The problem is that even after you have completed the survey, it still doesn\u2019t let you in: it just loops back to the survey.<\/p>\n<p> Twitter user <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AbileneIke\/status\/1968654080269488160\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ike<\/a> found a workaround.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">To bypass the dreaded Starbucks App survey bug, you can hold your finger down on the app from the Home Screen and choose &#8220;order.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
