    Seems like they’re asking for the Tyler Durden “refinement”.

    They can write it, but it will come with a hole in the cup.

    That’s bleak, but do they realise the coffee cup already has a hole and a habbit to spill in the least comfortable moment? I already did a crude kirky spray cap meme, and that’s very close to it.

    My new name is Charlie Kirks Neckhole. I expect the same amount of deference.

        Starbucks coffee isn’t coffee, it’s sweetened sugar with extra sugar.

        Sincerely: a coffee addict.

          This is why I get a lollipop in a cup when I go twice a year.

          If I’m getting candy in a cup by fuck I’m getting the best candy in a cup I can.

          Milk and sugar delivery system.

          Which I can do myself for a fraction of the cost, whole milk and brown sugar and coffee. If I want anyway I drink coffee black. And tea, almost always.

    Aren’t coffee shops already known for screwing up people’s names, especially intentionally? Just say “okay” and put in “Karla Churk” or some shit.

      And don’t they usually just use the first name? Like, okay, your name is Charlie. Next?

    Hey, how about this: leave service workers alone you sick fucks. The baristas, wait staff, cooks, chefs, bussers, janitors and everyone else at work is just trying to do their jobs. Be polite, don’t pull stupid fucking stunts, buy your stupid coffee and fuck off.

    Also, quit gargling fascist balls.

    I guess they can make my coffee order out to “Epstein Files.” Such a petty bullshit thing to do to cause trouble.

              I wouldn’t say he has a “big problem”. From what I hear, it’s pretty tiny.
