Starbucks is facing allegations from a consumer protection group that it unfairly made a profit of $900 million through its app payment system.
The group claims that Starbucks uses a manipulative app design to maximize its profits through unspent consumer money.
Starbucks has disputed the allegations, stating that customers are free to spend all of their app money.
Starbucks is in hot water after a consumer protection group alleged that the coffee chain profited from its unfair app payment system to the tune of $900 million over five years.
