I just read this little blurb about how Starbucks all over the country are closing their doors for 3 hours to reinvigorate the coffee passion and retrain their people.  I can see this sort of thing working in Seattle, where they are headquartered, where there might actually be some passion involved.   But was there ever any passion to be lost in the 7,000 other stores throughout the country – like say the one in the Target store here in Springfield?  Yeah… I bet they just take 3 hours off and wander over to the connected Pizza Hut Express.
