It's the season for giving your paycheck away.

For the glass bear cup. That's more than okay.

Just thirty bucks to sift some phone because not the

Stear Bucks wear your wallet hibernate.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
So Starbucks unveiled the new holiday cups, but that's not
what people were going for. The holiday cups came out today,
but everyone was going for the barrista cup. And you
know how I found out about it. How I got
up this morning and I see that Kyle Unfugg had
posted stuff on Stories, and I was like, wow, she's
up early posting stuff.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
What's going on in her world?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
And I was out and about. I left my house
so early so that I could get to the Starbucks
and buy my house.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
When they opened, I was like three minutes late, but
they were already sold out.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
They were sold out.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
This was like literally three minutes after they opened. So
I'm like, okay, there's like seventeen Starbucks right around this area,
so I'm just gonna go and call and go and call.
So I literally drove to six other Starbucks and then
called probably about ten to twelve of them, and they
had all sold.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Out immediately when they opened up.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
So I'm like, oh my gosh, so my only next
chance would be like a Starbucks in a grocery store,
and there's like but I'm like, also, I got to
be at work at a certain time and there's one
right by work that has a Starbucks in it, and
I'm like, I'm just gonna try.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
It's my last hope. Like at this point, I really
want it. That's stupid, bear like was determined.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
So I waited outside with There was only three other
people in line with me, and we were like sitting
outside the door, and the guy from the grocery store
came out and he goes, do you guys.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Have a direct line to your therapist? What are you
guys waiting? You're like, we're waiting for the bear cups.
He's like, I don't know if we have those, let
me go check.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
So nice of him to even come out because the
store was not open yet and wasn't supposed to open
for another forty minutes.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
He's probably like, who are these crazy ladies out the
side of my store?
Speaker 5 (02:10):
So he said one of the other girls in line
was looking for the Hello Kitty cups because those were
also dropping today and people are excited about those as well.
So he went in and he came back out like
a little bit later and said, we have them, and
there should be plenty for all of you.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Just stay calm, like I've heard.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Like people are fighting over these, like okay, so we're excited.
We're like, okay, we're gonna sit here and wait. We
had then while we were in line, been talking about
nearby Starbucks and nearby grocery stores that were opening around
the same time, and had.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Called two of them.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
One of them was totally out already, and the other
one said they had six of them, but there was
already a huge line outside the store.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
Uh so, so your best shots right there.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
There waiting in line.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Right He opens the doors and we're like this is fantastic,
and we're like, he's like, please stay in line as
you walk to the Starbucks.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
So we do, and I'm like, where are they? Are
they out?
Speaker 5 (03:04):
So she had them behind the counter and as we
walk up, we're like, she's like, which ones are you
looking for?
Speaker 4 (03:09):
We're like the bear cups. She's like, we didn't get.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Any, but what did they have?
Speaker 4 (03:16):
They had the Hello Kiddy ones. They did not have
the Bear cups.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Which is wild because as I'm like on this search,
there is like frenzy at all the stores that I
had been to, there were that sold out. They said
literally they only had one or two that the store
got total, like that's all they got.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
But they promoted the heck out of this barren yeah,
which is really really kind of lame of Starbucks, like
a lovely Starbucks genius marketing move, but like for the
people who actually wanted one, it's such a bummer. So
I also believe that a lot of the baristas were
buying them themselves, so like, so the got and they
held them aside for them. Well, so I also kind
(03:57):
of feel like the baristas should have first crack at it,
but they should also have enough for people who are
actually coming to the store to get on grad That's.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Why the line was so long to drive through today.
I'm like, where else four in the morning, the people
coming from, Oh I'm sorry, there's so much.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
They're selling them for like three hundred bucks.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Now, yeah, they're on eBay for like three hundred dolls
and I'm like, not, I don't want.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
It that much if you want it for yourself or
for your daughter.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
So Addie and I both wanted one, and yesterday Peyton
discovered them on social media. She's like, if you go
get me one. So I'm like in my head, I'm like, okay,
I gotta get three of them. And then I realized,
like these stores are only getting one or two, and
I'm like, sorry, Addie, sorry Peyton.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
You guys are on your own.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
This morning.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
I didn't get it.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
That was my car this morning.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I get up and I see so I go, I go,
I need to get gas. So I pull in gas station.
I don't know what time was four or something like that,
and I go, uh, I'm filling up and I see that, oh,
this gas station has the lotto.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
The lotto is like at eight hundred billion dollars. Then
me go buy a lot of tickets.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
I go into the store and the guys that's gonna
help you, I said, I want to get a lot
of tickets because we can't sell until six A. I'm like,
I didn't know that, and he goes, yeah, that's the rule.
And I go, if I win, I will give you
a million dollars and he goes, thank you, that's great,
but I can't open up the system, and I'll give
