Oh look. Yet another Starbucks coffee jerk made the news for being a smughole.
FOX 5: A Starbucks customer reported to a Florida television station that he received quite a rude message after he ordered a “Grande White Mocha.”
The label usually would print your order and name, but a barista at a St. Augustine-area location labeled his coffee with “Diabetes Here I Come.” READ MORE
Go into a snooty socialist overpriced coffee ripoff bar …
get what you deserve.
Surprised it didn’t read: “Eat Shit and Die, Dummy!”
izlamo delenda est …
Over inflated coffee at huge prices and insults as a bonus. What a way to build business.
You know, look at the name of the drink on the receipt. What does Gr Wht Mocha mean? Grande White Mocha? WTF that sure as heck sounds raaaaaaaaacist to me! In addition to the racist label, printed right there for all to see, I think the customer should sue Starbucks for serving him a drink that obviously threatens his life. I mean, c’mom, why would the Starbucks employee have written, “diabetes here I come,” unless that drink is LOADED with sugar. What if the customer actually is diabetic or pre-diabetic? And yet, the Starbucks employee served that beverage anyway. Starbucks must be held responsible for this shameful behavior, the same way the left wants to hold gun manufacturers responsible for murders. This poor Starbucks customer could have been killed (eventually) by diabetes, and Starbucks must pay for that. Boycott Starbucks! (Easy for me – I never go there anyway because who wants to pay $3 for a $.25 cup of coffee)
I make really good coffee at home.
If I want the Starbucks experience I’ll pour myself a mug, yell out my name incorrectly, light a five dollar bill on fire and scrape the ashes into the mug!
Rat Fink LOL!!
I will never understand why people buy coffee that tastes so bad that it needs sugar and flavoring to become tolerable.
Barrista is obviously not pre-med.
I drove for a pizza chain in between careers. One young man there was goofing around while taking an order and typed in Hugh Jass for the name while on the phone with the customer. He had every intention to not put the order through that way but forgot to correct it.
The customer called the store shortly after receiving their order.
The words are very close to the truth. Eating and drinking crap high in carbs will send your pancreas into overload. I hate Starbucks coffee and wouldn’t waste my time standing in line to get a cup of it – not even for free!
Stay the hell away from Starbucks so no one will assume you’re a gay liberal.
The worst part of Starbucks isn’t their coffee or baristas. It’s waiting in line with a bunch of smugholes who want to outsmug each other and get pissed when the barista outsmugs them for a cup of coffee at 10:13 AM. A pot of coffee is to be thrown down your throat before 9AM so you are ready to get on the liquor by 11:30AM.
Why aren’t people suing Starbucks for causing health issues then?
If you can sue MacDonalds for transfat why can’t Starbucks be sued for excessive amounts of sugar?
@cracker:
after all, you can’t say you’ve “been drinking all day” unless you start drinking in the morning, right?
And to think there’s a big push to pay those asshats $15/hour so they can pay for the student loans on their “comparative pantomime” degrees.
Govlawyer, in Seattle where the wages have been raised, $fourbucks is ahead of the curve.

Their product already tastes like something from a truck stop vending machine, so I doubt the customers will balk.
TO Rat Fink
They aren’t “ashes”: they’re “gently flambe-ed wafers”.

I found a $5 Starbucks card I had won years ago in some old pants. Thought I’d try their “bold” coffee, sine it *was* good back in my working days (looooooong ago). WHAT GAWD AWFUL, BURNT, BITTER COFFEE! I’ll use it up on their muffins; don’t want to donate the money to them.
You guys…..espresso tastes different from drip. So what? That’s not the point.
I’m a coffee snob and I have many choices of smaller chain and independent coffee stores to visit in the morning. My favorite is Starbucks Pikes Roast. The largest size they sell is $2.25. cheaper than most other places around me. You can hate the organization but judging by the comments few have tried their products.
Our local Starbucks, and there’s six of them, posted “No Gun” signs a while back. They stayed up about a week as business dropped off about 70%.
Uh oh! A Starbucks whistle-blower. Good for him !!
@Czar: You took a $5 gift card from FourBucks, bought one of their coffees, and still have enough left to get muffins? I need you to become my money manager NOW…!
😉
TO VietVet
Ya wanna REALLY p!§$ off a starbucks employee?
Just ask for a “small black coffee.”
No “tall, grande” whatever.
No “mochacallilattelicious” whatever.
They FREEZE for 5 secondes.
Then they translate it into starbucks-speak.
Then you STILL get a burnt, bitter 12 oz cup of coffee for $1.85 (plus tax). 😮
I would have held that cup and label up in the air, pointed it out, and laughed at the asshole barrista who created it.
“HAHAHAHA. LOOK AT THIS. WHAT AN ASSHOLE. WHERE DID YOU GO TO SCHOOL? CAN’T EVEN TYPE MY NAME IN PROPERLY!! YOU WANT A TIP? HERE’S A TIP FOR YOU, LEARN HOW TO TYPE AND SPELL PROPERLY, AND DON’T INSULT THE CUSTOMERS TO THEIR FACES.”
Brad knows what he is talking about.
@eternal cracker: “A pot of coffee is to be thrown down your throat before 9AM so you are ready to get on the liquor by 11:30AM.”
—————————————————-
It’s 11:30 some where! I’m a wine snob! 🙂
@Bad_Brad, the last time I was in a Starbucks they had just rolled out the Pikes roast and it’s what made me never go back. I can’t recall exactly, I think they knocked my usual cup out of the way to make room for the Pike.
Now I wear my Birkenstocks to Trader Joes to pick up 1-1/2 pounds of House Blend for 15 bucks, it lasts 3 weeks in my house which is twice as long as a gallon of vodka.
Also, throw away your drip maker and get a press instead.
eternal cracker p,
The only morning I have time to brew my own cup of coffee is Sunday Morning. We have one of those Kuerig coffee makers. Save your money, talk about an expensive cup of coffee.
Bad_Brad, but you have time to go out of your way to wait in line at Starbucks? If you want just one cup you could boil water in a minute in electric boiler pot (or microwave), poor in a travel press with your beans, and out the door you go, a mile down the road press out the beans and enjoy which is technically faster than Keurig as per not having time at home in the morning.
Exactly, Rat Fink – hilarious comment, BTW.
I used to drink Starbucks coffee quite often, but it got too expensive, noticed it tasted burned sometimes and McDonald’s stepped up their coffee game – it was cheaper and better.
I also save more money and get a better selection when I buy store brand (ex. Harris Teeter) whole coffee beans.
Eternal, I’m on my way to work from the gym. The Baristas know me, I’m in and out in less than 3 minutes usually. 2 minutes of that is small talk
