    I actually think this might be a violation of the developer agreement for the play store. You should report the app and see what happens.

    The ideal solution would be to just not buy Starbucks.

    Go support your local small businesses and stop supporting large corporations that rail both their workers and their consumers

      Fuck Starbucks! Except they are absolutely overpriced there is one thing I will never forget: Back when corona hit us in Germany the government decided to lower the VAT to restaurants because everybody was staying at home and a lot of restaurants had financial problems.

      Starbucks - being the nice restaurant where everybody usually sits inside and never takes something to go - asked the same price as before, and kept the difference for profit.

      Pepperidge farm remembers! You are on my blacklist now 😄 Even if I can not destroy a huge company I will never ever pay Starbucks another cent in my life. I also convince people to get our coffees elsewhere.

    Back when Amazon Smile was a thing, I had Amazon notifications turned on (a prerequisite for earning charity donations), and had Tasker set up to automatically dismiss them so they wouldn’t bother me.

        It only existed so they would get to stop paying google for click-throughs. They ended it because enough people use the apps or go straight to the website now. Was never about charity.

      Some people like starbucks 🤷‍♂️ Those notification settings would suck regardless of what app they are on.

    In Canada a lot of us tap our cards to pay.

    Starbucks makes me take the grubby machine, which everyone else touches, in drive thru to decline tipping them.

    Like fuck off lol.

    Bonus assholery would be if tapping “See more” resulted in an increase in the number of ads delivered to the user.

    “They asked to see more promotions, sounds like an ‘opt in’ to me!” -Some dickhead in marketing, probably.
