World coffee dominators Starbucks announced this week plans to close 600 underperforming U.S. stores and cut up to 12,000 jobs, as it copes with an economic downturn and increasing competition.  Maybe they shouldn’t have opened a store on every street corner of every city in every state of every country in every continent of every planet in every solar system!
