Finally, you wont have to stalk the person sitting by the outlet in Starbucks to get a quick charge on your phone. The pilot program began last year in Boston and San Jose, through a partnership with Duracell Powermat. The success of the pilot led Starbucks to make this a nationwide standard.  Adam Brotman, chief digital officer at Starbucks, said, We were pleased with the customer response to the pilot tests, and were now expanding this offering nationally to provide our customers a quality and reliable experience. The first stores to get the new charging system will be in San Francisco and New York, then other metropolitan areas will be added in 2015.
