False claims are circulating on social media claiming that Starbucks is going “cashless.”
Is Starbucks going cashless? No, that’s not true.
The hashtag #BoycottStarbucks is trending on Twitter at the time of writing, while social media influencers share baseless reports of the coffee chain rejecting cash.
The company confirmed in a social media post that it is not going cashless. “Starbucks has no plans to go cashless across our UK stores,” the company stated on Twitter.
Toronto 99 contacted Starbucks’ media department for clarification, but did not receive an immediate response.
