Starbucks is about to change its policy on how it does business with ‘customers’ who overstay their welcome by taking up needed space for paying customers. What started out as a good PR ploy has turned into a practical lesson in reality. If you provide free internet, they will surely come….and stay, and stay and stay.
Ah, Starbucks. It's the place to go for your Pumpkin Spice fix, but it also seems that it's the place to go to download FBI hacking tools.
Starbucks announced that it's finally launching this new delivery service to six of the biggest cities across the United States.
Starbucks has developed a tool to block porn on its WiFi, but still allow mature content. Too much or not enough? You decide!
All I can say is about fucking time!
All too many times i've gone into a coffee shop, namely Starbucks and figured I would crash out have a coffee.
9 times out of 10 i'm forced to sit in the most uncomfortable seats imaginable as all the couches etc are taken up by students scrubs who are lazing about on the couches with macbook/ipad in hand and no drinks in sight.
If it isn't that then its the next extreme of pre-pubescent kids showing each other streaming internet music videos etc from their mobile phones.
My 2 cents worth: Give a code for each coffee paid for - internet access for say 45 minutes. Anyone who takes longer than 30-45 minutes to finish a SINGLE cup of coffee should be beaten with sticks and pissed on from a great height.
Rant over.
