T. AUGUSTINE, Fla. —

Some need a pick me-up in the early mornings. Many people head to Starbucks for their dose of caffeine.

However, one customer received an unexpected comment on their coffee cup label: “DIABETES HERE I COME.”

That's the message printed on a grande cup of white mocha served to a customer at the Palencia Starbucks.

A photo of the message on the cup was shared with Action News Jax on Facebook.

“That first word just automatically brought the picture of both sisters in my head, and I was taken aback,” said the Starbucks customer.

He’ll get a $50 gift card. Now if it had been a towelhead, and the cup had said “towelhead”, he would own the company.

Postscript to this story, apparently the barista and this guy had a friendly enough relationship that she thought he’d find it a funny joke.

I guess the truth hurts. Of course I would fire the person that wrote it.

I was once in a weight watches meeting and I had to listen to these fat women bitching because their doctor had written down that they were “obese.” After listening to the fattie snowflakes for five minutes, I raised my hand. I explained to them that categorically if we were in weight watchers the medical term was “morbidly obese” so their doctor was actually doing them a favor.

People need to relax.

I got some bad news you probably already know. St. Aug is absolutely FULL of libs. Flagler College being there probably doesn’t help either. If I see one more “coexist” bumper sticker when I’m down there I may throw up. lol

“apparently the barista and this guy had a friendly enough relationship”

AHA! So then the plan is, he sues, and they split the take. Or am I just paranoid that such a thing could happen.

There’s something not right with their coffee. Not only does it taste burnt, it makes my clothes smell when I leave the shop and also adds a strange odor to my pee. No other coffee does that. Gross.

What if the joke causes the customer to stop buying Starbucks products? Sales techniques are not the barista’s strong point, are they?

Actually having lived here for many years, then I can tell you that St Johns county is one of the most republican counties in FL.
We do not have any Dems in power, all are republicans. here is the break down of Dems and republicans and you can see that republicans outnumber Dems easily.

If you spent your time on a vacation or day in down town then I can see how you would think that, but most of those who visit are from out of the county. Locals hardly ever go near down town, hell everyone I know avoids it like the plague.

I used to have a map of the county and the only place where Dem ever had a majority was a little blue speck on the map right near downtown where there are around 2,000 college kids and not all are Dems and the little , small black area.
The whole county is red for republicans.

Well to be truthful fact about Starbucks employee could be:

1- will have the job you'll ever get
2 - go I'll most likely form an infection from a tattoo, piercing, partners or both
3 - you will most likely have an abortion
4 - you will be arrests or in jail
5 - you will a Sanders Bernie candidate
6 - you only drink tea.
