The Starbucks example to me is a bad example, and seems very cherry picked. They mention the one time stock bonuses he got, most likely part of his recruitment. He’s a highly sought after fast food executive. They also got him to work in Seattle. Last time he switched companies (Taco Bell to Chipotle) they moved their headquarters to him in Newport Beach. Chipotle moved their headquarters from Colorado to California, and their stock went up ~5x during his tenure. That’s probably why he got a huge signing bonus. And Chipotle wasn’t paying him peanuts either, apparently he made $38M one year and was averaging around $20M.

He stated his plan with Starbucks is focused on “theater” and in person service. Doesn’t sound like coffee bot to me.
