Coffee giant Starbucks is looking to encourage its baristas and hourly workers to improve their sales and customer service by sweetening the pot with bigger financial perks.
The $103 billion coffee chain announced on Thursday that it would expand bonuses and tipping options in a bid to boost worker pay. Starting this July, all of its U.S. hourly workers, including baristas and shift supervisors, can make up to an additional $300 each quarter—amounting to $1,200 a year—when their stores meet or exceed sales, operational, and customer service goals.
