The heat wave stretches on throughout the U.S. Well, actually here in Southern California we're actualy experiencing a respite from July's heat wave.
Starbucks announced their monthly sales figures today which weren't as good as expected. What got the blame by the company? The heat! Supposedly sales last month were off because of an unexpectedly high demand for frozen drinks such as the Starbucks Frappuccino in the morning instead of the hot espresso drinks they usually sell during their A.M. rush. The frozen drinks take longer to make, which affected how long people had to wait in line, which affected how many people were willing to wait in line. Perhaps so, or maybe it was that so many people learned how to
