I was annoyed enough to write all of this up. I used to go regularly, and the rewards program was genuinely a good deal, and made it worth going to Starbucks. Now, even if I set aside all of the horrible things they’re doing, I wanted to show just what an absolute shit program this is, and why there is absolutely no use in trying to “gain starbucks status”.
Most local coffee shops around me have a punch card buy x coffees, get one free deal
Hmm, doesn’t sound profitable enough. Better to enshittify that program and really stick-it to the customers. Also, lets bust some unions.
