The only Starbucks in my town is at the central train station. Almost no one

I happened to be at a Starbucks today, and the registers had just stopped
working even though they were still turned on. I got a free coffee. The barista
was on the phone with their technical help and said the network system had
somehow gone down. Saved me a small bit of cash. They put a sign on the store
that they could serve no more.