you one point five million.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
I forget it.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
As I fill up, and as I'm getting gas, I
see on Kyle's story she's posting. I'm like, boy, she's
not posting early. So I look and You're like, I'm
trying to give this up. There's a Starbucks between the
gas station and the radio station, so I'm like, I'm
just gonna pull into the gas station. And then I
had this battle in my head because I don't want
to get through the drive through and then they don't
have them, and then do I want to buy a coffee?
I don't want to buy a coffee because I like
(05:35):
the coffee here and we have plenty of coffee here.
I'm like, okay, I'm just gonna park and go into
the Starbucks. So I park and I go into the
Starbucks and I say to the lady, do you have
those bear cups?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
And she goes, we sold out at three am.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Oh my three.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Am, and she says the brista says, I really wanted one,
but I couldn't get one.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
The barista so I wonder if like, her management was like,
you can't get these, which would be such a bummer.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I said, I'm just trying to be a good friend,
is what I said. You don't have any of the bath.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Did you buy any coffee or did you just walk out?
And I walked out.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
I don't know why. I'm like so sad about this
bear cup. That sounds so stupid, but it's so cute.
It's so cute, you guys. The bear cup is so
darn cute. And there was like so much type.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
I'm like, I'm finding it really hard to focus today
at work.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I think it's so great. I had no idea. I
never heard of it.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Like I was this close. The guy said they had them.
We were I was the third person in line said.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
There was plenty that was it looks like the bear cup,
like it literally looks like you stick a straw and
a sure honey, you drink coffee?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Four you oh.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Number text said I got two Hello Kitty cups just
right now. My briest just put my cups on hold
for me last night. They're the best Briefts. Shout out
to Starbucks on Warner and fifty first Street.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
That's great.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
There were a lot of the there were a lot
of the Hello Kitty ones.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Those ones didn't seem as in demand.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Not I mean there were a lot of people at
one of them. They were in demand, but they were there
wasn't like the frenzy around them as much because like two,
I'd actually think three of the Starbucks stores that I
went in looking for the bear cups still had plenty
of them. So and then I'm like, oh, there are
a couple of Starbucks that open at ten, and there's
like a lot of the Starbucks inside the targets opened
(07:17):
at eight, but they already had like we were waiting
in line for a place that open, like I think
it was like five or six, and there was already
a line at the Starbucks down the road and they've
been over four hours.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
So that's a dilemma you're dealing with.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Let me tell you the dilemma I'm dealing with that
you guys don't know about it, but I'm ready to
share it. So I've been parking far far away in
the morning. When I come in, tet noticed it's weird
park really far away. Not only that, but I park
on a second floor of a parking structure so that
I get my extra steps and I feel like it
warms up my legs going up and down the stairs.
And now when I leave, this is the dilemma I have,
(07:52):
and it's killing me. When I leave, there's a guy
with a beard that stands at the bottom of the
stairs and cigarettes.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Oh, and you have to walk by him.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I don't want to walk by it. I hate smoke.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
And the first day it happened, I took a detour
and had to walk way to the other end of
the parking lot to another stairwell, which is even further,
which is cool because I don't mind the steps. But
when I leave here, my time is specifically paste out
perfectly to get where I need to be at a
certain time.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
So now that's a good thirty five forty second delay
in me getting to my car to get where I
need to go in time, right, because I gotta walk,
I gotta I gott a serpent time away from this
guy smoking.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
So get this.
Speaker 7 (08:31):
The dude's been there every day for five days, and
i'd leave it and leave at different times, like I believe,
either the fifteen minutes earlier yesterday, I left twenty minutes
earlier the day before yesterday, and he's there smoking a cigarette.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
So do you think he's smoking there for like an
hour or he's not real?
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Oh so now you need someone to watch you leave today?
Just deuble check what good?
Speaker 6 (08:51):
You can't smoke in front of our building anymore, which
I think is great because it used to be smoke.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Stairwell, Like it's an outdoor stairwell. Yeah, and he's outside,
but people have to walk by him. Go go somewhere else,
go buy somewhere flammable.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
What would be dangerous?
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I don't know who the guy is, and I want
to be like, come on, dude, you know what I mean.
And then when I walk by, uh. In the past,
I've seen the cigarette butts on the floor with I
think it's gross.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
So he's he's probably like a three or four a
day or over there that one spot.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
A lot of times I will hold my breath in
the past, like whenever I walk by a smoker, I'll
be like, if I'm walking with my wife or my
kids by your smoker, hold your breath on your breath
walk by. But I don't think I could hold my
breath and walk up the stairs because he's the bottom
of the stairs.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I do't think I can hold my breath. You need
your you need to breathe in stuff all over my clothes. Yeah, anyway,
it's it's a dilemma.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
It is, and I wasn't gonna bring it up until
I knew that it was happening a lot. And it's
been five days in a row, unless what of you
guys just telling him when I leave cancer.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
So yeah,
