00:00 A new law was passed by a coffee house chain that limits the number of orders that can be used by PWD and Senior Citizen Card.
00:10 The coffee house explained in my report.
00:13 The new police of Starbucks Philippines was bitter to the taste of netizens.
00:22 Since yesterday, the use of PWD, Senior Citizen Card and other government card was limited to one drink and one meal per visitor.
00:32 It was complained to the National Council on Disability Affairs.
00:36 The council said that it is not in accordance with the law.
00:39 The next order should still be discounted as long as PWD or Senior Citizen will eat or drink it.
00:47 We will write a report for them to correct the wrong implementation of the law.
00:54 It is really disheartening.
00:57 PWD is a big problem for us.
01:00 For example, if you are broke and you are out of money, you can eat properly because of the discount.

01:30 Starbucks Philippines said that they are guaranteeing that they will give government discount on all food and drinks that senior citizens, PWD and other individuals should receive.
01:43 They are asking for a correction on the mistake that happened.

01:54 I've got a customer where as a requirement, he's a pilot, he's supposed to have good vision and yet he has a PWD card for visual impairment.
02:03 Very common where 8 people in the table, 10 people in the table, all of them have PWD card.
02:10 Now, from father to mother, son, daughter, grandmother, baby who is a toddler.
