As much as I love drinking Starbucks, I have to agree with the above on what’s happening here. This is not good. The giant corporate takeover of cool and unique coffee shops, often with better product. But an unstoppable corporate giant it is.

As though Starbucks hasn’t yet sufficiently bastardized the coffee market in so many cities, its a real kick in the pants to see them buy out of the most progressive and core coffee machine manufacturers in the industry. The Clover helped elevate the independent fair trade shop I work at to a level where we were actually diversifying *gasp* the coffee market. Good luck to all the independent shops looking to gain a Clover edge from here on in. Score one for the big guys.

That’s a pretty sweet deak, if they get WiFi here…

The normal Starbucks card, not the credit card.

Is it just the use of a Starbucks card, or the credit card?

I use my Starbucks card every day. I spend at least $2 every day. But – I don’t customize syrups or milk, I don’t buy coffee beans, and I rarely stay long enough to have a refill…so until the Wi-Fi comes to Canada, this reward program does nothing for me.

Wow, I’m really excited to get free Wi-fi! I hardly visit Starbucks with my laptop, but the rewards for the Starbucks credit card sound pretty good to me.
