You make it sound like those poor people at Starbucks have no choice but to please the masses, even at the cost of going bankrupt. I think this is just a boundary of their business model. But maybe bending over and passing a flimsy paper cup full of boiling water through a small window directly above someone’s dick is just not a great way to make money, and it was a matter of time until it was litigated away from the market. Maybe another chain can find a safe way to do this and drive starbucks out of business, you know, innovate. Coldbrew tea, better cup, a tray with a stable center of mass, fill your own cup, whatever.

Follow the god that failed…

You know, there was a trial where they reviewed the footage in detail, probably more than 3 times, and both sides got to point these things out. Are you sure he “fumbled” before the 3rd drink got spilled? Or was it the drinks instability that caused him to fumble?

Also, what stops drive-thrus from serving the kind of tea that you can brew at slightly cooler temp?

It’s up to the business to decide how and what they serve safely. If hot tea cannot be served safely, don’t serve it. Or maybe invest that goddamn extra cent into a cup that does not spill.

It’s in this comment thread

I’d say that negligence made it their fault, but u do u 😘

It feels like soon they will forget how to build aqueducts

Maybe starbucks can learn from that and invest an extra cent per cup to make safer cups? Or decrease water temperature? And I hope wronged customers everywhere will learn from that not to make shadybsettlements like the McDonalds case!

Finally, someone standing up for the big business to defend them from exploitation and fight for their right to disfigure our penises!

look at the footage. Chrits, 100% Starbucks fuckup

I know I’m supposed to understand that China is horrible, and the young US dick-tatorship is still nothing compared to Chinese high-tech totalitarian dystopia… but somehow, seeing USA, a supposed former friend and ally, turn into a ruthless, unprincipled traitor, aligning itself with Russia… With Russia, of all states! And spitting in the face of the hero of our times…

We know Russians here in Poland. We know how their army works, we know their mentality. When Ukraine reported war crimes, we believed them. Seeing US backstab Ukraine like that… It’s just too much. I think the American brand is dead for us.

Amazing. It is like they want people to hate America as much as possible before America starts confronting China.
