Starbucks Watch: Closing 600 Stores

hilaryduff-starbucks.jpg

News today that Starbucks announced 600 location in the US will close and could mean 12,000 jobs lost. But, thank heaven friends, none of those will be Canadian stores. Apparently we rule. The company's stock remained flat despite the news closing at 15.68/share. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer coldly asks, 'is the global domination of Starbucks finally on the wane?' [Consumerist]

Meanwhile I can report that the blended lemonade drink I had today was damned refreshing and way better than the coma inducing mint-mocha frappachino awesome I had yesterday. But here's a quick question, my barista had a mohawk today? Doesn't Starbucks stamp out that kind of faux individualism in employees? At least that's what I always prided my purchases on. You've changed big boy. Then again, someone was walking around my office in a shirt seeming to praise Mao, so what do I know.
