It's going to be short fuses and jangled nerves in the United States tonight folks: coffee conglomerate Starbucks is shutting down all of their outlets between 5:30pm and 9pm tonight for in-store training. All 7,100 outlets will be closed as part of a co-ordinated training blitz as they put 135,00 baristas through a session called "Perfect the Art of Espresso".
Picture it - for 3.5 hours, an entire country can't get their venti latte with double shot and soy substitute. That's a twitchy (and rather well-armed) nation. It would be cold turkey, but it looks like several competitors are taking advantage of the closure, such as Dunkin Donuts, who are offering 99-cent beverages.
I can't picture the ramifications if every Tim Horton's in Canada shut down for a couple hours.
