Starbucks Close for 3 Hours. Americans Lose Their Minds.

[Prawn]

Yesterday Starbucks closed all their stores from 5:30pm - 8:30pm for employee training. Of course, the chaos ensued. It was all over the news and I spent my morning laughing at people threatening never to go back to Starbucks and that they must not care about their customers. News Flash! Few companies really care about their customers and would it kill people to learn how to brew their own coffee? Funny stuff but yet another "wonderful" commentary about my country.

"We're from Ethiopia. We need our coffee,"

One of the most surreal things I've ever read.

Couldn't they just have walked across the street to other Starbucks?

3hrs.to learn how to say ,"in a cup or a mug" " would you like a muffin" (what here with everyone watching).
i do like a coffee though, a habit that developed whilst working in holland, a guy used to come round every hour with a cup of strong black stuff for everyone, around about 3'0'clock it was a mad dash, when you felt that rumble you had to get there and quickly, sod the 1/2 million quid machine it was drop everything before you litterally did drop everything.:toilet:

Tim Hortons is far superior. A "double double" is fan-tas-tique.

And they never close for staff training - because every Canadian knows how to make coffee already
