Good morning! It's Daniel de Visé with your Daily Money.
Is the local Starbucks too noisy?
The coffee giant is working to reduce noise inside its stores through technological renovations as part of a larger effort to advance accessibility, Anthony Robledo reports.
The chain plans to add acoustic dampening baffles or foams in the ceilings for all new U.S. locations and about 1,000 renovated ones, a Starbucks spokesperson told USA TODAY.
Noise reduction will also improve order accuracy and the overall customer experience, Bloomberg reported. Employees sometimes struggle to hear orders correctly.
Here are some of the other changes coming to Starbucks.
Is Target covertly collecting face and fingerprint scans?
An Illinois woman has filed a lawsuit accusing Target of illegally collecting and storing customers' biometric data through facial recognition technology and other means without their consent.
The lawsuit, filed March 11 in a Cook County circuit court and published by local outlet Fox 32, alleges Target's surveillance systems covertly collect things like face and fingerprint scans from customers as part of its anti-theft efforts. The alleged practice violates a law the Illinois legislature passed in 2008 to protect people from exactly that sort of thing.

On a cold January night before the New Hampshire primary, Donald Trump traveled to Rochester, a city of blue-collar, culturally conservative voters who swung his way in 2016 and again in 2020.
“We will terminate every diversity, equity and inclusion program across the entire federal government,” the former president declared to a packed auditorium.
It was more than just a popular applause line at Trump rallies. Behind the scenes, a coalition of dozens of conservative groups is preparing to make Trump’s words a reality.
