Grieving Starbucks Closures - [8:28 AM]

Minyanville [via Starbucks Gossip]: "The grief associated with losing a branch of a ubiquitous coffe chain can be hard, especially when finding an alternative location can require the use of the sun to navigate, a skill mostly lost to history. That and the ability to walk 100 feet." - Our local Starbucks is closing, so Bug and I decided to go grab come coffee the other night, gotta get it while the gettin's good. While I was at the drive-up window waiting on our drinks I asked the Barista if he knew when they were closing. He said he don't know, nobody knew. The kids that worked there over the summer were leaving to prepare for school and the manager didn't know if she could hire replacements because they're now short employees. I'm pretty sure most of the employees, or partners, will be ok, but I hope they give customers enough warning so we can get our last grande java chip frap, or grande mocha. We'll see.
