How Starbucks Japan Baristas Write On Customer Cups Is Different Than The US - Tasting Table
Briefly

Starbucks has implemented a handwritten note policy on its coffee cups to create a personal connection with customers, though this practice adds extra work for busy baristas.

American customers have reacted positively to this efficiency idea, suggesting it would alleviate work for staff and enhance customer service during peak times, allowing for quicker service.
