The terms right/wrong typically only apply to actions, while good/bad apply to any events.
There is a common distinction between right and merely permissible actions. The buying of coffee is intuitively permissible. While donating the money instead of buying the coffee would be good, it’s (intuitively) not morally required, as this seems like an excessive demand. One of the main criticisms of utilitarianism is that it is an overly demanding theory. It labels actions always as wrong if their consequences are bad.
