Starbucks Corp. is running short in some stores on basics
including cups and coffee syrups, baristas said, as the chain
grinds back to full operations in the wake of the Covid-19
pandemic.
Cake pops, cup stoppers and mocha flavoring are among the items
that have run out in places at times, some baristas said. The
company is pausing production on several lower-sales items to focus
on higher-selling ones, one person familiar with those plans
said.
A Starbucks spokeswoman said shortages of some items are
temporary and vary by store and market. The company has temporarily
removed oat milk and beverages made with the dairy substitute from
its app until it restocks its inventory, she said.
