Oh How I Laughed!
In news today from America, Starbucks will be shutting down its 7,100 company-owned stores this afternoon in order to – and this is true, I swear!– teach its staff how to make coffee.
Not surprisingly, Starbucks' competitors are having a field day with this, offering half-price or even free coffee to ensure that everyone gets enough caffeine during those dark hours. I could insert some witticism or comment here, but in this case, actions really do speak louder than words.
Read the full story here.
And this is kind of funny too (Not to mention true!).

But... but... but...
This *really* makes no sense - this is so not going to make their coffee any better at all. You actually need to use *REAL* coffee to make, well, real coffee.
Highly amusing that they think this will help, though...
What has Starbucks got to do with coffee?
