Californian Starbucks Accepts Bitcoin Tips
Bitcoin Tips @ Starbucks in Torrance #bitcoin pic.twitter.com/alGm59C58a. - Bit (@BitVenice) January 7, 2014. Here's an interesting tweet I stumbled upon. Seems that there's a Starbucks in Torrance, California that accepts Bitcoin tips. Whether or not the store accepts Bitcoin for the actual purchase is unknown, but it's unlikely since that would probably have to be approved by Starbucks' corporate headquarters. Regardless, it's pretty cool, and it's great to see more places accepting Bitcoin, especially such well-known places like Starbucks.
