&gt;&quot;Starbucks should be grateful this bug was found by somebody who worked with it to fix the problem,&quot; he added.<p>This sums up the entire scenario. If he wanted to (although he&#x27;d probably be caught) he could have added $1000&#x27;s of dollars to gift cards, purchased coffee, and resold it for a cheaper rate. Or just used it for infinite free coffee.<p>He would have solved The Programmer&#x27;s Dilemna.. Dilemma? That looks wrong....wait...isn&#x27;t it dilemna? The Mandela Effect strikes me again.... <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dilemna.info&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dilemna.info&#x2F;</a><p>Well there went the rest of my day. Back to questioning my existence and multi-dimensional theory.
