Get Your Coffee Somewhere Else!

Starbucks has announced that its going to close all 7,100 stores tonight at 5:30. They are doing a fancy training for all employess deigned to foster enthusiam (I believe due to some recent profit lags). Thank goodness I am not an evening coffee drinker or I might be really upset about this.

I wonder how much $$$ it actually costs them to do something like this? Its got to be a huge amount, right? But on another note, if they are doing some training tonight - do you think that getting your AM coffee from Starbucks tomorrow will be a different experience? Better lattes? Baristas with a smile? I might just have to go in tomorrow morning and find out :)

I saw the sign in there this morning while I was fetching my coffee.
