STARBUCKS
Hi. I was wondering why don't you guys sell coffee mugs. Then that way I can have something with the cool STARBUCKS logo on it?
(dumbfounded) "er? ah? Please hold on one minute sir. I'll go ask my manager.
Backroom
Like, some guy out there wants to know why we don't sell STARBUCKS coffee mugs?
Duhh! Because you do that and pretty soon they'll be putting their own coffee in the mug! Just tell him 'good idea, we'll suggest it to corporate'!
Hi sir. My manager said that, "that was a great idea and that we'll make sure and tell corporate." (fake smile)
(half joking) "Well.... you just make sure I get the first one FREE and filled with a deluxe coffee order!" (fake laugh)
