Seriously? This Starbucks in Highland Park Village has to be the rudest coffee place. They ARE the Grinch! Always with the “tude” when you need something. Why is is so hard to have a back up container of Half and Half? Why must they act like it’s a crime when you stand there with an empty container and request it be filled?

Now Dan, I’ll have to check you as naughty for the comment. I’m leaving one less gift behind on the sleigh. Enjoy the season.

@ Parkie, there won’t be any peace in my house if I can’t go to Starbucks on Christmas morning. My family & I are grateful that I will have the opportunity to have my favorite caffeine fix from Starbucks. And @ Avid Reader, I do indeed tip quite generously.

A little too hard on the manager I think. I know the manager at Starbucks HPV, and she is kind and compassionate, I imagine she made Christmas voluntary and gave employees a choice. We do live in a coffee mad city, between the customers begging for the store to be open, and the employees who chose to work for the extra hours, I imagine she had no problem with opening the store on Christmas Day.

If the employees want to work, or the business owner wants to serve their customers, why should anyone care?

Your version of “peace” (not having stores open) may conflict with their version of “peace” (having the ability to earn some additional much needed money).

And Jewish/ Muslim/ Atheists never had the “Christ” in Christmas.

I hope everyone will stay home that day and they don’t have any business! Can’t we have ONE day of peace for the year?

Let the workers who prefer to take “Christ” out of Christmas work on Christmas. Shouldn’t bother those folks, right?

Many Starbucks that have a large Jewish customer base are open on Christmas.
