Is Starbucks Now Charging For Pup Cups?

Retired Partner-for-Life here. Someone on my Facebook feed was cheerily raving about getting their dog’s first puppaccino (i still hate that word!) and how well worth the $1 they paid for it was.

Is this true? Is there finally a charge for this?

not that i’m aware of! we don’t charge for any of that. this one lady get an entire oatmeal bowl of whipped cream. how would you even put that in on the POS?

Some licensed stores have a way for charging for extra syrup pumps so maybe some form of that happened. Corporate would have to create a pup cup button with a charge but otherwise it can’t really be done.

there is no charge. unless they want like, a tall/grande/venti size of whipped cream.

dang! too bad in my view. my store never charged even if they asked for a larger cup which in all fairness rarely happened.
