{OT} Sueing Starbucks..

Stop me if you heard this...

Some Moron is sueing Starbucks for $114M...

Did he spill Hot Coffee...NO!

Did he slip in a store...NO!

Did he get greviously injured in some way...NO!

He went to cash in a coupon for a free Iced Coffe and was told it was no
good anymore!!!!

If he gets ANY more than $0.014, OR a Free Ice Coffee, then any jury that
awards the fool damages needs to be imprisoned!!!!

Just MHO... ;)

Your starbucks cup will go up a quarter if he wins. Cream and sugar
extra. Another case for tort reform. We need this badly but if the
dimmies win in Nov you can kiss it goodby because they are mostly
lawyers and they protect each other, it's all about keeping their
standard of living.

I think they should award the fellow ten times the damages he is
claiming. Starbucks is so overpriced for the product you receive that
it's far worse than anything the liberals can claim about oil
companies. Starbucks reminds me of state lotteries. Lotteries prey on
the poor to finance themselves. Starbucks prey on the spiritually and
emotionally poor to finance themselves.

You'd better get used to it then, because the Democrats will win in
November, big time.
Oh, and if you can afford Starbucks for your slurp of coffee, there's
nothing wrong with your standard of living.
Seems to me there are more than a few Republican lawyers who delight in
suing, not for any reason beyond raking in some more megabucks for
themselves.

There are a lot of things you don't know about me! I don't fit into
any particular category. I'm a completely open-minded individual
unencumbered by any political idealism.

I'm not talking about MY standard of living, mine is well below lawyers.

You might be right about Nov. We'll wait and see.....

If the dimmies win then it will be fun because they will become the
focus of attention. America will be introduced to increased taxes, you
included, LOL. I'm too poor to pay more so I'm not worried. I'll be
waiting for some bennies from the dimmies.

This is a class action lawsuit against Starbucks.

Starbuck sues people and companies all the time, this is just part of the chaos.

That's even WORSE!!!

THAT means, the PEOPLE joining the Class-Action suit will get a coupon for
a Free Coffee, and the LAWYERS will get about $10M each...

Screw that!!!

Um, what part of 'failure to honor advertised offer' did I miss?

Are you suggesting that any company that advertises an offer as 'good
through xyz date' (without limitation) should be able to cancel it
without a penalty? How would you feel if your local Toyota dealer
advertised say, free oil changes for the duration of your ownership of a
new car and then after you'd bought the car decided they didn't want to
honor the offer, and didn't offer you any compensation in return? Would
you be the moron then?

You missed the part about the coupon offer being sent out to employees to be
shared with friends and family - not to be spread indiscriminately across
the internet. Once it went beyond the intended recipients, it was out of
the control of Strabucks and the company was not only right to fail to honor
it, they had a legal obligation to the stockholders and employees to do so.
Yes, it was not a well thought out campaign - and yes, they are suffering a
public relations disaster - but for the people who were not able to collect
on something they were not entitled too - tough stuff!

Idiot. Nothing they sell is overpriced. It is priced according to
the market. Starbucks is not a cartel in control of all coffee.

Don't you tire of showing us all what a dullard you are? What a shock
you're a Bush supporter.

Many people waste a LOT of money on overpriced bullshit like specialty
coffees and bottled water.

[toyomoho]

Might point the finger at the judicial system. Yes, as you state, even when customers really get screwed, they may only get a coupon to buy more of the same product at a discount price. The lawyers get real money, not coupons. The company makes out, because many of the customers will not cash in their coupon. Everyone wins, but the customer.

I wouldn't sue them for $MMMMM dollars!

Trouble with this society...if we feel we are 'entitled' to something and
don't get it...well, I'll show THEM!!!

And, as I said, since it is a Class Action suit, the guy will get his free
coffee and the Lawyers will rake in the $MMMMM
