Wow, that's really concerning. I can't believe that Starbucks would make such a huge mistake and double charge a million customers. That's a lot of people who could potentially be impacted by this error. I hope that they are able to quickly rectify the situation and provide refunds to those affected. This kind of mistake can really damage a company's reputation and trust with their customers. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for any updates on this story.
