Anyone get their "free" red cup from Starbucks? I say "free" because you still have to make a purchase. I like the cup this year. Wasn't a fan of the ribbon swirls last year or the purple pink with the red.  |

Got mine…but didn’t realize it until got home that they handed me someone else’s drink. Sorry Cori, I hope you got my peppermint cocoa too! 😬🤞🏻❤️💚

It's funny, I never go to SB but we are getting our roof redone today so homeschool boy and I escaped. Ours either doesn't have them, isn't giving them out, or is already out of them. There's no one here with one.

Our Starbucks employees are on strike here today. Anyone who wants the cup will have to cross a picket line. lol. (which I wouldn't do...)

I got mine. I'm always excited to get them but never upset about not, like some people I've seen. The person working the window was super rude today, though.

How heavy/thick are they?
Are they something you can put in the dishwasher or pretty flimsy?
As you can tell, I've never gotten one.

I didn't get one, but I saw them in the mobile ordering area. I didn't go just to get a cup (happened to be near one after dropping DS off at school) but I was a little sad to not get one.

but I was a little sad to not get one. I had to ask. And I think it's possible that you only qualified for them if you ordered a "holiday" drink. Someone else here probably knows better. Update to my earlier comment about it being weird I was at a SB to begin with...I ended up at a second one later today! DD got some bad news at school and needed cheering up (didn't get voted team captain), and wanted SB! So we went to the one close to school, and they had the cups, lol. But as I said, I had to actually ask them to give us one. They were perfectly nice about it, I think it was just not the norm so it skipped their minds. |

I must be the only person on the planet who has never been to a Starbucks. I also have never understood the fascination with their cups. I do love me some coffee though.  |

I thought all of ours were striking too, but apparently it was only a few stores, the ones that have managed to unionize. I was surprised when my husband came home with a cup because he would never cross a picket line. He didn't even know about the strike. |

I've been to one with someone else a couple times, but never just for me. I don't like coffee and I don't like paying for tea or cocoa that's at the boiling point so I can't even drink it for ten minutes. Their ice tea was nothing to write home about, so no reason for me to go. I'm glad that's one less addiction for me. I do, however, have a thing for a fountain drink daily. Large diet coke from McDonald's every day. Ridiculous waste of my time and money but it's only a dollar and not far from my house, so... |

IDK if they are striking in my area, but I am another one who wouldn't cross a picket line. We are blessed with a comfortable retirement because of a union.

My husband went into a Starbucks once with the guys he worked with. He asked for a cup of just regular coffee and the Barista freaked out.😂😂 |
