Every Starbucks in the US (approx. 7100 stores) closed this past Tuesday from 5:30pm -9pm for a barista retraining. Apparently the company wants to fine-tune the way their baristas make espresso and other coffee drinks. It makes me wonder:

  • Has Howard Schultz been reading my blog?

  • I’m not sure 3 hours is going to do it.

I hope it helped… I’ll have to go try one and let you know.
