. >> melissa, howard schultz turned it over to the other executives.re's no word of head winds or talk of weather or coffee prices and commodities or anything like that. it's all pretty amazing and starbucks is really proving these new companies are a huge mashup. are you a technology company? do you sell coffee? he is examining that now and the potential is another future revenue stream. starbucks payments, he called it stars and currency is proving to be so successful it is making wait time shorter. driving sales. he thinks that is something they can license to other people to use. 56 cents a share. record revenues came in about $3.9 billion. 6% sales growth. it is now 17 quarters in a row they have had 5% or better for overall sales growth and he talked about real estate and how they are reenvisioning store designs and drive throughs in particular. >> highly profitable drive throughs represent an opportunity for us. and with this tremendous success of our recently introduced drew through only stores with walkup windows. >> they have one of those tha

amazon, pro-gay rights, starbuck, howard schultz has taken a stance against guns in his store.il-a, conservative. the idea of a ceo losing his job, i frankly find pretty troubling. >> for something e did several years ago. he said he'd work with the lgbt community. so many tech companies have a very inclusive tolerant brand, an image, that almost they're intolerant of intolerance. >> that's right, and it's worth remembering the position that he held on same-sex marriage was the nation barack obama held until about a year ago. >> true. a large majority of americans -- not a majority, but a -- >> a plurality. in the 40s somewhere. >> there you go. >> so the idea, it's not like he held nazi views or some sort of way out there views. these are views held by millions and millions of americans. so the idea that that could get you fired is interesting, and also i think the gay community -- this wasn't an organized campaign to get rid of him. this arose largely because, okaycupid started urging users not to use mozilla. >> to use a different browser. >> i'm sorry, use a different brows

here is what howard schultz thanks. >> i read that connecticut is the first state that is going to $10.10. they are not doing this until 2017. >> that is what the president recommended? >> the inequality in america is very significant. the question is, do people have as much access to the american dream as they did when our parents and grandparents -- probably not. i am on the wrong side of the debate for most people. >> they say it may cost jobs. they say they will have to increase the price. >> we have to see about that. i think there will be unintended consequences if we go to $15 per hour. at starbucks, we have always looked at total pay. we pay about the minimum wage. between equity and stock options, we are way above it. we will have unintended consequences of a close above $10. >> the conversation turned to their partnership with oprah. >> we're going to do for tea what we have done for coffee. i have known her for many years. she told me how much she loves tea. we have always trained about doing something together, but never could find it. i think her values match ours. we want to

mark zuckerberg of facebook, larry ellison, howard schultz of starbuck's, disney's bob eiger, so thetion people ask, when is some of this money going to go into hiring more people, giving more jobs? >> the answer is, not in march. i always tweet, there's going to be a month ceos realize it's their own benefit to pay people a little more. this was not that month. the disappointing thing in this jobs report was the fact wages barely failed to budge. less concerned about the fact those guys are making money, that's how those guys really. i'm more concerned with the fact there is this pathology surrounding wages and refusal, even though profits are at a record high, even though cash holdings are at a record high, even though the stock market is at a record high, they just won't give it up when it comes to paying people a little more, and that would be a huge form of stimulus to the economy. >> and peter, when you look at what the president had to say this week, he went back to the example of henry ford and when he basically doubled wages, how productive his workers became and then he goe

first, number 14 on the list, howard schultz of starbucks.ere's a company that just reported a smashing quarter with same-store sales better than just about any retailer i follow. lots of people think this stock is tapped out higher coffee prices, saturation. whatever. hence why it's been stalled at $70 lately. i look at that as an opportunity to get into one of the highest-quality growth companies ever, these are four reasons why. first is, think about this. technology. not that long ago, howard stepped away from the minute-to-minute running of starbucks to spend more time emphasizing mobile initiatives putting them ahead of the competition. not just in retail, but technology. that technology business could be worth -- i'm not kidding, tens of billions of dollars because how much better it is than everybody else. second is disrupting. when we were in seattle march 19th, howard announced oprah chi. i think it's going to do with tea what it did with coffee. it's been underutilized. drive throughs now, lunch initiatives. and get this, even beer

the cost of some of these produces up so high, i have to check chiquita, especially i spoke to howard schultz about the price of coffee, i'll make a better judgment. if we come in on monday without resolution in ukraine, don't get too bullish. we have a big gauntlet of earnings ahead of us. for some stocks, the selling could have a ways to run. stick around to find out where opportunity may not yet be knocking. stay with cramer. >>> and later -- the ukrainian connection. solid earnings weren't strong enough to shield the markets from the escalating tensions overseas. is it time to take defensive action amid the new western struggle with russia? don't miss cramer's take. >>> plus, roth or regular? roth or regular? don't make an easily avoidable error and cost yourself a comfortable retirement. if you've got questions about setting up the right kind of account, cramer has a necessary insight you won't want to miss. it's all part of his playbook. all coming up on "mad money." >>> don't miss a second of "mad money." follow @jimcramer on twitter. have a question? tweet cramer #madtweets. send jim

makes the list. >> my favorite is howard schultz story.. he goes to italy and he realizes that espresso bars are the social hub of these towns. he says, we've got to do that at scale. has to go out, do it on his own. he buys the starbucks name and now we know we need it every single morning. >> it's a fascinating list. we'll put the entire one up on our website. but it's the first 25. cnbc. congratulations on the anniversary. it's good to see you. >> you, too. >> and you can catch the one-hour special cnbc first 25, rebels, icons and leaders tonight, 7:00 eastern on cnbc. >>> up next, we're heading into the kitchen with giada de laurentiis. but first, on a tuesday morning, this is "today" on nbc. >>> back now at 8:49 with "the voice" on "today." new drama as the top ten performed live and blake shelton's gift to fans of adam lavi lavine. here's carson daly with the latest. >> "the voice" show day is a mix of playful moments, partying, last-minute rehearsals, and glam, glam, glam. with just 508 seats 850 seats i audience, the lucky few file

howard schultz peculiarly stepped down from the board of square in october, and then has sort of recusedions at starbucks because he wants to focus more on mobile. the big question he got on that call when he made that move, are you guys looking at an acquisition? he said there's no particular company we're looking at acquiring, but it's safe to say a lot of people want to see what starbucks can do this this space. you don't have apple or google, but a whole lot of people circling this technology. >> and the starbucks piece. i suspect he stepped down from the board potentially because of the partnership underperformed what people wanted it to do. it didn't lift up square wallet, which is platform from the phone, the usage adoption they wanted there ultimately. and that's why i think it is a takeout target. if you look at itunes with 575 million people who have their credit cards in, ready to buy stuff on iphones, it makes so much more sense for square to get that growth through being an acquisition. >> the story is interesting, because it says dorsey was cool on the idea of getting acqui
