“Everyday millions of people get together at Starbucks. But it’s never just been about coffee,” my computer reads as I furiously click at the bottom right hand of the screen where the “Skip Ad” button will appear in nine seconds. “Everyday millions of people are annoyed at YouTube for adding advertisements before every video, because what I really want is another commercial break when I am trying to watch Jimmy Fallon’s monologue from last night,” I bitterly mutter to myself hopefully quiet enough for my coworkers not to hear me and think I am clinically insane. I don’t need to be known as the person that talks to herself while sitting at her cubicle. As the video continues I see the names of cities flashing by on the screen. I watch as New York …show more content…
Third chair? Third place? I don’t quite follow what you mean,” I say with a tone of confusion in my voice. “Well,” she begins, “Starbucks is made to be your third place. You have your work, your home, and your third place. You can’t just be stuck going back and forth between the same two places. You need somewhere else to go. The third place is sort of like a break from where you work and where you live. So the customer I like to tease, Aaron, is here everyday from 4:00-6:15 in this exact seat,” she says as she points to burgundy love seat in front of us, “and we call it his third chair. The next time you come in, look for a man with black hair and a navy blue jacket sitting right here. That will be him.” Suddenly we hear, “Hey Tracy get back to closing I want to go home!” shouted from the back of the store. We rise, turn away from the chairs, and walk towards the exit. She pushes the door open and allows me to pass by her. I walk through the doorway and turn around to say, “I think I will have to speak to Aaron about it, I’m curious about this third chair idea you all have.” I pivot and begin walking towards my car in the parking lot. Just as I reach my car I hear her yell, “Tell him Tracy sent you!”
Joseph Turow’s The Daily You shows us the in depth look of behind the scenes of the advertising industry and its impact on individuals in the consumer society we live in. Every time you click a link, fill out a form or visit a website, advertisers are working to collect personal information about you, says Joseph Turow, a professor at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania. Then they target ads to you based on that information they collected. This tracking is ubiquitous across the Internet, from search engines to online retailers and even greeting card companies.
My name is Ana Nicole Paz and I am a 16-year-old high school student. I read your memoir How Starbucks Saved My Life and can honestly say I thoroughly enjoyed the read. Even after losing your job, house, marriage, money, and learning you had a brain tumor, I loved the fact that you took an otherwise negative situation and turned it into a positive life experience that would make you the happiest man you could have ever dreamed to be by accepting a job at Starbucks. I also appreciated that you did not hide any of your thoughts in your memoir, but were rather very straightforward, even with the prejudices you held, and were quick to learn that they were unwarranted to move forward from such ignorance.
All that you need to know is that if a bumblebee ever comes up to you in Dunkin’ Donuts, it might want a medium French Vanilla iced coffee with three creams and three sugars. If you don’t give the bug its beverage, you might leave the coffee shop with a new hole in your body, one that’s stinging, itchy, and a blotchy crimson that definitely won’t disappear for a couple of hours. This is just a fair warning for you coffee lovers out there: do not anger the bees.
Communication is an essential and vital aspects of a person’s life, and something they will encounter on a regular basis. It comes in many different forms, and quite possibly the broadest and most powerful form is advertisements.

Moe’s Cafe After my trashy car broke down I decided to head toward Moe’s Cafe. I sat down at the first booth on the left. The place looked horrible, there were cockroaches crawling all around the floor. Dust clunks are scattered around the ground.

For my analysis, I chose to write about Starbucks Coffee Company and its mission statement. Starbucks’ mission statement reads, “To inspire and nurture the human spirit – one person, one cup and one neighborhood at a time.” We all know that Starbucks has enjoyed a huge amount of growth over the past 10+ years, and it is clear that they are seeing that success because they are putting their mission into action. Reading the mission statement, it’s easy to identify Starbucks’ areas of focus: the human spirit, coffee, and community. The company’s “About Us” web pages align with its mission statement.
Every emotion rushing through me at once, the anticipation of how I want these sequence of events to play out start running through my mind. As I stand there with a sinister grin there is a knock on the door, Marissa has arrived. Dan yells, "I am not answering that, you wanted this you go open the door. " "No worries, Dan. I am answering the door now," I said to him.

Scrolling through twitter or facebook, watching tv, or even picking up your mail at the end of the day will expose you, and the people around you to advertisements. Although many people will not realize the harm done by these ads it is a very serious issue throughout the world. Advertisements use sexualized and objectified images of women which have a major effect on society today.
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. It was the motto of Starbucks’ owner Howard Schultz and, mostly thanks to his philosophy, the company has become the biggest coffee drink retailer in the world. 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.
