The last time I went through the drive thru at Starbucks they handed me the little pay machine and asked for a tip. A tip in a drive thru. To hand me a hot black coffee that costs 4 dollars.

Starbucks will close hundreds of stores this month and lay off staff at its headquarters as the troubled chain continues to struggle.

The White House's new "AI Action Plan" proposes limiting federal AI funding to states that regulate the industry.
