A Starbucks Barista Wrote a Savage Message on a Customer's Cup

A Starbucks customer in Florida ended up with more than just his grande white chocolate mocha...he got some sass too.

The man told a local CBS News affiliate that upon picking up his order, he noticed that his cup was labeled "DIABETES HERE I COME."

The message might be offensive to the average person but it struck even more a nerve with this man as two of his sisters have Type 1 diabetes.

"That first word just automatically brought the picture of both sisters in my head, and I was taken aback," he said. "Just the struggles they went through and all the doctor appointments they had."

Starbucks corporate headquarters said that they were "disappointed" to hear of the encounter.

As for the offended customer, he didn't take the initial offense lying down. Before leaving the store, he took the time to write the offending barista a note on his coffee cup.

"2 of my sisters are diabetic, so... Not funny," he wrote.

The man told CBS that he wasn't looking for an apology, but wanted to make sure that no future customers experienced the same treatment.
