Ah! Way to eliminate cash tips for the baristas.
The IRS must be pleased with them.
With the amount of new IRS agents, I feel like your comment has the most plausibility.
Servers and others who get tips always underreport for tax reasons, and we know Biden is hungry for Ukraine money
Won't accept legal tender? Good thing there is competition in my neighborhood.
Good thing there's competition right in my kitchen.
Just in time for the (((central bank crypto))).
Just leave the borders open and get replaced peacefully ok guys?
Have ALL the fixins' to make drip filter coffee from Black Rifle Coffee Company...Starbucks can go suck a brick through the front door...JUST SAYIN'!!!!!!
Really helps clarify their need to remove small business or ‘options’.
coffee is the easiest thing to brew
Don’t some states have a law against businesses refusing cash? I wonder where this store is.
I hope no one buys their crummy coffee.
They’re addicted to sugar. I think the sugar makes people more emotional and less rational. Perfectly primed for brainwashing
Part of it is probably also the caffeine addiction on top of it.
You have them addicted to everything in there, caffeine, the sugar, the fact that a lot of the drinks on there are a thousand calories.
Our body easily gets addicted to high calorie foods, because of a time when food was scarce.
I think it really is just the fact that they are high sugar calorie bombs, that give people a boost of energy, so their body thinks it's a good thing, when it's really killing all of them.
That's why that salted caramel flavor became so popular out of the blue.
The crack is media…..they’re always showing a pretty girl grabbing a cup of coffee before work or an afternoon pick me up etc in movies, sitcoms, YouTube influencers. Monkey see monkey do. Now of course there’s addictive elements in coffee too. The aroma is intoxicating (not starbucks but a cup of real good coffee)
I have to admit their coffee aint bad but it costs to much and the people that go there are wack jobs. I'M OUT
It's too dark of a roast for my taste.
Haven't had a Starbucks in years. Used to go there with co-workers, even though it wasn't worth the price for mediocre coffee. Their "open for homeless bums and drug addicts" potty policy and other woke $hit was the definite death knell for me.
May your accountants soon declare you are absolutely cashless.
I own a small coffeeshop and we have full days where we don't touch the cash in the register except to make change for people wanting to park. But, that cash will always be there because there is always a circumstance where someone may not have a credit card or debit card or they only want to spend cash. Going card only is silly.
I only use a card for cash back rewards. Most vendors do not offer a discount for cash. I don’t know what percentage you have to pay for using their cc services but at least I get a small portion of that back.
There are a few stores in my area that offer a discount for paying in cash because they pass the savings on. I shop there when possible and pay cash.
I also carry cash for tips. Let the server decide to claim it.
Let them eat Bugs!
No.
There are a lot of places doing this in very nice areas.
They tried it during covid because of a “change shortage” and it failed.
Round 2
Depends on the place. We would have an armored truck come pick it up at the walgreens where I lived. He took it straight from the safe.
Get woke, go broke.
This cashless idea will go down as successful as their "toilets for everyone". Most people who buy there (gender study students, purple hair lesbs and soyboys) have absolutely no taste, their coffee is mostly sugar served in buckets, awful.
Not sure which particular locations this is limited to, but I found this tweet from a U.K. Twitter account. Let's hope this isn't infecting the U.S. and other countries, too.

Never been to Starbucks and don't intend to change that.
I can't wait to never go there again
Stop paying big bucks to Starbucks.
While not needing cash does have some positives, like the convenience of smaller wallets (or no wallets at all) and less work for businesses to keep cash secure, make bank deposits, added accounting etc, there are certainly some negatives, like digital tracking and of course MERCHANT FEES, the added costs of which are passed along to the consumer... banks profit, as usual...
You say 'like digital tracking' kind of off-hand. Digital tracking fed into AI will quickly be able to read your mind, discover patterns you didn't even realize you had, and then manipulate your environment to control your decisions. It will do all of this without you even noticing. Big tech and big finance have big plans; we need to thwart every advance they make or we'll all descend further into slavery.
Your concern is well meaning, but the reality is that society has been in a 95% digital financial world for nearly two decades. When's the last time you touched a physical paycheck, let alone cash, let alone fiat? Decades. It's all just digital accounting notes. Even cash has digital record to an extent due to its serial code. There's no stopping what already exists. Only hope is to better improve your abilities to identify when there are attempts to manipulate you, and refuse to be controlled.
Personally, the data I provide them is irrelevant by design and therefore useless, I use cash frequently. I take your point that most haven't been protective of their spending data; but I would also caution that for those two decades, there hasn't been the capability for the data gathering, data collation, and AI analysis that is currently being weaponized against us. They are absolutely ready to do all of this now. And no, you cannot identify the manipulation they propose to employ; it will all be based (and customized for you) on the subconscious workings of your mind that they have extrapolated from your data - complex patterns and responses you never knew you were making. (ie: you hear a certain song on Tuesday afternoon and are 65% more likely to buy ice cream on that Friday. If your Thursday night show includes a certain unrelated keyphrase, you are 72% more likely to buy the ice cream from Store B instead of Store A.)
I haven't had Starbucks in nearly two years. I either make my own coffee at home, or we stop at a local shop sometimes on the weekends. We've had several local cafes open over the last year or two, and all of them are better than anything I ever got at Starbucks, plus the people who work at them are nicer and don't wear their pronouns or make political statements.
