>"Starbucks should be grateful this bug was found by somebody who worked with it to fix the problem," he added.

This sums up the entire scenario. If he wanted to (although he'd probably be caught) he could have added $1000's of dollars to gift cards, purchased coffee, and resold it for a cheaper rate. Or just used it for infinite free coffee.

He would have solved The Programmer's Dilemna.. Dilemma? That looks wrong....wait...isn't it dilemna? The Mandela Effect strikes me again.... http://www.dilemna.info/

Well there went the rest of my day. Back to questioning my existence and multi-dimensional theory.
