Many people go to Starbucks (a coffeehouse) and post their order on Instagram—as if anyone was interested. “are you even allowed to have an Instagram account if you don’t post something from Starbucks?  @ Starbucks http://instagr.am/p/O7L3acrk_r/” was posted on Twitter by John Beyer on August 29, 2012. “you can’t have an Instagram account without having a picture of your fraps #starbucks #cottoncandy” was posted on Twitter by نفيسة on June 4, 2013.
