On February 11, 2026, Sam Linehan, a beloved figure skating coach and former Team USA skater, was shot and killed in a St. Louis Starbucks drive-thru by a 58-year-old man with a criminal record dating back to 1986 . The suspect approached her car, demanded she raise her hands, and opened fire . In Middelburg, South Africa, armed robbers targeted Toscana Takeaways almost three years to the day after a 31-year-old man was executed with a single gunshot to the head during a robbery, with both incidents involving thieves who stole the cafe's CCTV system .

A ZUS Coffee barista in Malaysia was verbally assaulted and had coffee thrown on her by an irate customer, the company placing her on paid leave to recover .
