Now this was a clever idea…
A smart chap who goes by the name ‘Mr X’ has figured out how to get a free coffee every day by registering 365 Starbucks cards to different birthdays.
Mr X’s barista, Brad Halsey, turned to the internet to vent his frustration at the scammer, and wrote an email to Kitchenette for the ‘Horrible Customer Review’ section.
“Even though I know exactly how he ‘beat the system’, he pretends that his Starbucks app is just malfunctioning and it magically gives him the same free birthday drink every day,” said Halsey.
While it might be ingenious to trick the app into thinking every day is your birthday, it’s no wonder the staff are pretty p*ssed off.
