Duke Nukem Strikes Back at Starbucks CEO on CNBC Interview

Jim Cramer vs. Starbucks CEO

Looks like Jim Cramer let loose on Starbucks CEO Laxman Narasimhan after their recent face off on CNBC. Jim wasn't holding back questioning Narasimhan's every move after a rough quarter for the coffee giant.

Trust Issues

Jim expressed his shock and dismay at the situation clearly not buying into Narasimhan's grand plans to turn things around. Looks like Jim's trust levels are lower than Duke Nukem's patience for aliens invading Earth.

Action Plan or Alien Invasion?

Narasimhan talked about an 'action plan' to tackle Starbucks' issues but with Jim breathing down his neck it seemed more like a bad video game plot than a solid business strategy.

Coffee Wars

Starbucks is facing challenges from Tim Horton's McDonald's and Dunkin' Donuts but Narasimhan pointed to growth in other markets. Looks like the coffee wars are heating up faster than Duke Nukem's jetpack in a firefight.

Headwinds at Starbucks

With Cramer downgrading Starbucks and doubting Narasimhan's ability to steer the ship it's clear that the coffee giant is facing some serious headwinds. The only thing tougher than this fight is Duke Nukem taking on the alien horde single handedly.

The Aftermath

After the stormy CNBC interview Cramer continued to express doubt about Starbucks' future. It seems like the coffee industry is shaping up to be a battle royale and Duke Nukem would definitely grab a cup of coffee and watch the chaos unfold.
