evidence: AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. Starbucks is not going cashless at all of its U.K. stores, but individual franchises can choose not to accept cash, according to a statement posted on the company’s U.K. Twitter account. THE FACTS: Claims that all Starbucks locations in the U.K. are going cashless spread on social media early this week after multiple signs from at least one of the chain’s stores were photographed and shared online. "We’re going cashless," one sign states. "From 1st October 2022 we will only be accepting card, contactless & Starbucks Rewards payments." Another simply describes the store’s accepted payment methods. [...] Another claimed, "Starbucks in the UK going cashless! Are the US & Canada next? #cashlesssociety."
