Starbucks has a handy dandy little green stick that you can stick in the little hole in your cup to prevent the hot coffee from splashing out all over your hand or car. Since I my stops to Starbucks are usually in the morning on my way to work, I always want one of these to keep the coffee in the cup and not all over the car, but it seems that my local neighborhood coffee shop is nearly always out. In the past, Chris has offered me a sticker from their label machine, which … kind of works, but today he solved the problem for good.
If you are ever faced with this, all you need to do is take one of their short straws (they have larger ones for venti frappuccino's that are longer and fatter, don't use these) and bend it in half then stick the fold into the cup. I am happy to say that it works well and they are a lot less likely to not have straws.
