Most of this string has a great sense of humor being displayed. It is "one of the fun ones" to read. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

I’ve been enjoying the thread and have been reading parts of it to my son-in-law, who is an information security/IT architect. He said “why don’t they just install a new router?”

I also have never cared for SB’s coffee, but apparently a lot of people do.

Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I hear they closed because of a coffee shortage.

I enjoy the Starbucks on 466 it’s a nice comfortable place and I usually stop there couple of times a week and same at the one on 466a which is a very big Starbucks , I only drink a small black coffee and the price is not out of line with other shops. They both have more staff then you would think they would need , maybe because they pay them . I like a nice coffee shop , sure I can have a cup at home , but for me a nice coffee shop , just like a nice bar are a couple of life’s simple pleasures

I believe I read earlier (it may have even been on the SB site or app, though I don't see it there now) that they were closed with a reopening on Monday the 29th so that would probably jibe with the idea of network problems needing to be fixed. I recall that I had to pay cash at the drive thru about a month ago at this store because they had problems that day.

**IF** that is the actual reason they are closed my guess is they don't simply pick up a router at Best Buy. Their system must require a specially and highly protected router/firewall since it handles all their transactions etc.

THAT BEING SAID, While I have no idea I'd bet that isn't the real reason as the fix could have been done a lot faster..

Had you seen Starbucks in LSL at 10AM this morning, you would know where most of their addicted customers probably ended up. It was a zoo. Line was out the door and people were waiting outside it was so packed. Took 21 minutes from time of order on our app as we left home till it was ready. The employees there were amazing, working together like a fine tuned machine in a tiny store. Kudos to them.

He is probably thinking of Starbucks on 441 where there is road construction.

I gave up along time ago trying to figure out what people are thinking.

Outrageously over priced coffee joint. Which most charge until they get the charge bill and realize it’s just coffee. Eventually most will go under.

They opened in 1971 and they have more then 32,00 stores. I don't think they are going under. 2020 profit 15.8 billion!

So $2.70 for a cup of hot coffee with free refills all day (if you have their app) is so terrible? Hey, we all have our vices. I don't smoke so I figure all the thousands I saved over the years makes up for the "expensive" coffee. I did try Panera's $10/month unlimited coffee which they are constanly pushing to get you into the store but after the 3rd day I gave it up. Other than it tasting like barely hot coffee flavored water I couldn't deal with all the folks tripping over themselves at the coffee dispenser as well as the lady constantly hawking political paraphernalia blocking the dispensers during the height of covid last year with no mask spitting on the counter when she yelled.
