Anybody know why Canadian stores tend to open on Thursdays (actual opening, not friends and family), while American stores tend to open on Fridays?

Nobody has talked about it on here yet! I think this is a company wide rollout, at least for USA Starbucks. What do you guys think about it? Have any funny stories about trying to sell it ( Read more... )

I was a barista two years ago for my college, and I'm currently covering barista shifts at a hotel right now. I know I'm out of practice, but I've been trying like hell to make a cappuccino, and I'm having crazy problems with it ( Read more... )

It sucks quite a bit to think you ( Read more... )
