		<description>I&#039;ve never heard it explained this way, but I think it&#039;s spot on. In the beginning, Starbucks was about the experience and the customer. 

But I will differ from you/Maney on the convenience point. Starbucks is really not about convenience, they opened all those stores for the benefit of the stock price. They wanted to be able to show year-to-year sales growth. Now, they are just about selling stuff, any stuff to inflate the sales figures.</description>
