During Women's Day, Luckin Coffee's holiday gifts for female employees drew attention. This chain brand, with over 130,000 employees and a female proportion of 61%, did not distribute uniform holiday gift boxes this year as it did last year, but instead had each region prepare them on its own. As a result, Beijing employees received wellness sets, while those in Yunnan and Sichuan got folding fans and eye masks, but employees in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xi'an, and other places said they received only air. What made some people even more dissatisfied was that even when there were gift boxes, part-time staff were excluded. This regional disparity in benefits led many workers to complain continuously on social media platforms. [more…]

After Luckin Coffee's 9.9 yuan promotion was scaled back, brands like Cotti Coffee and Tims rolled out short-term 9.9 yuan offers to grab market share. Starbucks, which once declared it would "compete on market, not price," recently suffered a system glitch during its March 8 Women's Day promotion, accidentally letting some consumers buy two large drinks for just 9 yuan. The loophole quickly sparked a frenzy of deal-hunting on social media, with some successfully placing orders while others had their payments canceled and refunded after checkout. Starbucks quickly fixed the bug, and the promotional price returned to 49.9 yuan for two cups.

A comprehensive store featuring a women's membership system has sparked heated discussion on social media after posting notices stating "Men dining alone are not admitted" and prohibiting the use of computers for work.

The store responded that limiting long stays was to avoid disturbing customers trying on clothes on the second floor, but some consumers felt it was inappropriate not to clearly inform them before charging. This debate over gender, consumption scenarios, and business autonomy reflects the real dilemmas composite-format coffee shops face regarding customer positioning and service boundaries. [more…]
