5-0 Reflection, Accounting in the Real World: Starbucks
1. At Starbucks, customers use cash or credit cards to make purchases. What
control problem may occur when employees accept cash for a sale?
A control problem may occur when employees accept cash for a sale because it is easier for
them to steal from a cash register. When a card is used to make a purchase, it is extremely hard
for an employee to steal from the customer.
2. Partners play an important role in Starbucks’ success. Search the Starbucks
website for benefits and programs available to them. List at least two such
benefits or programs that interest you.
