Starbucks is shutting down all stores today and or the breakfast sandwiches just smell bad!
Tuesday, February 26, 2008
In a bold move of leadership Howard Schultz is shutting down all of the Starbucks Stores in the nation for 3 hours of training today (Tuesday) in response to a recent slowing in growth of the Starbucks brand. In spite of the short term loses that this will cause he thinks that the long term benefits will continue to make Starbucks the leader in coffee sales. Each store will close at 5:30PM local time to begin their training session.
Also, there are confirmed reports that many baristas have deemed the breakfast sandwiches which were recently added to the menu as "smelly". As a result the smelly sandwiches will be removed from the menu for the sake of coffee scents everywhere.

P.S. For the sake of full disclosure, I have procured the breakfast sandwiches for personal and private use on a number of occasions at the institution stated above and have found them to be a sufficient source of protein for those that need protein subsistence in the morning to achieve relative homeostasis. As such, I can not and will not support the termination of any such product therein but not limited to a protein breakfast sandwich procured at the institution stated above.
