As someone that goes to Starbucks I noticed it a while ago BUT YOU CAN PAY WITH CASH AND THE REMAINING AMOUNT ON THE APP.

Green mountain coffee u say?I like Starbucks. I don't go often. Maybe a handful of times a year.
But there have been times where Green Mountain Coffee at the gas station hit just as good as any Starbucks latte I've ever had.
Let me make a mental note to keep an eye out for that.Do they make coffee pods by any chance? The brand sounds familiar. Let me do my googles right quick.

is it that Hercules "Hercnet" card?The company that runs the laundry in my building does the same shyt. I only need to 50 cents to do a load, but the app says the lowest I can add is $10

Trying to reason with people who go daily that even if they bought the branded coffee,creamer etc. and a decent coffee maker it's still cheaper.... is a battle nobody can win.

Starbucks is gross, first off. Probably the worst mass market coffee available, and their other drinks are just diabetes lattes.
But this complaint is kinda light in my opinion. The solution I can think of would be that Starbucks would have to honor gift cards in perpetuum, which has accounting issues, or refund the money at the end of cycles which is definitely not gonna happen.
And brehs know I am pro consumer, I just don't know if this is it.

They literally make coffee makers that will brew on a schedule, and even if you're drinking a latte/blended drink....all that shyt is available in home and takes less time to prepare than the time it takes you to sit in a drive thru/line and wait for.
Starbucks drinks exist in this realm of inefficient convenience luxury that many services simply just cannot exist in.

The worst part to me is that they’ve marketed sugar loaded milkshakes with whipped creamy and caramel on top as coffee. Let alone the fact that these fools spend 15% of their discretionary income there

Fast food(yeah starbucks falls in that lane) is about addiction. If you pay attention some folks treat this shyt like addicts going after the rock. The businesses know that. This article will actually boost sales watch.
And that supposed Starbucks boycott? Yeah, right.
You def broke
Off all people to accuse off being broke on this forum, you accuse him
THIS!!! It's not that hard to have a zero balance
I added so many Starbucks gift cards I got for Christmas to my app, and trust me I'll spend every single dime
