Meet the team!

Because we like to get to know our customers, we would also like to introduce ourselves. This week is up to:

 

Travis

 

 

Meet Travis Hatridge! He is our partner, all the way from Texas, USA! He's been living in Amsterdam for 8 years already and just got signed off in Advanced Latte Art!

Hi Travis, tell us, what did you decide to work with Starbucks?!

Well, I heard about this new store, which was all built in a sustainable way, they said, which got me interested. But first of all, I just needed a job, off course!;-)

 

Alright! What is it exactly what makes you so interested in this whole sustainability matter!?

I did my final thesis in Sustainability in Corporate Social Responsibility! That will explain enough.;-) I finished my study International Business Management last June.

What recommondations do you have for Starbucks regarding this matter?!

I think Starbucks is doing a good job at this point, but there are still things to improve. Like more recycling in cups perhaps? I know there are lots of regulations to items which are in contact with food though, but still we could maybe examine this more?

What do you think you'll be doing in 2 years?!

Well, I would like to work at the Starbucks Support Centre, actually. I really like my job as a barista, because of the nice colleagues and customers, but I hope there will be an opening for an entry-level position in Corporate Social Rensponsibility. I heard that they hire people more easily from inside the company. Will see!:-)

What's your favourite drink, Travis?

That will be a Latte with Hazelnut and Almond syrup!
