I believe it is Starbucks corporate policy, and has been for some time. If
and when one gets away with shooting in a Starbucks one is just "lucky."

Subject: [Leica] Taking Photos in Starbucks


I stopped by my local Starbucks this morning to grab a coffee and scone.
While waiting in line, I took a quick photo of the expresso operator at work
just using up a roll of film so I could process it tonight.
The line still had several people in front of me so I began looking around
for
another photo with the M6 in my hands.
Then the manager caught my attention and said 'you can't take pictures in
here'.
No problem, but is this a new Starbucks policy or is a franchise
prerogative?
I have taken photos in there before with no comment.
