Starbucks is closing 500 of its stores and cutting 7% of its work force. As many as 12,000 full-time and part-time retail positions will be eliminated with the store closures all over America. Read the full article at http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121494400432420449.html?mod=googlenews_wsj.
This is the saddest news ever. It's a good thing that I don't live in the States. I don't know what I'd do without my coffee jelly fix.

Well with the price of gas,food and mortgages so high people should not go spending that much for a cup of coffee.That ridiculos!I feel bad for the employees without a job now.At they way prices are now,people can't afford to loose their jobs.

That is sad. I didn't realize that and I do like Starbucks coffee. The saddest part to me is the poor people who are losing their jobs. It just goes to show their is no sure thing when it comes to a job. It is a good thing that I am not a coffee drinker that drinks coffee everyday. Just once in awhile. But I do think that Starbucks is one of the best coffee's around.

Wow, I am actually thinking about accepting a job at Starbucks. They don't pay their baristas very well. I love coffee, and they are listed as Forbes 100 best companies to work for, but they are going down somewhat.
