Starbucks has 38000 branches globally and around 18000 in the USA. Apparently the average store sells around 500 drinks a day. That’s 9 million drinks per day

Apparently the average store sells around 500 drinks a day.
That’s 9 million drinks per day just in the USA. 19 million globally. So it’s the first couple of hours, on one single day, of the combined US stores.
Not arguing either way about the comp this guy is getting - but like you say, the numbers are mind boggling when you begin to look at them!
- ffsm8 2y agoMaybe that's the source of the real issue... But that'd be hard to fix - at least across industries. For Starbucks it'd be easy (i.e. limiting the number of branches or similar via legislation) - but it'd be pretty much impossible for online companies selling digital goods or similar
- cr125rider 2y agoWait, why are we trying to limit the number of Starbucks?
- abhay37 2y agoMore like limiting the obvious catastrophic effects of wealth (aka power) disparity. People here seem to align on its existence being a moral hazard. Hard to argue against when the poor are still getting their water supply poisoned in developed countries.
