RUDE: Mobile Starbucks Truck Gives Away Free Coffee in Front of The Pearl Cup

In a major party foul, Starbucks’ mobile cafe promoting their new “Blonde Roast” coffee posted in front of a local coffee shop in Dallas, Texas. The coffee joint, The Pearl Cup, was infuriated, to say the least, and took to their Facebook page to post the following:

Real Classy Starbucks! Sitting outside my coffee shop giving away your coffee.. Am I threatening your large corporation that much that you are bold enough to put a mobile unit outside my shop? Have some respect!

The move sparked a fervor among local fans of the independent shop on St. Paul Street, as many rallied together to show their support. One patron, Olivia, cleverly protested by having her picture taken next to the Starbucks truck while holding a sign saying, “DAMN THE MAN” and “We <3 PC” in the corner.

According to Eater, the mobile Starbucks truck has since relocated a few hundred yards away and yesterday Pearl Cup gave away free drip coffee at their downtown location in retaliation of “big corporations.”

Way to kill everyone’s caffeine buzz, Starbucks.
