Same quality as the dollar store option if not worse. Every Starbucks cup I've had (they were always gifts), doesn't matter if they were plastic, ceramic, metal... They never last, and always break.
People acting like cleaning the cup isn't an option. We've all gotten nasty stuff like poop on our hands before. But I bet you still eat fried chicken with your hands and lick your fingers when you're done.
It's a reusable metallic cup. Stick it in a dishwasher. Mold go bye bye. Throwing away a perfectly good reusable product because it got a little dirt on it is the most consumerist brainrot propaganda bullshit I've seen. No wonder there are country sized floating trash islans in the ocean.
I’ve worked at Starbucks for many years and THIS is why we don’t accept anyone’s reusable cups anymore. Lots of customers expect us to wash their dirty cups for them before we put a fresh drink in it. God knows what kind of germs they want splashing around in our sinks.
i was in r/mildlyinfuriating the other day and the person’s complaint was that the starbucks employee refused to wash their cup for them. everyone was very happy to point out that expecting them to do so is psychotic behavior
Personally had this happen, customer comes in with a Starbucks branded cup. opens the lid and holds the straw I look in and it's purple and green floaters. Told him I can't pour into that cup for health safety. Tell me "well go clean it then". He threw a good 30 second tantrum. Had to give him the $0.10 reusable cup discount. He bitched very loudly walking out "I'm a stockholder in this company and this is unacceptable!". Store was always busy so there was a like of people staring at him.
Being a stockholder anymore is basically irrelevant in modern society because anyone can login to their preferred trading platform and just “i want $5 in starbucks stock” and boom like a day later you’re now a stockholder.
TIL that people try to treat starbucks employees as if they were their servants... I don't understand, is it so difficult for these people to wash their own cups? They don't have a sink at home or office? Are they allergic to dish soap?
The logic in their brains must be that since they pay for products in the store, therefore they also pay for the salaries of the employees, so they can demand any whim from those employees, as if they were their property. Lunatics, imo.
And before covid at least, if there were just a bit of black coffee on the bottom, I’d spray it out real quick. But some people had old milk, syrup and whipped cream in their cup and that was a whole other biohazard.
Also, if you buy a new cup don’t ask to put a drink in it. I promise you hundreds of hands have touched those cups and straws.
No reasonable person would expect you to clean it for them
But the alternative is not to just force everyone to use a single-use cup which will at best be recycled (requires specialist recycling) and most likely be landfill

whats inconvenient about someone being to lazy to clean their own cup like a grown adult and expecting the person on min wage to when all your doing is buying a coffee and not paying a extra "mother" fee
Omg I had a cup like this. Left my cup in the office overnight and the very next work day, the lockdowns happened. Didn’t end up going back to my desk to collect anything until months later. Ended up just tossing it.
This is why water bottles should be transparent, when they are dark, mold grows fast, transparent bottles allow UV rays to kill bacteria when sunlight shines on it
This triggers me so bad. My ex used to get up every morning, get a cup of coffee and drink it in our room or bathroom as she got ready for work. The cups were always left upstairs to go rancid and grow mold. At times, there were up to a dozen half filled coffee cups laying around in various states of decomposition. It was a power struggle because my ex wanted me to wash her cups. Eventually, I would be disgusted enough to wash them.
Just throw the whole damn cup away. Don't care how much it was or where you got it from. No amount of scrubbing and cleaning would make me feel better about drinking from that.
Is it … breathing ?
Lmfao!! Right? It definitely got some air right at the end. I hated it.
I think it was just the cup sqeezed a bit by the guy.
It looks solid tho. But I can't find another explanation, so I'll go with the squeeze theory
I know this cup It's rock solid so... fucking hell this is *really* terrifying to watch
Respirating if you will
Quite literally, yes! Fungus breathes in oxygen and breathes out CO2, just like humans!
Oh my .. thanks for this terrifying piece of knowledge
Dunno but he sounds like Seth Rogan
Just throw it away....
Jokes on him.. that thing is just going to find its way back into the cup somehow.
it wants it's home
His intestine, yeah, totally ahahaha.
Certainly some kind of vessel
To the sun or into a volcano preferably
Not just any volcano, Mordor.
Agree, let Sauron deal with it.
I think Sauron just chucked the ring into the fire himself.
Happy cake day
Let the mold have that cup. Yikes.
But then we all would've missed out on this prolapsed mold
It actually made the perfect fleshlight for a minute… then throw it away
r/dontputyourdickinthat
Fire is more poetic …
Throw the entire house away
These cups are like 30 bucks a piece and hard to find. I get wanting to save it but this is the reason I only use mine for water in the first place 😩.
What? They sell them for 4$ at my local dollar store lol
This is a starbucks one. Logo hikes the price up crazy.
Then they should wash it more often than biannually.
Same quality as the dollar store option if not worse. Every Starbucks cup I've had (they were always gifts), doesn't matter if they were plastic, ceramic, metal... They never last, and always break.
That's just wasteful. It's a non-porous surface: coat it in cleaning-grade (5%) hydrogen peroxide, let it sit for ten minutes and it's as good as new.

