Not sure if you've experienced it or not over about the past 30 days... But hitting the drive-thru at a Midland Starbucks can be hit or miss, if you're an early riser and early to work like we are. Typically-one of us from the morning show makes the coffee run on the way into the stations just after 5 am. Lately, we've been running into the locations being closed when we get there with lights off, empty parking lots, and a sandwich board sign in the drive-thru lane saying the store is closed and sorry for the inconvenience. So I got curious and decided to investigate.
