Chicago – A federal lawsuit claims Starbucks regularly overfills its cold drinks with ice instead of using the advertised amount of coffee or other liquid in its plastic cups.

The lawsuit was filed last week in Chicago on behalf of Stacy Pincus, a local woman who accuses Starbucks of misleading consumers. The lawsuit alleges that an iced beverage advertised at 24 ounces contains about 14 ounces of fluid, and that ice isn’t a fluid or beverage.
“A Starbucks customer who orders and pays for a cold drink receives much less than advertised — often nearly half as many fluid ounces,” the lawsuit states, adding that the practice is “by design and corporate practice and procedure.”
Starbucks said the lawsuit is without merit.
“Our customers understand and expect that ice is an essential component of any ‘iced’ beverage,” Starbucks spokesperson Jaime Riley said Monday. “If a customer is not satisfied with their beverage preparation, we will gladly remake it.”
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.
Nowadays in this country they can get enough insane jurors 2 make Starbucks pay everybody in the United States $20 to satisfy this crazy woman this lawsuit
Liberals
Lawyers need gaudy homes and fancy cars, or else, they have no reason to exist. Hence, the lawsuit.
Just order your drinks without ice–b’li kerach !!! דמד
They had this one coming to them. They put in a very highly disproportionate ratio of ice to coffee and tea in their iced drinks. It’s about time this ripoff is corrected.
Doesn’t the lawyer realize that ice is frozen liquid that mets and returns to a liquid state? The client is probably a Trump supporter,
Jews who keep kosher strictly should not buy any prepared beverage in Starbucks including plain coffee. The goyim who work there do not know anything about the kosher consumer and they prepare non kosher food items with the same utensils, sinks, etc. as the coffee items.
Great idea, my hot coffee I buy at Starbucks contains over 99 percent water. Where can I start a class action
