“Article never clearly explains what “this” is. Stupid writing.”
The article was written and then the author had to figure out how to make you click on it. It’s similar to the issue of using an app but not going through with it. The two technologies are not compatible. The writer wrote an article suitable for a print magazine, but then had to convert it to cyberspace. The Starbucks app is way more efficient than their brick-and-mortar store can handle. Everybody wants me to download their app. The problem is those apps generate a potential entry point for malware and it’s obvious they can’t all be suitably protected as they are mostly rush not-ready-for-prime-time applications with horrible bugs.
Agree. Q codes and apps are not allowed entry into my phone.
And we’’re enjoying the hell out of homemade cappucinos & lattes.
In 20 years I’ve spent under $20 at Starbucks, only because it was a convenient business meeting place. Mrs. spends an X-mas gift card there for some iced specialties. I’ve never understood their phenomenon, probably because I understand thrift and hate wasting $.
