In New York it appears some Starbucks baristas have had enough of the laptop brigade and have taken to covering up electrical outlets forcing laptop users to rely on their batteries. According to poster Mike Pollock over at the Starbucks Gossip site at least two Starbucks locations are covering their outlets, one at 14 West 23 Street and the other at West 39 Street and 8th Avenue.
Another poster, Can't please everyone, stated ""Covering outlets is not a company wide or even regionally accepted practice. In certain extreme circumstances, where management have exhausted other avenues of resolution, stores have covered their outlets because people do abuse the 'welcoming' nature of Starbucks."
Starbucks Corporate offices have not responded to repeated requests for a statement.
