As if the red cup thing last Christmas wasn't enough, a Florida man received more than he bargained for after ordering a coffee at a Starbucks in St. Augustine, and he is not happy. It wasn't what was inside the cup that upset this Starbucks customer, it was what was written on the coffee cup label: "DIABETES HERE I COME." The customer had ordered a grande (16oz) cup of white mocha, which has 470 calories when it's made with 2-percent milk. A photo of the message on the cup accompanies this post. And what was written on the label hurt the customer on a personal level, for his two sisters suffer from Type 1 diabetes. "That first word just automatically brought the picture of both sisters in my head, and I was taken aback," said the Starbucks customer, who did not wish to be identified. This customer works near the coffee shop and a fellow employee picked up coffees for their staff. His cup had the unusual message, and it hit close to home. "Just the struggles they went through and all the doctor appointments they had," said the customer of his sisters. That is just mean. Sure their drinks may not be the healthiest option out there, but putting such a mean thing on the receipts is totally out of line. None of the Starbucks in New Zealand would do anything as retarded as put customers down over their poor life choices.
