When I got close enough to speak to him I told him that his coffee was on his roof. He looked at me and said, “I know, Happy Holiday’s from Starbucks!” At first I didn’t get it, it didn’t sink in, so I told him again, your coffee it’s on your roof and again he looked me square in they eye and said, “yes, yes, I know, Happy Holidays from Starbucks.” It was at this point that I realized that the coffee cup was permanently affixed to his roof and that he was an advertisment in disguise.

Now I wonder… what type of advertisement would benefit from a carseat being left on the roof of your Excursion [because I've seen it happen]?
I’m a bit skeptical that the man driving the vehicle is actually a paid Starbucks employee. The individual is most likely an attention whore. Marketing like the image above would most likely clash with Starbucks branding. Inspiration for the stunt? Follow that red cup. I think so.
I work at starbucks, this is true. Every starbucks is doing it in the area, we have certain people drive around with it.
I wondered what had happened to Tim Medows.
tim meadows? thats rick james.
this should have been posted in “stupid” — just what starbucks needs. more exposure. cause, you know, one on every corner just isn’t enough.
I live in a small midwest town… And I am sad to say, we need more Starbucks. I have to drive too far to throw away my money.
aw josh, don’t fret. you can pay me $7 for a bad cup of coffee. and i won’t even use recombinant bovine growth hormones and tainted milk. nor will i buy coffee and chocolate produced under exploitative labor conditions, and in the case of cocoa plantations in africa, workers who are actually slaves.
But those slaves make a damn good Frappucino.
