The new supervisor thought his idea was innocent enough. He wanted the baristas to write the names of customers on their cups to speed up lines and ease confusion, just like other Starbucks do around the world.
But these aren’t just any customers. They are regulars at the CIA Starbucks.
“They could use the alias ‘Polly-O string cheese’ for all I care,” said a food services supervisor at the Central Intelligence Agency, asking that his identity remain unpublished for security reasons. “But giving any name at all was making people — you know, the undercover agents — feel very uncomfortable. It just didn’t work for this location.”
This purveyor of skinny lattes and double cappuccinos is deep inside the agency’s forested Langley, Va., compound.
Welcome to the “Stealthy Starbucks,” as a few officers affectionately call it.
Or “Store Number 1,” as the receipts cryptically say.
The baristas go through rigorous interviews and background checks and need to be escorted by agency “minders” to leave their work area. There are no frequent-customer award cards, because officials fear the data stored on the cards could be mined by marketers and fall into the wrong hands, outing secret agents.

Uhm. There’s a problem when our highest level of national security and intelligence gathering has a trendy faggy starbucks in the building.
From what I understand the CIA has two cafeterias, North and South, and the South is considered “open storage”.
Mark Levin loves Starbucks.
Maybe it’s because the CIA director is a Muslim. Muzzies drink lots of coffee because alcohol is forbidden them (in the ME, coffee is known as “Arab wine”).
Ever notice when there’s an ME or Paki riot of thousands of Muslim males (with never a female in sight), just how jacked up & frenzied they appear? It’s not just Islamic fanaticism, it’s gallons of caffeine blowing a collective gasket.
Never been in a Starbucks, never will be. A cup of plain ol’ joe gets my day started, thank you.
It’s because muslims chew khat all day long which is an amphetamine.
The identity security of people who work there is important and the author of this article just gave away a nice little trash can hunt for bad guys.

If they’re doing nothing wrong they have nothing to fear. At least that’s what we’re told.
Jeez just swing by Dinky Donuts on the way to the office.
Wild Bill Donovan is turning over in his grave.
Thank God they haven't discovered Dark's weaponized coffee recipe!
Your credit card company, AT&T, facebook, and those who pay to snoop such datastreams all know you were there.
Time for everyone to vacate Starbucks. I only go in to buy a good canister for my coffee. I no longer frequent their premises otherwise.
Most days I’m proud of FR.
Today I read through comments on this story and see a simple and kind of funny quirky story about Starbucks at the CIA... and the comments degenerate to blaming Islam and homosexuals.
And all I can do is shake my head in disbelief.
Really people?
It's the zeitgeist.
People are angry with what they see in the world.
Support mohammetan sodomy rights today.

I dunno.
It might actually improve them some.
