Pissed off at Starbucks

Yesterday I purchased a cold mug/glass from Starbucks for $15.99. I was pumped at the purchase thinking finally I found a way to save some money with my Starbucks addiction. So with that said I went today to Starbucks with intention of fulfilling my need for speed (LOL).



I ordered my usual White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino w/ extra shot no whip with chocolate drizzle. The usual price of this without a Mug is $5.34. I told the girl I had a refill Mug she said ok drive thru. I get to the window the guy takes the Mug and says your total is $5.23. I said to him $5.23 I have a Mug for refill. He says yes that's the price your discount is $.10 cents and you help save the environment $.10 cents at a time. I then felt my blood pressure spike and I yelled at him replying I don't give a shit about the environment, the only reason I bought the damn Mug is to save money what hell am I suppose to do with $.10 cents. I then replied again if I was so concerned about the environment I wouldn't have wasted the damn gas to get here, our electric you use to run my debit card and make my coffee to buy the damn Coffee. The kid knew that got to me and stated, "Look at the bright side you have a cool Starbucks logo on the front". At that point I got turned heads and took the coffee, my card and drove off pissed. Moral of this rant is this, don't buy the Mugs from Starbucks it is a $15.99 screw job, if you get the Mugs you will end up having to purchase 160 Coffee's just to break even. I am still debating with myself if I will go back to Starbucks again. I contacted the Customer service to bitch. Knowing the way things go I will probably will never hear back from them. Take care all have a great day.
