  1. Too bad the manager didn't suggest the complaining customer to leave if feeling unsafe.

    Starbucks apologizes, sort of. No one fired, they didn't feel the need to close all their stores for a day to tell their employees not to insult law enforcement. No big money settlement like the black guys undoubtedly got.

    "In an apology here addressed to the Tempe Police Department and posted on its website, Starbucks said the treatment of the officers was "completely unacceptable."

    “On behalf of Starbucks, I want to sincerely apologize to you all for the experience that six of your officers had in our store on July 4,” Rossann Williams, the coffee chain’s executive vice president, wrote.

    “What occurred in our store on July 4 is never the experience your officers or any customer should have, and at Starbucks, we are already taking the necessary steps to ensure this doesn’t happen again in the future.”

    Last year, the company was mired in a racial profiling incident that involved the arrest of two black men in a Philadelphia store. Starbucks later settled with the men privately, and temporarily closed 8,000 U.S. stores for anti-bias training. "

    There is something very 1984 newspeak about so many in the US with smaller and smaller functional vocabularies. This not even having a working first language thing is not good.

    Anyone who buys Starbucks mugs anymore definately has a shallow forehead.
