Target announced on August 9 that customers can now add Starbucks items to their Drive-Up and Delivery orders, adding even more convenience to the Target experience. Coffee and snacks dropped off right to your door? We're truly living in the future. The option, as the news insinuates, is only applicable to Target stores *with* Starbucks cafés, and not every store has the feature yet. But, according to the Target website, they’re rolling it out to be fully installed by early October of 2023.
How To Order Starbucks With Target Drive-Up
To take advantage of the process that energizes and eases your Target time, you’ll need to place a Drive-Up order through the Target app. Once you let the store know you’re on your way, the app will prompt you to order from Starbucks, if you please. The full menu will be open for Drive-Up ordering, which means your lunchtime errands turn from two stops into one. Pretty cool, right? Once you arrive, everything (your Drive-Up goods, but more importantly, your Starbucks treats) will be promptly delivered to your car outside of the store.

More About Starbucks + Target Drive-Up
While the news is joyous to some, a few Target workers have come forward on social media about the new Drive-Up feature putting more stress on their already struggling workload. The pushback, reported by Daily Dot, highlights that the extraordinary convenience could push customers to become "lazier and more rude when something doesn’t go their way." There could be even more chaos on the worker front, as many grocery stores and Starbucks cafés are detrimentally understaffed.
