What if Starbucks closed for a day...

And no one cared?

When they close it impacts me as much as when a butterfly farts in the rain forest.

Well, now everyone can go at will. They have opened their crappers up to anyone that feels compelled. Not running a business, just a public toilet.

It makes me feel soooo much better about humanity.

You can also go there and use it as a library or club house. I might start using it as a hobby room.

Nothing says good coffee like every hobo and drunk wandering in to use the restroom.

On average, worldwide coffee flavor would improve.

if they closed for a day, there would be millions of coffee fiends at some other coffee shop screwing everything up ordering their drinks in TALL VENTE or GRANDE. it would derail barristas throughout the nation.

Well, around here, when Starbucks close, the amount of homeless(felons from non-sanctuary States) street crapping goes up.

So, we're all thankful when they are open.
