In the hotel industry, giving out combo or concession deals for upcoming meals is a standard practice. A customer's experience at Starbucks, the well-known coffee chain, has recently gained a lot of attention on social media. A 2006 coupon was successfully redeemed by a customer recently. Online users became aware of this incident when a Starbucks employee shared a picture of a coupon that was ten years old on Reddit.
