Starbucks Cup With ‘Diabetes Here I Come’ Leaves Customer Steamed
Yeah, Starbucks drinks are ridiculously full of sugar. That doesn’t mean you’re supposed to point it out to the customer. A Starbucks patron allegedly received a message on his coffee order that deeply offended him.
According to Action News Jax, a customer from a St. Augustine, Fla., Starbucks got his coffee order and was shocked to see “DIABETES HERE I COME” displayed on the label.
The @Starbucks customer wrote a note on the cup that reads, “2 of my sisters are diabetic, so … not funny.” pic.twitter.com/iiBw9CSEhs

The customer says that he did not find it funny as his two sisters suffer from diabetes.
While Starbucks issued an apology, some are arguing that this could be nothing more than a prank created through the coffee chain’s mobile ordering app.
@KaitlynANjax @Starbucks @ActionNewsJax Nope. Nope. Nope. Customer did that. Starbucks employees are not making those labels themselves.
