Default I just called starbucks

So me being the curious one I decided to give a few starbucks shops a call.. I say hello I hear you are closing today for training regarding the update ordering system.. ( I wait for a reaction) Yes we will be closing at 530 replies associate.. I ask are you training on the new system apple is setting up.. Then I get a reply of all I know its training on how to serve customers

What company closes all of their stores for training on how to serve customers??
I think the ordering system is about to come out soon for the iphone...

I can see this whole iPhone Starbucks ordering deal getting very buggy in the start. I wouldn't use it until it was perfect.

If there is something Apple-related I don't think they know and if they do they are under some strict orders not to say.

I have a Starbucks I go to EVERY SINGLE morning and I asked them about it today and their response was a not-so-stoked "we have to get trained.."

I think they would tell me something if there was something that they KNEW about. I go there every day and they make my drink before I get to the counter. My fiance went their one Saturday and ordered my drink and they asked her (totally random as they didn't know her) if it was for me...

She told me I go too often....

I work in commercial real estate, and at a number of our centers we have Starbucks as a tenant. According to their director of real estate (which for all intents and purposes is the head of most any companies retail divisions) the closing was for an updated "best practices" training relating to improving quality and efficiencies within the store operating procedures.

Does this mean its not related to Apple? No. But as a betting man I'd wager on the side of non Apple training. As a regular Starbucks customer however, I hope I'm wrong.
