The coffee chain is scaling back promotional offers through its mobile app to get customers to pay full price for its coffees and teas, the Wall Street Journal first reported Monday and confirmed by CNN. The move is part of new CEO Brian Niccol’s strategy to reposition Starbucks as a premium brand while also reducing the strain on employees, who get flooded with work when promotions are high.

This mistaken belief is why those flocking to cheap online will and trust drafting services are missing the boat. It is also why even many…
