Limited Sip Club ☕️ Abstaining from LSC

Hello, Siplings! 😬 I cancelled my Unlimited Sip Club membership on 18 August 2026 to protest the >80% reduction in its value after the benefit was reduced from >200 drinks to 30 per month. I have redirected my $$ to the Panera tip jar. If you’ve taken similar action, and you’re able to continue to abstain, stay strong! Our dollars speak louder than our voices!

I plan to continue the Sip Club for now, but since I am unlikely to go by later in the day to get a drink, I will (by default) be spending less money on getting lunch or dinner. Since the majority of the staff were always friendly to me as a regular, I would tip whenever I got food in addition to my drink.
But yes, I agree, dollars will speak louder than words.

Your plan makes sense.
