Hopefully there is enough nuance in the world to recognise that they are both coffee shops and a bank. In the same way Google is both a search company and ads company.
Consider the following: Amazon isn't really an online retail company; it doesn't really sell goods to the consumer. What it does is use "goods" that it delivers as a loss leader to get people to click on buttons to give Amazon money.
Starbucks is a coffee company, that introduces an optional extra step of gift cards for other consumer convenience reasons. The fact that there is a comically large amount of money held in the gift cards system is just that: a slightly comical fact.
