Why Did Starbucks Write "Big Dick" On My Drink Cup?

Christian’s feelings are a little hurt. He tells Consumerist that he doesn’t understand why someone at Starbucks felt the need to give him a nickname, and to write that nickname on his cold drink’s cup. What did they write? “Big Dick.”

I went to the Starbucks at the [redacted] campus today in between classes to pick up a drink. I was in a pretty good mood and I left the store with my drink. On my way to class, I noticed that the Barista had a better name for me. (See the picture attached). I have no clue what made the person write that. I wasn’t mean at all. I don’t think I’ll be going back. That’s too bad for Starbucks since I usually go 1-2 times per day. I’ll be taking my business to Peet’s Coffee.

Were you wearing really tight pants, Christian? Maybe it was intended as a sexually harassing, deeply disturbing compliment.
