Starbucks to close: from 5:30-8:30 p.m. today for staff training

For those of you who live in South Florida who finish work just after five, you will not be able to get your caffeine fix from Strarbucks, as their stores will close from 5:30-8:30 p.m. today due to staff training. Starbucks are calling this three hour closure espresso training.

This training event is happing nationwide at different times at 7,100 of their coffee stores. This training is the idea of Howard Schultz who returned as Chief Executive of Starbucks to try and turn around their fortune. Last year the company’s profit dropped by 42 percent. Looks like customers will have to go to one of Starbucks rivals for three hours then.
