Starbucks To Close Nationwide For Three Hours Today
Rockstar, baby…
SEATTLE — 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.

February 26th, 2008 at 9:23 amYou know with all the talk of the economy, the simple fact that people can afford to go out and buy a 7 dollar cup of coffee and that starbucks is still in bussiness says alot about our standard of living, and the resilience of our economy.

RojoNixon; Ya Mussolini my favorite historic tyrant. Ever see him on the balcony harranguing the faithful, stepping back a few feet, folding his arms and nodding his head in approval of himself? It is one of the most classic quick flim shots I have ever seen of the WW2 era dictator yahoos. It’s great. Pompous asshole that he was. I think he was a caffine freak.

February 26th, 2008 at 2:02 pmI was checking out your website. Very cool. I am interested in getting a copy of your book for my kids. We are a homeschool family and are always on the lookout for quality American history books. It is a pleasure to meet (virtualy) a Son of the Revolution. Very Cool.
I know of the best Indy coffee shop in No VA. I know the owner. One Smart lady. She was a nuclear engineer who worked for the US dismantling Russian nukes after the fall of the Soviet Union. She got tired and decided to chase after her dream of running a coffee shop. Roasts and makes her own blends…the perfect drink for any day.
The only problem is that you have to fight around the ass-wipe leftists who wander around there aimlessly …
