They chose to demonstrate their opposition to the action by refusing to provide our war-fighters with a small taste of home rather than support our troops. Have never and never will patronize Starbucks because of their refusal to accept a contract to supply our troops with coffee during operation desert shield/storm in the early 1990s. There have been reports on TikTok that some Starbucks employees are even poisoning the drinks of police officers after their visits with bleach and other toxic substances. Unfortunately, these are not isolated incidents.
Naturally, herein lies the double standard: will they do the same for this incident of prejudice against police officers? I’m not holding my breath. Starbucks also shut down all of their stores on a nationwide basis and gave all of their employees specialized sensitivity training to address the issue. They were ultimately arrested, but here’s the kicker – they ended up suing and then they received a public apology from the Starbucks CEO and an offer where they would have all of their tuition completely paid for! However, if this weren’t enough, there was yet another incident where there were some African-American individuals who refused to leave a Starbucks in Philadelphia.
So why is this absurd and discriminatory behavior okay when it is directed toward police officers? The short answer is that it’s not. Of course, if these police officers were bartenders or sanitation workers instead of police offers, then it is likely that Starbucks would now have a discrimination lawsuit on their hands.
