First, there are many coffee places that are better and aren't communist sympathizers. But if you're going to go there, pay only in arse pennies.

I have no issue with a business choosing to do this. It’s stupid, yes. But so what? Don’t like it, don’t go. That’s the beauty of capitalism.


I actually kind of like it assuming they have touchless pay. They stick out the card reader, I put my phone up to it, and we're ready to roll.

They cant refuse to touch my money



Show those cashiers who is boss! They will seriously rethink their personal decisions not to touch credit cards.

I’m sure French truck and PJs are bastions of conservatism and patriotism...

Get coffee from a small local business. Stop supporting GloboHomo.


I tried a while back. Went out of my way for the privilege of paying more for a regular cup of coffee just to support the local guy, and they refused to serve me bc I didn’t have a mask. I had simply forgotten my mask at home, I wasn’t trying to make a statement. Pulling my shirt over my nose wasn’t good enough. The cashier is ten feet from the door so I offered to toss the cashier my credit card and wait outside. Nope.

The kicker? Only one other customer was in there, and she was sitting at a table without a mask. So I drove thru McDonald’s for a cheaper cup. Some local businesses just don’t help themselves.

They won’t rethink shite. But their power tripping crap will get punctured and they will get irritated as hell over it.

Granted, this is more a crossover with a different thread where clerks get pissy over you NOT handing them the money.

Starbucks coffee is mostly burnt garbage. Their blonde roast is pretty good, and their specialty coffee is maybe as good as local roasters but more expensive.

I've been to a few in more densely populated areas where you have to get a key code from the worker to use the bathroom. And if it is slammed with patrons, good luck.

Come to think of it, it is wild some of the locations I've been in. I remember going to one in a really seedy part of Los Angeles where they had tons of homeless/thugs using the tables and yelling at everyone.

I've found that most small businesses aren't assholes over masks. But if they are, then frick 'em. They don't want to stay in business.

Starbucks customers paying $5 for coffee is the ultimate "Go Woke, Go Broke", am I right?

I like it, it has been like that in Europe forever, your card never leaves your hand, should be like that at all establishments.

Just make your coffee at home, call yourself the wrong name and burn five bucks. Same experience
