I've often wondered what Starbucks is doing right. I've never seen or dealt with a moody or grumpy employee there and I go for coffee a lot. I don't imagine they get paid terribly well, probably get a few sick days a year but why do they seem to be happier and more effective at work (generally) than someone at Safeway, 7-11 or McDonalds? It seems to me that they've somehow managed to strike a balance of giving employees a reason to be motivated to come to work while still turning a good profit.

Their turnover is a fair bit lower than the industry average. They have some neat perks for their employees and try to really find people who love coffee.
