Starbucks Is M.I.A.!


As I speak, Starbucks is shut down.

From 5:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. tonight, coffee lovers will need to get their fix elsewhere as NATIONWIDE, all 7100 stores are shut down to allow baristas to fine-tune their coffee making techniques. This includes 135,000 employees. CEO Howard Schultz says it's a re-education,
"to pull the perfect shot, steam milk to order and customize their favorite beverage."
Schultz also says it's part of his refocusing on the coffee-customer experience.

If this is a PR ploy, I will become among the countless victims tomorrow, as I seek out my perfected White Mocha Frappuccino!
