Taco Bell does the same thing.

Taking something out on a barista who is just trying to do their job is a bitch move.

Starbucks became a status symbol for some reason. People want other people to see them with a coffee cup with that symbol on it. Same as Nike, Louis Vuitton, Mercedes, etc. Somewhere it switched from just drinking a coffee to drinking a Starbucks coffee. Oooooohhhhhhhhh fancy!

Their coffee is just not good at all. Mcdonalds is much better and cheaper

Local businesses are being destroyed right now and you’re trying to stick it to the global company by paying them in coins?

Wow

I always like the “ ugh I never have any money and times are tight “ crowd in social media yet they have to get their $8 grande vanilla latte with light foam and triple shots of espresso every single day !

Take your own clorox wipe and wipe a table at one of those places sometime. You wont buy coffee there ever again.

I use the app to pay and they’ve always scanned for it.

I haven’t had coffee in over a year, so I don’t do their lattes. I do like their Earl Gray and the occasional steamer.

Their egg bites are worth it though. I need to get the mold/insert for my Instant Pot to fix them at home.

That seems like a lot of work to just annoy someone that is doing their job. Way to stick it to that employee!

Well at least they can’t copy your card number.

I guess it's convenient if you live in the upper midwest, upstate New York, or Canada.

Their coffee sucks and their donuts are perpetually stale. Krispy Kreme is better at donuts. McDonalds is better at coffee.

If you happen to be in an area with one, try the coffee at Pret A Manger. It's cheaper than Starbucks and at a little better.

If you are in south Louisiana, there are even more options like PJ's, Coffee Call (BR), CC's, etc.

They put the scanner through the window. I asked what if you pay with cash? She said they go and wash their hands right after.

I think Im going to pay in coins from now on.

Those are legit. But hard as hell to find after the release date.

I'm sad they don't have the gingerbread loaf anymore though. That shite was delicious too.

They've done a good job protecting their brand through a massive expansion. But I never thought of it as a status symbol.
