Starbucks, with 238,000 employees, allows eligible employees to receive a free coffee or tea “markout” every week. The employee can select one pound of whole bean coffee, with certain exceptions, or substitute one box of 12 pods, one box of VIA Ready Brew packets, one box of Tazo tea or one container of Tazo concentrate each week.
This program allows for employees to access the products sold by Starbucks each week for no cost. With the flexibility of the product, employees have the opportunity to choose the product best suited for themselves.
