What did you expect the local store manager was going to be able to say or do?

Get me a policy or some sort of response in writing from their corporate overlords.

Edit: just got an update. Here's what he said:

>So sorry for never responding! We are not using the cameras on the POS card readers. You will see when it asks you to swipe the card that it has an eye crossed out to signify that it is not actively using the camera to look at the customer.

Sounds like someone at Starbucks saw your HN comment and ran a search for your email to ping the relevant manager. Impressive if not just a coincidence.