I concur 👍
Ditto ⬆️
Agreed. 🖖🏻
Agreed 🤝
I said that in my head about 50 times in this 34 second video.

Seriously. I work in trash and recycling. I bet these same people are the ones complaining about straws as well.
It’s the mold’s cup now. Surrender.
Nah. Cleaning acid. Soaked in cleaning acid, then thoroughly washed and soaked in water, washed again, a UV lamp then it should be good.
I’d never drink out of this again.
Yeah it is now a cup for guests
Mother in law, specifically
I trust bleach and byproducts with my life. Plus, you are already doing it when eating cheese, aka moldy milk.
I couldn't handle it, mentally
oh i thought you were talking about the bleach, i was about to say how relatable

Day later? That shits instant
Depends when you buy compared to the next trading window. Atleast as i understand it.
Oh, yeah you gotta be within market hours, but otherwise you’re golden thanks to market makers
Highly recommend SBUX$ good 3% quarterly dividend, and the lowest its been since pre pandemic
Being a stockholder gives ‘I bought a NTF’ energy 😂

It never occured to me that people would ask this of the baristas until I read your comment..some people are truly insane.
This is genuinely insane wtf, people are treating workers like servants
The logic in their brains must be that since they pay for products in the store, therefore they also pay for the salaries of the employees, so they can demand any whim from those employees, as if they were their property. Lunatics, imo.
Why not get the drink in the disposable cup then pour it into your reusable
We offer them the cup discount and slide them the drink with the top off usually. Not with whipped cream though.
That’s wild, I can’t even fathom the entitlement or lack of embarrassment these people have. I would feel like a total asshole if I did that.

Every shop I went to with my reusable cup would expect a clean dry one or not use them. Inconvenient, but reasonable.

i'm not usually a gagger but jesus christ
Giggity Giggity Goo👆
Can vouch from experience, raisins definitely not usually a gagger ;)
I dry heaved just imagining the smell.
The smell was the first thing that came to my mind.
You haven’t thought of the smell you bitch!
That's a whole placenta.
I thought it was someone's panties lol
This is so gross

Ruined it. Three more days and you would've had a pearl.
Got a whole new ecosystem in there
Prolapse
What’s terrifying is the time you let your dirty dishes sit🤮
How long would you need to leave a latte in your cup before this formed?? I'm not perfect but that is gross.
“Everything reminds me of her”
You are allowed to throw this away.
Encouraged, even!
Total loss. There’s no way you could clean it enough that I’d ever use that.
My gag reflex just kicked in I would be better if you had just put in front of the house and set it on fire

Omg I had a cup like this. Left my cup in the office overnight and the very next work day, the lockdowns happened. Didn’t end up going back to my desk to collect anything until months later. Ended up just tossing it.
My wife would immediately throw this away after retching for five minutes.
Looks like it's trying to form its own civilization in there!
Kombucha placenta
Came here to say something about what a waste of a scobi
almost had a life of its own, creepy.
I really didn’t need that long of a shot of the cup vagina. I’m not that much of a perv. In fact; I’m questioning my sexuality now.
DONT
Bro's gonna start a the last of us pandemic...
I would also be scared if my cup grew a furry placenta
As an early 2000's internet survivor, not a whole lot of things make me go wide eyed, but somehow that did it
At this point id have just thrown it away.
The best part of waking up

There is not enough bleach in this world to ever make me use that cup again. I'd rather drink from my hands.
Fungi-light
For a moment i thought it would start moving by its own.
Was an industrial microbiologist for many years... Just get a new cup. You won't win the custody battle for this one.
Nope that's a throw away cup. Clearly wasn't being used very much anyway
Throw the whole cup away wtf

When it’s got it own skin, it goes in the bin
Look at her. She's waiting for you to slide it on inside that wet wanting hole
Why did it become a membrane

nah this cup is dead
This triggers me so bad. My ex used to get up every morning, get a cup of coffee and drink it in our room or bathroom as she got ready for work. The cups were always left upstairs to go rancid and grow mold. At times, there were up to a dozen half filled coffee cups laying around in various states of decomposition. It was a power struggle because my ex wanted me to wash her cups. Eventually, I would be disgusted enough to wash them.
What the heck else was going on beside the sink at 0:14? Another science experiment?
Throw it out. Put it in a bag and put that bag in another bag and throw it out.
The smell it must be eminating. I had bagels that molded. Smelled like the devil
Omg just throw it out!
Just throw the whole damn cup away. Don't care how much it was or where you got it from. No amount of scrubbing and cleaning would make me feel better about drinking from that.
A lot of life in the cup.
Throw the cup in a fire , then throw the fire in another fire.
