The hectic nature of coffee shops in airports is an excellent location to validate or refute a given company's stated vision, mission and values. Starbuck's has built one of the most valuable brands globally by balancing their exceptional focus on sustainability and concern for the environment on one hand, and their continued emphasis on customer service and unique drinks, both hot and cold, always being available and customizable to any customers' requests. In observing a Starbucks in a local airport during a recent very hectic Saturday morning, the vision, mission and values of the company and its culture became very clear. While this Starbucks, tucked down at the very end of an airport concourse, did an excellent job of managing and fulfilling orders, it was obvious it was too thinly staffed for the location and traffic. This immediately became apparent when the young man taking the orders was also alternating with a barista and cashier role while two other ladies continued to take orders and fulfill coffee orders. It was evident that in the Starbucks culture the perception of lost time with customers is heavily stressed, as no customer waited more than a minute before being acknowledged, even during peak periods. The cultural values of responsiveness, respect for the customer, efficiency and speed of process came out during the most stressful times of the morning. What also became apparent was that training had been exceptionally strong at this specific Starbucks as the young man acting as a barista knew exactly how and when to start and stop blenders, espresso machines and grinders, orchestrating up to three different tasks at the same time. The culture of training was also evident in how quickly each of the workers could quickly substitute into a process that was underway while another workers was on another customer order. All of these seemed orchestrated, yet as the morning went on it appeared that this team had worked for hours together and intuitively knew how to support each other.
