Starbucks customers have been captured brawling in store as they literally fight to get their hands on a viral festive cup.<\/p>\n

The coffee giant released the Bearista<\/a> as part of their Christmas range in the US and people were instantly obsessed.<\/p>\n

People lined up ahead of stores opening in but Starbucks <\/a>could not keep up with demand and the $29.95 (\u00a322.75) teddy bear-shaped cups quickly sold out.<\/p>\n

This shortage led to panicked punters scrapping with one another in front of shocked customers as they tried to secure their Bearista.<\/p>\n

Footage shared on Tiktok<\/a> shows people grappling inside a store after the festive cups went on sale.<\/p>\n

One clip uploaded to the social media<\/a> platform by the user @jerjericciardi2 shows a man being accosted by two people inside a store.<\/p>\n

A Starbucks spokesperson apologised to customers and said the demand ‘exceeded their expectations.’<\/p>\n

They said: “The excitement for our merchandise exceeded even our biggest expectations and despite shipping more Bearista cups to coffeehouses than almost any other merchandise item this holiday season, the Bearista cup and some other items sold out fast.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand many customers were excited about the Bearista cup and apologize for the disappointment this may have caused.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Starbucks released the cups as part of their festive range but they quickly flew off the shelves.Starbucks customers…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":252171,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[84,6948,59,224,45301,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-252170","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-coffee","10":"tag-gb","11":"tag-social-media","12":"tag-starbucks","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252170","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252170"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252170\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/252171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252170"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252170"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252170"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
