CNBC''s Kate Rogers joins ''Squawk Box'' to report why some Starbucks union organizers are accusing the coffee chain of dragging its feet over labor negotiations.

The retailer has added groceries, alcohol and more features to its curbside pickup service.

Target Corp. said Wednesday that it will add the option for placing a Starbucks order and making a return at the curbside pickup service in select markets, starting in the fall. Customers will be able to place a Starbucks order or start the return in the app, and the full order will be available when they arrive at the store. The goal is to continue to grow the capabilities of the company''s stores as fulfillment hubs. "As the company''s digital business has more than doubled during the last two years, Order Pickup, Drive Up and Same-Day Delivery with Shipt have accounted for more than half of those sales," the company said in a statement. The retailer is also adding categories of items to the "backup" capability, which allows customers to include a second choice in case some items are unavailable. The option was first available for food and beverage. Target stock is up 5.4% over the last year while the S&P 500 index has gained nearly 11%.
