Check This Link Before Making Your Morning Coffee Run

If you’re planning on starting your morning at Starbucks with a cappuccino and a yogurt parfait--hold up a second. The company’s registers, at least the payment terminals, went down nationwide on Friday.

Some shops responded by closing early, while others gave away free coffee, putting the TG in TGIF.

And Saturday morning? Check the Starbucks website to see if they’ve recovered.
