poor commuincation, allow people to make poor marketing decisions that keep tanking, just look at the clearance area of the stores full of crap that no one wants or cares about. Forgot that they are a COFFEE shop, not a retail outlet for crap. HR runs the show and dictates what everyone should be doing even when they have no concept of business processes or professional positions.
