Starbucks to close 16 stores citing personal safety concerns

Word. For years, one of my x-mas gifts from my parents was a package of DD coffee

My wife & I drink Nespresso but every once in awhile I'll have some DD shipped to me.

 

How else was the purple haired barista going to get first dibs on screaming at you about wearing the mask over your nose?!

 

Glad to say I’ve never paid for Starbucks. Have possibly had a cup or two provided at a conference or golf tournament.

 

I’ve had a few gift cards from there that I have used, but never gave them a dime of my money.
Dumbest successful business model ever. Just baffles me that people waste that much money on coffee. I had a boss years back who spent over $100 a month there just on coffee. I mean she probably made 200k, but that’s basically throwing over 1k a year away. Crazy.

 

Dozens of burglars swarm L.A. mall and steal up to $100K in luxury goods; bear spray used against guards (msn.com)

LOS ANGELES — Armed with bear spray, a group of up to 50 people swarmed a Los Angeles mall Saturday and made away with around $100,000 worth of luxury items, officials said.

Thirty to 50 people descended on the Nordstrom store at the Westfield Topanga Mall in Woodland Hills, using the bear spray to neutralize security guards as they made off with thousands of dollars' worth of luxury handbags and high-end clothing, a police spokesman said.

The call of “numerous persons shoplifting” came shortly after 4 p.m., the LAPD said. Police estimated the loss at $60,000 to $100,000.

Won't take long for more stores to lock their doors in certain cities and move to online only
