    And yet they still claimed an average of $180,000,000 a year the past 5 years that people didn’t spend.

    I’m with you this is something Starbucks probably doesn’t engineer, it’s just people being dumb.

      Does this include people that just use their Starbucks cards for frequent purchases? I always have up to $25 on my card for the one or two times a week I get something. That is just money I haven’t spent yet, and I’m fully aware that I could just use it up if I stopped going to Starbucks.

        Well… as someone who thinks he spends more money at Starbucks than is smart I’d go as far to say anyone going there is a little dumb lol
