Starbucks Shutdown…Hello Dunkin Donuts!
by Jamie Colby
Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz says hold on to your coffee cup!! For 3-hours today more than 7-thousand Starbucks will close…all part of ongoing training to “perk” up employees. I have to admit I just don’t understand what’s so sensational about Starbucks. Maybe it’s the donuts but when it comes to coffee, I’m a Dunkin Donuts girl. But no question, millions of you disagree and are willing to wait and wonder if the three people assigned at your Starbucks to get your one cup of Joe to the finish line will get it right.
Tell me your Starbucks stories and what you want employees to get out of this training today as you are forced to decaffeinate!
