“Let’s be real. Lattes aren’t ‘essential’,” Rossann Williams, president of U.S. company-operated and Canada businesses, said in a letter. “But in times of crisis, the government asks convenient food and beverage outlets to remain open when possible for pickup, Drive Thru, or delivery.” Starbucks, which owns almost all U.S. stores, said its licensed partners would make independent decisions about whether to close their stores, but said it would pay all store partners for the next 30 days, regardless of that decision.

As the virus spreads at a rapid pace across the United States, cafe and restaurant operators have shut their doors or limited services to delivery and take-away.

Sorry to those coffee lovers but take the alternatives, the three in one and self brew at home and watch your favourite Netflix.

Nope. Not waiting in the drive through line. Let me know when you’re brave enough to serve my mobile order in person. If I have to go to work, you have to go to work.
