Starbucks workers face significant staffing shortages, leading to long customer wait times for orders. A survey found only one-third feel their stores are well-staffed.
Former CEO Laxman Narasimhan noted that slow order fulfillment has led to loyal customers canceling orders, significantly affecting sales.
