You mind if I have some of your tasty beverage to wash this down

This is a brief, but albeit important item to discuss.

While it seems innocuous enough, pouring a cup of coffee should not be that hard.

When I ask for a cup of coffee with room for cream, I don’t want only half the goddamned cup filled. That’s not room for cream, that’s room to stow immigrants coming over from Cuba.

Or even better, you get a complete 180 with only 1/16th of an inch left the top of the cup.

And the biggest purveyor of this bullshit practice is Starbucks. Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf and Peet’s don’t have a problem when I ask for room for cream.

And I don’t want to hear if I don’t like Starbucks, not to go there. As everyone knows, sometimes Starbucks is the only option. So fuck you for any pithy thoughts that I shouldn’t spend my nickel there.

Look, coffee is important and getting cheated pisses me off.

Since Starbucks is bringing back Howard Schultz, maybe he can fix this problem.
