"Diabetes here I come" message offends Starbucks customer

(WTXF) - A Florida Starbucks customer was unhappy to see something other than his name printed on his freshly made grande white mocha.

The label reportedly read: "DIABETES HERE I COME."

According to Mashable, the unidentified man had a personal reason to be offended by the message.

"That first word just automatically brought the picture of both sisters in my head, and I was taken aback," says the man, who has two sisters with Type 1 diabetes. "Just the struggles they went through and all the doctor appointments they had."

The coffee drink had been delivered to his office by an employee who did the coffee run. Afterwards, the man went down to the Starbucks himself.

"2 of my sisters are diabetic, so ... not funny," he wrote on the cup before returning it.

The man says that he is not looking for an apology, just a promise that it will not happen again.

The store's manager was shown pictures of the cup, according to Action News Jax, and was told that he will "find more about this" and "talk to my boss."

USAToday reports that Starbucks corporate headquarters is "disappointed" by the incident.

"We are working directly with the customer to apologize for his experience, and with our partners (employees) to ensure this does not happen again," they said.
