It forced Starbuck's customers that haven't tried alternatives for so long to look at their options for a better and/or less expensive cup of coffee. Starbuck's coffee is mediocre - service even more so. I've also noticed lately that many of their locations are in desperate need of a facelift. I doubt the training event will produce anything more than more losses for Starbuck's. -- Cale (Daily Starbuck's customer) I think Starbuck’s training event was a great thing for local coffee shops and McDonalds.
