Starbucks has released the big list of stores it will be closing. People seem really torn up about this, and to be honest I am struggling to figure out why. I agree it is tragic and sad that there will now be thousands of displaced Stabucks employees, but I guess I’m struggling with the worth of those jobs versus the monstrosity that is that company as a whole and the good that will inevitably come out of the shedding of even a few hundred Starbucks locations.
I work for Starbucks and I’m not even going to get started on some inaccurate facts in the above post (more here). I do agree that it is the right business decision though, and that many businesses have already and continue to do this. Like the circle of life, it’s the business cycle.
