Justin the Spin Doctor (as in the same kind of Doctor as Dr. Nick)

Starbucks has a website called "My Starbucks Idea", a place for the customer base to make suggestions about how to make Starbucks better. But they don't listen. It's a front for them to appear engaged with thier clientele. Any suggestions they do take seriously aren't going to help you a whole lot; they are just good PR for the company.

One very common complaint on the site is that, despite the number of items purchased on your registered Starbucks card, you only get one star if you purchase them all in one transaction. Of course, Creative has shown you how to get around that.

Turns out that Starbucks has a mod on this forum called Justin, who replied to this common complaint.

Wow.
You have to read the "reasoning" this guy gives behind Starbucks not giving multiple stars for multiple items. It's beyond idiotic. I mean, if Starbucks wants to call this guy a spin doctor, then he's a doctor on the level of Dr. Nick.

Bye everybody!
