My husband brought a cup of starbucks coffee into another bakery and the owner asked him for his cup of coffee, and he proceeded to put the starbucks coffee into his cup with the name of his restaurant on it. I feel my husband should not have brought the coffee into the restaurant. My husband feels the owner was out of line. Who is right?

the owner of course, how would you feel if someone came to your small business and drink a big company's coffee?

once you're comparing the backside espresso of all 3 (no longer the cappachino, frappanchino, expressos, lattes), i individually like starbucks. Starbucks' espresso is a plenty darker roast than maximum. some human beings describe it as burnt, yet to me that darker roasted style provides Starbucks its distinctiveness. the element i admire maximum approximately Starbucks is that that's consistent in brewing their espresso. Dunkin' Donuts is an intensive 2nd. This espresso is a medium roast, and could be defined a nutty. yet by using fact i've got been ingesting Starbucks so long, Dunkin' Donuts espresso seems to be too gentle for my flavor. McDonalds' espresso is vulnerable and inconsistent. some shops brew their espresso basically completely and a few shops serve hours-old espresso. there is basically no consistency.

That brings it to a fine line. To the owner, Starbucks is his competitor, if I was the owner I think I'd ask him if he'd be willing to have his coffee placed in one of my cups. That way, your husband if he was uncomfortable with this, could be given a chance to say what he wanted. An owner has to please their customers and if it pleases its competitors customers, then the competitors customers might start heading toward the other business.

The owner does not have to allow him to bring in coffee from other places. The owner should have asked him to throw it away, but he was nice enough to pour it or place it into another cup.

The owner was out of line. I think a Starbucks cup is an extra appendage. I take the cup everywhere!

No, most places will not allow you to bring in stuff from other restaurants. The owner is right it's a thought thing the answer is obvious.

No the owner was correct in what he did although he could have done it in a more tactful way. It his his buisness that he is trying to make a living in, I've seen owners managers demand that you leave thier establishment and others that as long as you are patronizing thier products do nothing at all.

Your husband is right. I think it was rude of the owner to ask him to hand over his coffee. I would have told him to get stuffed! That's just ridiculous! The guy overreacted in my opinion. If it was my coffee shop, I wouldn't have cared. Do you think the other customers are all going to run out of his shop and go to Starbucks because your husband bought a coffee there? The owner just made himself look like a jerk!

The owner was right, your husband was wrong. It's improper to bring outside food or drink into a restaurant, and in many cases, you'd be asked to leave.

It may be rude but we have gone through the Taco Bell drive thru, got my food, then gone to McDonalds and eaten inside so hubby could get the hamburger. Free country, it's my party and I'll do it if I want to.
