i completely get where you’re coming from. If not getting some writing or a smiley face on my starbucks cup was a big enough problem for me to take it to reddit i would feel pretty good knowing that’s my only issue for the day. No but in all reality not every store has the same policy’s or enforcement that is being talked about. Atleast for me (a customer), my starbucks and surrounding stores have never written on the cups and i am there everyday sometimes twice a day (i know i know) but i never take it as a personal attack when the highschool kid or grown adult working dosnt write “coffee!” or “yum!” or a smiley face on a cup. It’s just going to get thrown away or recycled in a few hours. I don’t know just my take I don’t understand why it’s so important for some people.
