Is This a Starbucks “Hack” For Kids

Is this money-saving hack unethical or just brilliant?

Is this money-saving hack unethical or just brilliant? Instead of paying $3 to buy your kid a cake pop or some other dessert at Starbucks, ask for a free “pup cup”. It’s not on their menu, but they’ll give you a cup of whipped cream if you say it’s for your dog.

The idea has been making the rounds after an Instagram mom told people to do it. Today.com polled thousands of readers to see if it’s an acceptable hack or not. Some say it’s “taking advantage,” but most think it’s okay and according to a statement on it from Starbucks, they’re right. You don’t even need to lie.
