Someone called themselves “Stop Brexit” at Starbucks and it got quite the reaction – the 18 funniest comments
We’ve lost count of the amount of “funny” names people have handed in at Starbucks, just to prank the baristas when they have to shout them out. We also suspect some of them might not actually be true – we know – perish the thought of people faking stuff on the internet. That being said, we quite like this one and it might even be true.
