星巴克新任CEO原是“卷饼界大佬”？结果还没上任就被骂惨…（讲解版）| E0826

▍原文

The newly announced boss of Starbucks, Brian Niccol, has come under fire after it was revealed he will commute almost 1,000 miles on a corporate jet.

Critics noted a discrepancy between the company's public stance on green issues and the lifestyles of its top executives.

Mr. Niccol, who had led the Mexican fast food chain Chipotle, is due to take up the role at the helm of the world's biggest coffee shop chain in September.
