Imagine you’re a worker at the Starbucks near Green, Ohio. During the daily shift, you start to notice a particularly large amount of mobile orders are coming in. Three tall caramel macchiatos, four venti iced caramel macchiatos, and … EIGHT of those bacon and gruyere egg bites? You also notice that all of these orders are coming from one single user, instead of a different group of people as you’d expect. What’s happening?
The answer lies with one Jaxen Franks, a 4-year-old boy who was having the time of his life with his grandmother’s phone. According to MSN, Jaxen’s grandmother Virginia was taking a rest at the time, and her grandson had managed to get ahold of her phone. He navigated to the UberEats app and, perhaps feeling a bit hungry, ordered some snacks from his local Starbucks and Dunkin’. Since the idea of getting food at the click of the button likely sounds appealing to any kid, and probably with no idea the account was tied to a bank account, Jaxen went on an ordering spree, finishing off his massive Starbucks coffee order with a single blue cake pop and a generous $30 dollar tip. Fortunately, the accidental ordering spree did not to go to waste. The family managed to get through the enormous order of coffee in just under three days and, although they did have to tell young Jaxen he was in trouble, they would later admit the whole incident was a funny story.
