Starbucks new policy is:

"Buy something or leave"

Where they won't allow you to just hangout.

Quote BBC:

"Starbucks says it is reversing rules for its cafes in North America that allowed people to use their facilities even if they had not bought anything."

Next I predict they will stop accepting cash within the next 4-5 years. And so buying something will be a form of ID to use WiFi, in a "low-key bro" push to end anonymous internet.

And if you speak out about that, you're a tinfoil hat wacko conspiracy theorist.

That's a complete 180 for them. Seems like only yesterday they were inviting bums to loiter in their stores which is, incidentally, my primary reason for avoiding Starbucks.

funny twist

Starbucks honestly sucks anyway. Whenever I do go to a coffee shop it’s never Starbucks. Seems like there’s like 5 local options to choose from in most towns, why would anybody go to Starbucks anymore anyway?

Past few times I’ve had Starbucks, I ordered a dry cappuccino and they handed me a cup filled to the brim with some sweetened, syrupy bullshit

Stopped buying Starbucks for a while now… they don’t deserve our money!

There's much better coffee options out there get something better instead of Starbucks.

4-5 years? More like sometime in the next 3 years.

Taco Bell (probably others, too) already have signs saying the don't accept cash.

Thank god for eGifter, Coinsbee, CoinCards, Bitrefill, et al.

Their coffee is crap anyways so not a terrible loss, but I believe this policy has been enacted to counter-act the problems with meth campers and various lunatics roaming the streets that would be institutionalized in a proper society.

Hey, I am writing from a browser within your VPN cage, good job! I have some suggestion: please clarify what is "sync" at the beginning in the GUI, make it clear why the browser should be downloaded from you and, most importantly please allow the creation of a QR-code for the Lighting invoice.

good to hear, so sync is getting what plans and countries are available.

ok on lightning qr codes, will add to the list, thank you

the browser is using rules/policies to force traffic through the VPN,
