Starbucks are running the scheme for the National Institute for the Elderly and hope it will contribute to the community as a whole. There have been adjustments made for the 14 employees, such as lower shelves, shorter shifts and medical insurance. Good opportunity for the old people to get a job on, get something to do. It's a hard job, no matter your age. But I feel like such an active job would be especially difficult for certain senior citizens. A senior citizen won't be is used to technology, so they might not know what to do, which could be inconvenient for both sides.
