Don’t share your own or anyone else’s personal information, or ask others for their personal information. This includes contact info, photos/videos of people, full names, partner numbers, and Starbucks app screenshots. Don’t call out specific stores, and censor store numbers on photos of receipts and drink labels. Additionally, please censor names/usernames in screenshots. - Limits On Drink Help
Posts asking if an order is correct, or asking to troubleshoot a drink order, must show the cup sticker or state the exact order. The following questions are prohibited: - What did the barista write on my cup? - Is this light ice / the correct amount of ice? We encourage you to contact the store first if you suspect your order is incorrect, and see [the FAQ](https://www.reddit.com/r/starbucks/wiki/faq/) for answers to the above questions.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
