[quote guitarist]Not unexpected to see Starbucks not only initiate a training booster shot, but make a public show of it, going as far to issue a press release, and make a stunt out of it by closing stores down during business hours--hardly necessary, except to draw public attention--in an effort to restore faith in their product and their methods.
It also probably more cost effective doing it this way. They close at off-peak hours so the loss of sales probably pales in comparison to paying the entire barista staff overtime or having to bring in extra staff to train baristas gradually.
