Audio flux warning, sorry guys.

A Starbucks in Buenos Aires, Argentina was mining Monero (XMR) on customer’s devices without their permission. Twitter user Noah Dinkin noticed that a Starbucks location in Buenos Aires was utilizing their WiFi captive sign-in portal to force a 10-second delay when users first connected to the wifi in order to mine Monero. The user originally assumed that the Starbucks WiFi was attempting to mine Bitcoin, but it was in fact mining Monero. XMR is currently trading at $286.27 according to the Block Explorer Monero Price Index.
