Is anyone aware of any Starbucks location that look a little barren; i.e., no CD racks, coffee racks, otherwise limitations on displays and decor, etc? Short of a published list, I understand that this may indicate a foreshadowing of things to come.

Also, 12,000 employees equals an average of 20 employees per store. Does anyone know if each store employs this many workers, or more or less? That is to ask if the proportion of workers is equal to the stores closings; will employees at remaining stores be laid off in addition?
