Caffeine Addicts (That's All of You Seattle): Start Planning Ahead

The world just might stop its rotation on February 26th. Seattle's coffee giant, Starbucks, has just announced that all 7,100 of its stores will close for three hours that day. Whatever shall we do?
The recently returned CEO of Starbucks, Howard Schultz, made the announcement today. The three-hour closure will be spent retraining baristas nation-wide, in hopes of boosting sagging sales. Blessedly, it's not at peak coffee drinking time. The closures will take place at 5:30pm, and last until 8:30pm on the 26th.

Please God, let it be part of a plan to get rid of the automatic machines.
Maybe they're taking the time to spray scent neutralizer in all the food cases to rid the store of sandwich smell.
7,100 of its stores, not it's.
Somehow I think we'll all survive...
