Barely a month has gone by over the past year without the firm【C3】______some new initiative or other.

To keep customers coming to remaining outlets, he might experiment with discounts such as cheap【C17】______meals of a drink and food. He also wants a visit to a Starbucks shop to be a "【C18】______uplifting experience". Improving the smell in stores by changing the cheese used in breakfast sandwiches was a start. But【C19】______that staff are enthusiastic will be especially difficult when jobs are【C20】______.
