Attn:: All Concerned Parties

Starbucks will be closing Tuesday, February 26, 2008 at five thirty for all retraining of Barista’s.

Exciting isn’t it. Well perhaps that could be debated. But undebatable is how daring this move is on the part of Howard Schultz it just another example of the care and concern he has for this company. The praise he and the company have gotten about being honest with their mistakes and desire to “bring it back to the basics” was noted.

One so called “mistake” was the breakfast sandwiches. And there does not seem to be a whole lot of complaint about their absences. Perhaps it is just a lack of awareness but with only fifteen members on the official Save the Breakfast Sandwich site the impact on Starbucks goers doesn’t seem ginormous.

Anyway, don’t plan on ordering your usual Starbucks drink Tuesday night and you can forget about the breakfast sandwiches in future.

I believe you hold the title of "the only person I know with their own blog." I like it too, it looks good, its not cluttered, and the entries are interesting. As a very casual coffee drinker, I would be interested in a list of drinks to try that would give me a taste of the different types of coffee beverages (i.e. a good latte, a good espresso, etc...). Hope to see you around.

I hope Starbucks doesn't take away their fruit and yogurt cups. Those are the best. I also think it was a good idea to shut down the shops for a couple hours to get a good training session in. It shows caring by them and that, along with a hot cup of joe, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
