I actually think this might be a violation of the developer agreement for the play store. You should report the app and see what happens.
The ideal solution would be to just not buy Starbucks.
Voting with your feet and money is one of the first thing we can do as consumers since voting as a citizen is largely a futile excerise.
Tbf voting with money also seems futile
Correct, most of our spending is going to duopolies, landlords and gas…
Not much choice there but we can still kinda do it with the discretionary spending. I am sure that will be eroded too within our life times.
I’m not usually big on boycotts since corporations are entrenched enough that they need gov’t intervention to do anything meaningful but the totality of the circumstances and the likelihood of a better local coffee shop in your area would tell me to skip the awful Starbucks setup.
If the best way to patronize them is inconvenient I would hardly call it a boycott. I’d call that basic capitalism.
That’s how you get users to turn off all notifications lol
God so many apps do this shit, like trust me Snapchat, there is only a single notification type that I want
Easy choice, “Off”
Start drinking tap water only out of spite.
Wdym tap water is the shit
Does lemmy have hydrogomies?
Apparently, yes. !hydrohomies@lemmy.ml
Go support your local small businesses and stop supporting large corporations that rail both their workers and their consumers
Fuck Starbucks! Except they are absolutely overpriced there is one thing I will never forget: Back when corona hit us in Germany the government decided to lower the VAT to restaurants because everybody was staying at home and a lot of restaurants had financial problems.
Starbucks - being the nice restaurant where everybody usually sits inside and never takes something to go - asked the same price as before, and kept the difference for profit.
Pepperidge farm remembers! You are on my blacklist now 😄 Even if I can not destroy a huge company I will never ever pay Starbucks another cent in my life. I also convince people to get our coffees elsewhere.
Back when Amazon Smile was a thing, I had Amazon notifications turned on (a prerequisite for earning charity donations), and had Tasker set up to automatically dismiss them so they wouldn’t bother me.
Huh. TIL that they got rid of Amazon smile. Ended back in February.
It only existed so they would get to stop paying google for click-throughs. They ended it because enough people use the apps or go straight to the website now. Was never about charity.
That’s so infuriating to look at. Blatant.
Yikes this is particularly nasty
Starbucks is a huge waste of money anyway, just make coffee at home
While I agree In general there are some things you should not support
10 year old meme do better next time
Shhh. Let me enjoy it.
Bonus assholery would be if tapping “See more” resulted in an increase in the number of ads delivered to the user.
“They asked to see more promotions, sounds like an ‘opt in’ to me!” -Some dickhead in marketing, probably.
In Canada a lot of us tap our cards to pay.
Starbucks makes me take the grubby machine, which everyone else touches, in drive thru to decline tipping them.
Like fuck off lol.
Why would you need a app for shitty coffee and why would you allow it to send you notifications at all?
Some people like starbucks 🤷♂️ Those notification settings would suck regardless of what app they are on.
