Wake up and smell the coffee!

Starbucks 'used toilet water' to brew coffee

Which ex-Cathay CEO is associated with this chain, not to mention the company serving the swill which passes as 'food' in Hello Kitty City?

It would not be very 'PC' to disclose the answer.

Filtered Water!

Would you like " One lump or two " with your coffee Sir ?

Surely Starbucks is taking the piss in regard to this matter!

Someone's taking the piss but we do live in interesting times.


"G'day mate, Foster's helpline...What's the problem cobber?"

"I'm in Darwin with my sheila and she's been stung on the minge by a wasp,
and now her pussy has completely closed up."

"Bummer dude!"

" Thanks mate, I hadn't thought of that, Bye."

The sheep will still line up for their latte. There will be no consequences for them. It just demonstrates what they really think of their customers. Stndy for this to happen more and more.

What a miserable lot you all are. Read the apology on their website, sometimes people do make mistakes, and then the.....drum roll please...the world moves on. It is a lot more than the CX crowd would do.
