CEO Howard Schultz has announced the closure, starting at 3:30
p.m. CST, to energize 135,000 employees.
Starbucks' 7,100 stores across America will participate in the
brief barista re-education.
Schultz says he wants baristas to share their passion for making
espresso, or as he says, "to pull the perfect shot, steam milk to
order and customize their favorite beverage."
Schultz says it's part of his refocusing on the coffee customer
experience.
Since the chairman returned as CEO in January he has been making
changes to revive Starbucks' growth.
