Isn’t the fraud?
guy has probably been drinking a lot of phlegm
Aholes like this ruin it for everybody.
Starbucks coffee sucks and they’re owned by commies!
A NATURAL born democrat!!
It was it twin. Actually, one of his 364 twins, all with different birthdays!
Dude.
Further tidbit: He wants it rung up that way so he just has to pay $3.00 for a drink that really should be around $6.50 if it was rung up correctly as an Iced Quad Venti Vanilla White Mocha with heavy cream instead of milk.
So...hold the line, ring it up correctly, and tell him it's not eligible for his scam.
Story lifted from http://kitchenette.jezebel.com/stories-of-horrible-restaurant-customers-part-1-1724487937 which has numerous such bad-customer stories.
Even aside from the obvious fraud going on, what an a**hole. If he really wants to run this scam to get a free coffee every day, then at the very least, just get a plain coffee or something else simple. Don’t be a jerk to the people behind the counter.
But I guess that’s too much to ask of the type of person who would come up with this scam in the first place...
Sounds to me like a disgruntled former employee, who knows exactly how to twist the knife and make the beta males at Starbucks squirm the most.
I dislike Starbucks on all levels, so it is hard for me to sympathize with them.
The guy running the scam is a jerk, and I don’t have any enthusiasm for him. I detest people like him.
One might say he is gaming the system, and it is fair. I say he isn’t, an lied to get his free stuff.
I could see someone asking me: “But rlmorel, you believe taxpayers can and should enthusiastically exploit loop-holes in the tax code to avoid paying taxes, but you dislike this guy getting a free cup of coffee by gaming a loophole in the Starbucks system? Aren’t you being hypocritical?”
I would answer no, because I don’t believe in lying to get through a loophole in anything. If you have to lie, it is dishonesty right off the bat. If you have to lie to access a loophole, then it isn’t a loophole, it is deception and deceit.
As much as I detest Starbucks, I despise this grifter. I hate people like him.
All they have to do is ask for his driver licence and check his birthday.
I just saved them $2366.
You’re welcome.
I have no sympathy for Starbucks or anyone who pays $7 for coffee.
I’m guessing this is a made-up story. It makes the attempt to sound authentic by adding in bits like the first name of the barista, but no actual verifiable info.
They let him do this 365 times?? No wonder those “baristas” can’t get a job with their PhDs.
Does he get hi secret service detail anything?
Hillary voter. Probably registered in multiple precincts.
Free? ...how much does 365 Starbucks gift cards cost?
How much did he pay for each gift card? Now multiply that number by 365 and that's the minimum he spends at Starbucks each year. On Starbuck's website, I couldn't find a gift card for less than $10. So this guy is potentially spending $3650/yr at Starbucks. Sounds to me like he is a valued customer no matter what complicated drink he is trying to "scam" the company out of.
If gift cards are free, then clearly I am wrong.
