20 people working at each store roughly?

How many actual full time jobs is that? Not knocking that it sucks that anyone loses a job, but if even 15 people work at a Starbucks, how many actual man hours are involved in a typical installation?
You can complain about 100 people being fired, it's still smoke and mirrors if each of those people only work 2 hours a week for you.

That's a very valid point RA - especially considering how "PT friendly" they are as a company.

12,000 dorks with eyebrow rings, purple hair and neck tattoos all just got canned from their "barista" gigs and will have to go back to Border's to try and get their "literary" gigs back.

Montana is loosing no Starbucks, which should come as no surprise, as they are scattered rather widely about the state. It's a big state, y'know.
