Pamper your piggies at Starbucks

What do you suppose Starbucks employees do on their coffee breaks? Drink more coffee? Wrong!

Just to make the rest of us feel bad about our jobs, probably, Seattle-based nail salon butter LONDON will open a location on the third floor of Starbucks headquarters later this fall. How very Google of them! The nail chain approached Starbucks after learning that the company offers in-house barber services.

Then he got a phone call," said bar manager James MacWilliams. "Twenty minutes later, the ice cube was still there. We were kind of shocked." He went on to say, "Then Bianca Jagger rode in on a white horse, and I just about fell out of my chair!" OK, I made up that last part. R.I.P., Studio 54! ...
