Circling back: Last time, we told you that Starbucks is requiring baristas to write customers’ names and notes like “You’re amazing!” on cups to appeal more to customers, so we asked if you thought the new practice really would improve the customer experience at Starbucks. No, it won’t, responded 67.5% of you, while 27% thought the notes would improve the customer experience, and 5.5% didn’t know or weren’t sure.
