SEATTLE - If you bought coffee at Starbucks on Memorial Day Weekend, you may have been one of a million customers double-charged for your beverage.

Starbucks confirmed to NBC News that on Friday, May 22 and half of Saturday, May 23, up to a million customers were double-charged for their order when they used their debit or credit cards - Starbucks calling it a "settlement processing error."
