The workers might be distracted by other problems that are literally impossible for the CEO to even simulate, like food insecurity, housing instability, looming medical bankruptcy, etc. I bet the CEO is able to be a much more productive barista without spending company time worrying about those things!

If the CEO is spending a shift working on the line, he still has all his CEO responsibilities to worry about. Those are 24/7, they never stop.

Of course of those problems become too much for the CEO they can always quit.

Well for companies as large as Starbucks, I think most of those responsibilities come down to picking the nicest place for a three martini lunch.
