There are more near you than near me. With my luck, I'd assign it and have to make a special trip. Too much hassle for me. We have 20 Starbucks for every CB&TL near me.
Coffee Bean and Tea is shopped regularly by a major MSC.
Oh gosh. I forgot about that one. It's like a coupon. Hardly worth it for $4.
I do it as a filler shop. If it's on my route I don't mind stopping for a muffin, bagel or coffee. Easy report. I think their Caramael frappuccino is better than Starbucks. I guess they call it "blended".
Years ago, a different company had this account. It was run similar to the Chipotle account. Funny thing, I know the executive who wrote that old report for CB& TL. I told him it was a lame report, and then he told me he wrote it.
We had a long discussion about "for here or to go". He works for a different fast food chain now. He got a better offer.

I always assumed the issue with "for here or to go" was the sales tax. I'm guessing they had an issue with the state tax franchise board over not collecting tax on orders that were "for here" but not ring up as so. In California, if the coffee/ pastry is "To go" it's not taxed and vice versa for "for here" orders. Am I right?

Yes, Starbucks was smarter and "built in" the tax. Whomever did it for CB&TL must have been the same person that thought that we would want to eat off of china plates, like they do in Singapore. (That's the reason for the paltes BTW.)

In California it is not whether it is for here or to go on the tax question.If it is a prepared food item from a place that is like a restaurant it is taxed. If you buy a prepackaged prepared food frozen thing in a grocery store there is no tax but If you go to the deli in the grocer and have them make you a sandwich you pay tax on it as that compares to buying from a restaurant and it is something considered that you can consume right away. They even usually give you little packages of mustard, napkins etc which would be a tip off as to whether it is taxable too. A pound of meat in a package from the deli should not be taxable. For any retail place like a coffee shop you pay tax on almost everything because it is made for you . The pastries are made for you too and a Starbucks type place is considered like a restaurant. I am not sure whether you would pay tax if you purchased a one pound bag of coffee to take home at STarbucks.. Probably not the way I understand the law.
Haagen Dazs, TCBY, 16 Handles, Ben & Jerry, Dairy Queen, Menuodos, and Auntie Ann are few of the ice creamery/yogurt shopped around here.
