Starbucks Environmental Scan

Starbucks Environmental Scan Starbucks is a company in which purchases and roasts high quality whole bean coffees and sells them along with fresh, rich-brewed, Italian style espresso beverages, a variety of pastries and confections, and coffee-related accessories and equipment (starbucks.com).

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.

People ordered many different types of drinks
