The Starbucks Gossip Blog posted Starbucks' goofy list of "5 great things to do in just 3 1/2 hours", part of a press release about this evening's closure for re-training.
Other facts from the press release:
-- Starbucks will be closed for 3 1/2 hours. That's 210 minutes or 12,600 seconds.
-- Approximately 7,100 Starbucks stores across the country will temporarily shut their doors to the public.
-- More than 135,000 baristas in the United States will be trained in a matter of hours.
-- That amounts to almost a half a million hours of training in one night.
We're sending a coffee-loving copy editor out to review some complicated drinks before and after the training to see if those half-million hours made any difference at all. Check back later.
