Starbucks…glad you are reading my blog and glad I could help!

Posted by Scott Dunn on February 19, 2008

If you missed my comments to both Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts a few weeks ago, simply scroll down the page.  With that, I came across this post by Starbucks which states in a nutshell that all of their locations will be closing at 5:30 p.m. on February 26th for employee training.  The goal of this training:  “The comprehensive educational curriculum for all U.S. store partners will provide a renewed focus on espresso standards that will help ensure the exceptional quality of every beverage. As a result, baristas will be better prepared to share their passion and knowledge with customers. Customers will be able to truly enjoy the art of espresso as Starbucks baristas demonstrate their passion to pull the perfect shot, steam milk to order, and customize their favorite beverage.”

Looks like Starbucks finally figured out that dollar coffee is not going to work after all!  On a side note, if anyone needs any of those “FREE” itunes downloads, I still have a few.  Let me know.

If you would like to see the press release, please click HERE. 

Is it true that you are getting rid of T-Mobile in all of your stores?  Could it be that you might offer FREE Internet instead of FREE itunes downloads of bands I don’t know? Could it be that you go back to focusing on coffee? 

In any case, I am glad I could help and glad to see you are getting back to your Unique Selling Proposition.  If you you need anything else, give me a call.  You know where to find me.
