LebaneseDude 6,146 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 The Associated Press reports: A battle is brewing at Starbucks over how much ice the coffee chain uses in its drinks. A Chicago woman is suing the chain for $5 million, claiming Starbucks overfills cold drinks with ice. The federal lawsuit was filed on behalf of Stacy Pincus, who claims the company is misleading customers. The lawsuit alleges an iced drink advertised at 24 ounces contains only about 14 ounces of fluid. Starbucks spokesperson Jaime Riley said Monday that the company considers the lawsuit to be without merit. Riley says customers understand that ice is part of an iced beverage, noting that Starbucks remakes beverages if customers aren’t satisfied. The lawsuit seeks class-action status, which could allow it to cover customers for the last decade. Among other things, the lawsuit seeks damages, restitution and attorneys’ fees. ---- Maybe order the drink without ice or explicitly say how much you want? Edited just now by LebaneseDude.

Eh I'm certain other countries have had lawsuits for more frivolous things. Don't feel so bad. Still, 5 million dollars in damages? American lawsuits are always so extra Edited just now by LebaneseDude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALGAYDO 35,460 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I always ask for "no ice" or "light on ice" when I order any drink from any establishment cause I hate when they think it's acceptable to give you a cup of like half ice and half actual beverage but to actually sue them, like...

LOL I always order the smallest size without ice. That's more than enough and is probably the healthiest choice. Edited just now by LebaneseDude.
