Starbucks Bulk Coffee Bean

Despite denying any wrongdoing, Starbucks has agreed to pay $1.7 million to settle a class-action lawsuit brought against it for allegedly tacking a hidden fee onto certain purchases of bulk coffee beans.  If you purchased less than a pound of scooped coffee beans between 2007 and 2011, you may be entitled to receive a refund.
