Information on working terriers, dogs, natural history, hunting, and the environment, with occasional political commentary as I see fit. This web log is associated with the Terrierman.com web site.
I wonder how long that will happen though; who pays for that electricity? In recent years gas stations (here) have taken to routinely charging for AIR to refill a tire; I can hardly imagine that electricity would be free for long.
Who's paying for the electricity? All those customers who are seeing price increases by Starbucks - who 'blames' the increase on labor costs and supply chain issues. HA! I'll stick with my local coffee shop and support local small business
Starbucks is not paying for this; it just happens to be located in front of their shop. I thought the thing was put in as a loss-leader by the mall developer (bakery, several restaurants, gourmet store, hardware store, grocery store, etc.), and perhaps a loss-leader by the charging company who is looking to expand its name (Potomac *is* where you will be seen by CNN and others), but in fact it seems the thing pays for itself as an advertising kiosk.
