Charlotte Shields-Rossi | a&e editor I felt a bit sluggish last week, so I decided to order Starbucks. I went on the app and ordered a Peppermint Mocha (in the name of holiday cheer). The app took my money and then proceeded to tell me my drink would be ready in 50 minutes. I didn’t have time for that so I sadly had to abandon … Continue reading Charlotte’s Corner: 11/20
Eliyahu Gasson | editor-in-chief Junior Duquesne student Alayna George got a call from her district manager as she was coming out of class on Thursday. She was told that Starbucks in the South Side, where she had been working at since August, would be closing on Saturday. “It was honestly kind of unclear as to why,” she said. George went into her last shift on … Continue reading Employees concerned by Starbucks’ sudden closures
Eliyahu Gasson | opinions editor Last month I wrote a column for The Duke in which I graded each of the academic buildings on Duquesne’s campus. This article is much the same; however, the subject matter is far more important. Learning cannot be done effectively on an empty stomach. I want to make clear that this article is not an attack on the staff who … Continue reading A measured review of Duquesne dining options
Merecedes Williams | staff columnist Dec. 2, 2021 There’s no sweet aroma of baked goods or pungent smells of brewing coffee, but the Starbucks on Duquesne University’s campus draws the most exhausting line. The line represents a multitude of things. For me, my presence in the line everyday Monday through Thursday is a privilege. That line represents the courage to go back to school at … Continue reading Farewell Duq: My last trip to Starbucks
Colleen Hammond | News Editor & Managing Editor For the past week, the Starbucks in the Student Union has been closed, leaving many students wondering why. “Due to a positive COVID-19 case among one of the Parkhurst employees working in the Starbucks, the store temporarily closed to allow the employees to quarantine for the appropriate amount of time and for the store to be cleaned … Continue reading Starbucks closed after Parkhurst employee tests positive for COVID-19
Ollie Gratzinger | Opinions Editor 04/19/2018 The Starbucks in the Union is the epitome of a community hub; students stop in to meet with friends, grab a drink, do some studying or just hang out. It’s always busy, with lines out the door and drinks piling up on the end counter faster than their owners can grab them. It’s all part of a typical day … Continue reading PA Starbucks arrest highlights larger race problem
03/22/2018 By Ollie Gratzinger | Opinions Editor We’ve all heard it: the vague, huffy and ample complaints of older generations, directed toward their young, Starbucks-sipping, college debt-paying counterparts. For as long as any generational gap has existed, those to come before have always had a few (often unkind) words to say about the youths inheriting their broad world, but the level of venom being spat … Continue reading Stop blaming millennials for the problems you caused
By Nina Saluga | Staff Writer So you just got out of night class, Towers is closed and Milano’s and its greasy, cheesy, ooey-gooey college special is calling your name. Making healthy choices on campus isn’t always an easy task, and the hustle and bustle of college life with its crazy hectic schedules doesn’t make it any easier. That’s why we here at The Duke … Continue reading Fit and Fresh: How to eat healthy on Duquesne’s campus
By Sean Spencer | Staff Writer One drink sparked an economic and popularity surge in pumpkin-inspired foods. Starbucks launched the pumpkin spice latte in the fall of 2003 and sold 200 million of them over the next decade. With the “PSL,” Starbucks has changed the game for marketing. According to Jemully Media, Starbucks knows how to read the audience (primarily millennials) and target them with … Continue reading Fall: the season of pumpkin-flavored everything
By Seth Culp-Ressler | Features Editor She is beautiful. A simple phrase that can evoke any number of emotions, images and thoughts. Simple and succinct, yet still endlessly imprecise. For the small group of student veterans gathered in Fisher Hall this past Monday, interpreting this abstraction was the task at hand. They were gathered for the inaugural meeting of DU Dog Tags, a brand new … Continue reading DU Dog Tags gets campus vets writing
