Starbucks | The Messy Bear Cup Situation

I know I'm late to this drama with Starbucks, and I know I'm going to start off by being cringey, so "bear" with me...

Are you a famous coffee company with poor sales this year? Do you want a greedy trick to be popular again? Look no further than...

... The Starbucks Glass Bearista Cold Cup! This scheme will tell loyal customers that this bear is a Starbucks fan, just like you!

Starbucks really became the talk of the hour, but for all the wrong reasons. They didn't mention that the bear cup is a limited edition item (extremely limited, mind you), and they made it a tactic to screw over their union workers.

I don't know much about the drama with the whole bear-shaped glass cups thing, but thank goodness for Kiki Chanel for at least giving me some context about this mess. I highly recommend watching her video before reading this article. Enjoy!

Let's begin!

So, the TikTok videos tell a story. Some of them are about people waiting for Starbucks to open, only for the employees to be the first to get the bear cups. Some try to share conspiracies about how the employees get to purchase the bear cups first.

Here's my opinion: Starbucks needs to provide complementary Bearista cups to their employees, so the customers don't give them shit for being the first to get the cups.

Imagine being a grown ass adult treating a cute bear-shaped glass cup like it's the popular toy of the year, according to the Target toy catalog. You know you can buy a dupe on either Amazon, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, Dollar General, Five Below, T.J. Maxx, etc.

"No! ThE sTaRbUcKs BeArIsTa CuP iS a MuSt-HaVe-" Bitch, shut thee fuck up and spend your money somewhere else. How much is the cup? $30? Your local food bank needs your $30.

If you're desperate to get that cup, why don't you just suck the iced coffee out of a honey jar? It's the same shit. Y'all Starbucks fans are delusional as fuck.

And don't get me wrong, I go to Starbucks for my usual drinks, seasonal and all, but I just don't buy their merchandise. Would I buy one of their keychains in the future? Sure! But will they be limited edition? Fuck no!

Then, the people who didn't get the bear cups are flocking to TikTok to call themselves Beargate victims. PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING TO AFFORD A THANKSGIVING MEAL FOR THEIR FAMILIES! The last thing people need to worry about is whether their local Starbucks has that fucking cup in stock.

"BuT tHiS Is ThE cRoSs I cArRy AnD sTaRbUcKs LiTeRaLlY cRuCiFiEd Me-" Girl, shut the fuck up. Entitled. Desperate. Attention-seeking, just like the other bitch making a TikTok video about how he got that bear cup with people bribing him.

Starbucks really thought they're going to become Time Magazine's 2025 Person of the Year. Instead, they're going to end up on the National Enquirer. Their publicity stunt is already the talk of the commentary channels on YouTube.

Starbucks, get it together. The fuck?

Anyway, please check out videos like Kiki's that talk more about the Starbucks bear cup drama. I swear, it's giving Black Friday during the 2000's.
