Morphine Prince 109,998 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 A judge in California dismissed a case that accused the coffee chain of under-filling its iced drinks, saying the plaintiff had "not alleged any viable claims" against the company. "If children have figured out that including ice in a cold beverage decreases the amount of liquid they will receive, the Court has no difficulty concluding that a reasonable consumer would not be deceived into thinking that when they order an iced tea, that the drink they receive will include both ice and tea and that for a given size cup, some portion of the drink will be ice rather than whatever liquid beverage the consumer ordered," wrote Percy Anderson, the U.S. District Judge presiding over the case in his dismissal of the lawsuit last Friday. In addition, Anderson noted that the company's signage just lists the size of the cups in ounces, but does not say how much liquid will be in the cup. "The cups Starbucks uses for its cold drinks... are clear, and therefore make it easy to see that the drink consists of a combination of liquid and ice," Anderson wrote. A Starbucks spokeswoman told CNBC, "We are pleased with the court's decision and the judge's comments on the matter."

PrettiestStar 414 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I work at Starbucks and the amount of ice is we have to put in the drinks is huge, but you can always order your drink with light ice or "just 5-6 ice cubes" and you won't be charged extra. plus for the teas and refreshas most of the baristas put a tall scoop of ice in the shaker for any size of cups simply because there is a lot of liquid left and it has to be trown away (because the ice falls easier from the shaker to the cup than the liquid) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
