Well put. People also don't seem to get that Square is not becoming Starbucks's payment processing provider.

edit/correction: This article reports that Square will become their processor, but none of Square or Starbucks's actual releases seem to mention this. Interested if anyone can actually clarify.

edit 2: Took a while, but I think I figured it out. Square actually is processing SB's payments. It's a big win for Chase Paymentech since they are the actual entity behind Square's processing and a big loss for BofA and First Data. Interesting.
