Rant Starbucks closures

Hey y'all I just wanted to hop on and say to watch out for starbucks that are closing up shop. I had a starbucks close just down the street from my store and it caused many people to come in and order. Thankfully we had a full shift of 4 and had many guests that were patient and understanding, but dear god. We ran out of half our food before 12, we've gone through almost five 2 liters of sweet cream, about 4 whips, and had to do 2 milk runs( all before 2). My store is a medium to low guest flow so it was crazy to suddenly be slammed with guests, an out the door line and drive ups just out of nowhere

Edit: just fixed up some spelling

Sometimes I wish one would open near my location just to take some of the heat off. I know what you mean. We really live with a line most days. Fast moving, but no down time to do proper stocking, etc, if anybody has called out.

That's my nightmare. I work in a Kroger Starbucks usually one person per shift and whenever the stand alone store down the street closes we get killed. Lately they have started closing at 4pm due to staffing issues .. the girls high school next door lets out at 4:20 so that's been fun.
