So, I have no love for Starbucks, but when the state files frivolous lawsuits (of which this is an especially egregious one) against companies, can the companies then sue for court costs, attorney's fees and maybe even pain and suffering do to intentional infliction of emotional distress....or something?
Yes indeed, we see so many frivolous lawsuits from the right. Yet there is no accountability for wasting the courts' time. Without accountability, each lawsuit, even when thrown out, is a success. They give the lawyer visibility in the rightwing grift circuit, they force the plaintiffs to waste money and time, the gin up rage in the base. So enraging!!
Starbucks could move for attorney’s fees as a sanction for filing a frivolous complaint. (Fed. Rule Civ. Pro. 11, if anyone cares.) It’s up to Starbucks though; God does not, on His own initiative, smite those who bring frivolous actions (although a pissed off district judge might).
A cup of Starbucks coffee currently costs more than a monthly subscription to a substacker so I know who gives a better bang for my buck ('-'). I have a minimalist coffee pod machine at home and it makes a delicious expresso, my fave, also I get 10 cups for the price of one of theirs and I don't have to wait. It's ready in 30 seconds! What's the problem America, I thought you were broke so why are you throwing away your well earned cash. They charge an arm and a leg and don't pay their employees all that well either. Corporate America is a disease that eats you out of house and home.
As a Missouri resident, I've been following this. Good on the judge for using common sense.

Your coffee puns are Choice. Tasters’ Choice even.
