I will burn Starbucks to the ground
I have spoken, at length, of my hatred of paper coffee cups. Especially when people get a coffee while sitting at a table in the establishment IN a disposable cup – when a readily available ceramic/reusable cup would have served the same purpose and spared their life when I finally become dictator and send out the Death Squads.
Anywho, my lovely girlfriend stole this poster for me from Starbucks:
NO, STARBUCKS. YOUR CUP IS NOT HELPING TO SAVE TREES. Know what would help to save the world? Not even offering disposable cups – because probably every American has at least one travel mug collecting dust in their cupboard, which they could easily use to get coffee without wasting cups, cardboard cup sleeves and plastic tops.
Or Starbucks could actually ask if you would like your coffee “for here”, and then put it in a reusable cup.
Some day I am going to open a coffee shop, and I am going to charge people without travel mugs a $5 surcharge.
And I will stay in business, because I will use that $5 surcharge to purchase cocaine and add it to the coffee.
with brilliant business models like this one, why are you still working for the man?
I’m still trying to drum up some venture capital. Investors have been wary.
To play devil’s advocate:

I dunno. Seems like they’re doing alright. Post-recycled materials and all that.
also you’re gay
You are the new Dan Zube.
Also, just food for thought. Paper is comprised of a renewable resource. Travel mugs are generally made with PET, AKA plastic. I might argue using paper cups could be less environmentally intrusive than buying plastic vessels, unless I’m mistaken and plastic is also made from a renewable resource.
One more thing, not all consumers are hipsters walking around Portsmouth in skinny jeans and a messenger bag to carry a 6 pack of PBR, vintage vinyl collection and travel mug.
PLastic travel mugs? WTF? Those fucking BLOW DONKEY DICK.
Stainless vacuum shit man. Plastic travel mugs are stupid – can’t keep shit hot, if you drop them they break, esp in the cold.
and yeah paper is renewable, so fucking what. If you are sitting there drinking your fucking coffee AT THE PLACE YOU BOUGHT IT – fucking get it for “here”
at least bluestate here pushes bringing your own mug (wicked cheaper) and pushes ceramic shit.
i blame the fucking douchebags of america. fuck you all and your wasteful shit.
fuck i need to ride my bike outside – fucking tired of being a shit box rental chauffeur.
Thoughts on Ryan Kelly’s hipster status:
Skinny jeans: Check
6 pack of PBR: Mostly a Check
Messenger Bag: Check
Single Speed: Check
Beard: Check
Gay: Check
Vinyl: No
Blue Drink: Check and makes up for the lack of vinyl
The pieces are here.
