Have you noticed that starbucks won't serve you decaf anymore after noon?
Isn't after noon when people want decaf, so they aren't kept awake all night?
I'm sure it makes sense to some MBA marketing weenie or bean counter somewhere when they're thinking up the strategery that gets them their big bonus, but in my humble opinion telling a third of your customers to get lost isn't the smartest longer-term cost-cutting move.
Almanac : Fire: Peet's and Calla may be shut for months,
There were coffee and scones this morning at Peet's Coffee & Tea at the corner of University Drive and Santa Cruz Avenue in Menlo Park, but money did not change hands. The refreshments were free, following a devastating fire yesterday, but while the empty tables and chairs inside beckoned, you had to find a seat outside.Photos here.. . . As to when the building comes back on line for regular use, it depends largely on when the owner obtains building permits to do the necessary repairs and how quickly the repairs are done...
... It's possible that Peet's could be up and running before the other activities, he said, because the water damage was slight compared with what happened to the boutique next door.
