Starbucks closes for 3 hours Tuesday Nationwide

[xraidedloc831]

Starbucks is closing the doors at its 7,100 stores across America for a brief barista re-education.

CEO Howard Schultz announced the 3-hour closure starting at 5:30 p.m. local time Tuesday to energize 135,000 employees.

He wants baristas to share their passion for making espresso, or as he says, "to pull the perfect shot, steam milk to order and customize their favorite beverage."

Schultz says it's part of his refocusing on the coffee customer experience.

Since the chairman returned as CEO in January he has been making changes to revive Starbucks' growth.

I really doubt it will seriously affect their profitability.

Marketing.

Now you have a bunch of people that want to go in and see if the drinks are any different/better.

And because people are suggestable and can basis their opinions based on what they expect to happen, I bet a lot of people are gonna think the drinks taste better, even if they really don't.

I'm not big into star bucks but that shit is everywhere and too accessible. Every time someone makes a drink run at work it's always to star bucks. It's a grind is better though.

theres only a few situations in which i will enter starbucks.

1) im really really really really really stoned and i want one of those lemon tart cakes.

2) im getting free coffee via gift card.

3) im drunk.

im usually so stoned that when the chick at starbucks asks me for my name i get lightweight offended, like you cant just look for the black guy and tell me my shit is ready? why you gotta know my name, so your ugly ass can go on craigslist and mention it in the missed connections section?

imma start making up names from NOW ON.

like "Gassy F. Baby"
