The amount of time I have is another consideration. The amount of money that I am able to spend is a big influence.

Preliminary Starbucks – one of the fastest growing companies in the US and in the world - has built its position on the market by connecting with its customers, and creating a “third place” beside home and work, where people can relax and enjoy themselves.

However, within the new customer satisfaction report, there are shown some concerns, that the company has lost the connection with customers and it must be taken some steps to help Starbucks to go back on the right path regarding customer satisfaction. I will briefly summarize and examine issues facing Starbucks. Starting from there, I will pick the most important issue and study it from different positions.
