If You Use Starbucks, You May Have A Problem

UPDATE: Starbucks officials say the outages impacting the registers has been fixed, according to the Associated Press.

“All Starbucks stores in the U.S. and Canada are expected to open for business as usual on Saturday,” the company said in a statement late Friday night, according to the AP. “We apologize to our customers for this inconvenience. “

Original post: Starbucks registers across the country and Canada quit working Friday evening, causing many of them to close early and others to remain open with extremely limited service.

If you’re headed to the Starbucks in Connecticut or anywhere else, Friday night, so far you’re out of luck. Starbucks said a system refresh of its register system caused the outage but the company had no estimate on when the problem would be fixed.

“We are actively working to resolve the outage,” the company said in a statement. “Our stores that have not already closed for the evening are closing early ... We apologize to our customers for any inconvenience or confusion and will update this statement once systems are back online. This outage also affects our Evolution Fresh and Teavana stores.”
