Anyone else's Starbucks close yesterday, because of water filter maintenance? We opened at 5 as usual, then around 7 a.m. the DM phoned and was like "WTF!? Why are you open?".
Got paid for 5 hours doing nothing, but looking at customers faces as they walked away angry and disappointed. Most rewarding day in my Starbucks history. My DM said 1500 stores nationwide were affected. SM was **** as chocolate fudge brownies. We re-opened around 7 p.m.
I heard about it, but it didn't affect my store. My SM hadn't even heard about it.
At least you got paid!
My store was affected too, but we found a note on the door that said "OK to open" when we came in so we did. The only thing was that we didn't get milk, RTD sandwiches/boxes/yogurts, or breakfast sandwiches. I got a break from customers when I had to go get more milk.
oh my GOD! What did people DO?!?! I'm surprised the entire world didn't collapse because they couldn't get their morning grande latte. I would have loved to be in your shoes bananawalnut.
One of our stores in the district was affected. I heard they shut everything down because a partner died with the filtration exploded? Not in our district, but some where else.
It's a non-issue. Starbucks stores are open 7 days a week, and they do need routine maintenance.
Whoa. Yeah. We had this happen to us. I had no idea it was an epidemic...lol
