Who cares? Starbucks and their drinkers are pretentious snobs and/or hipsters.

Starbucks' barristas were just saving customers' health reducing their exercise time!

Because it IS city data. And sorry I spend as much money in booze as I do in overpriced coffee. Which is basically none at all. i don't waste my money in bars. I was simply replying to a comment. Just like the 10,000 other people on here.

Well this is certainly an issue that needs attention brought to it! ?

Personally I never have bought myself something at Starbucks but have bought plenty for my wife and daughters and if they felt they were not getting enough or if it was watered down because of not enough milk they should either go elsewhere or complain.

Now I do have a major issue with 7/11. When I fill up my daily Super Big Gulp of Diet Dr Pepper there is so much foam on the top I have only two choices.
1) Waste valuable time waiting for the foam to go down, fill to top again and repeat a few times
2) or leave the store and by the time the foam goes down i have a Big gulp in a Super Big Gulp cup.

Ohh the pain, the pain!

You're going to see more and more lawsuits like this after the Subway "footlong suit" and this one.

Basically, a bunch of customers will get coupons and the lawfirm(s) will get a nice fat payday from a deep pocket.

I'm not sure how I feel about this, in some cases it's quibbling, in others the business is actually trying to screw the customer like plumping up chicken weight with water.

I leave it to the courts to decide. <shrug>

The only one I feel strongly about is the occasionally whining about cold or warm gasoline costing people a few cents (or not) due to temperature and expansion. The costs of retro-fitting all pumps to adjust for that and keeping them calibrated would be far far more than just dealing with the tiny error.
