Free coffee and an occasional donut insured a quick response whenever we had a problem.

Yeah my daughter was a barista and made the "mistake" of attempting to charge an officer for his coffee when she was new on the job. She said he talked to her like she was crap after that.

[Phil DiBasquette]

OK Snowflake

[mmichaels1970]

Too damn many people in the world on all sides seem to be perpetually offended by every little thing.

Yes. And too many also want to just play GOTCHA when the shoe is finally on the other foot. It's childish and accomplishes nothing.

[dznutz]

It’s Pat. ...

....or Chris.

[Cinnamontea]

"...a small-town officer..."

No bigotry there.

OK so next time she won’t be so blatant, she will just spit in the coffee and serve it to the next “Pig”.

She wanted the cop to act like an adult but she doesn’t feel she needed to be one and cries from being fired.

[mmichaels1970]

Plus the fact that she claims she didn’t do it.

[VTenigma]

I can’t figure it out either. Progressives have destroyed the language.

[Lean-Right]

Not one of the officers we delt
with ‘expected’ their coffee to
be served free of charge.
The guy who treated your daughter
in this manner shouldn’t be a cop.
If he expected his coffee to be
free, what other services is he
guilty of accepting ‘free of charge’?

Rose, who is a transgender college student, said that she had always wanted to work for Starbucks because of how they treat employees.

so why are you going to college then, you'll only end up with a degree whose career path is working at starsucks anyway and you already have your dream job?

She applied more than five times to secure her dream job, which provided specialized healthcare for transgender people and offered college tuition assistance, she said.

Rose now fears how she will cover her hormone treatments and pay for her rent.

“It was supposed to be my guardian angel,” Rose said. “They were supposed to be there for me as much as I am there for them but it’s gone because a small-town officer was offended by something [and couldn’t think like an adult] and posted to Facebook.”

one extremely sick individual

[JimSp]

Did this guy (the fired manager) enter the order name?

[JimSp]

It’s a he.

[JimSp]

And yet, here you are, playing gotcha with whoever you deem it fair to play gotcha with

[Nik Naym]

What stupid little twit. Has made no connection between her/his/its actions and the consequences. Learned nothing. Will go on to make the same kind of “mistakes” again.

[conservative98]

No, but he was the manager who was responsible for the store and working when it happened and there may be more to the story.

[matt04]

Something doesn’t add up to me. She/He was the Shift Supervisor at the time, and probably the most senior person in the store. She/He claims they told the employee who wrote “PIG” on the order it was wrong, etc. and offered to re-make the order and reported to the district manager/corporate and still got fired.

If I were in their shoes when that happened, I would have dealt with fixing the order for the customer first, then immediately suspended the employee who entered “PIG” into the computer. Then a phone call to the Store Manager to advise them of what happened, followed by the official report. I doubt she/he had hire/fire authority, but they can suspend an employee for a higher-up to address later.

Probably would have saved their job, assuming they were telling the truth they were not involved in any other way.

[cuban leaf]

It’s called “newspeak”.

I like to call liberals on this all the time. They say some of these things and I’ll say, “I’m sorry. I don’t do newspeak, and neither should you.”

[CharlesWayneCT]

Well, on the other hand, you put your life on the line to protect and serve, and you can’t even get an overpriced cup of coffee without some overpaid, entitled millenial calling you a PIG in writing on your cup.

Sure, it isn’t a “big deal”, but it is an indication of how young people have been brainwashed to dehumanize those they disagree with, much like Germany before WW2.

[CharlesWayneCT]

I think she was, and the police chief was fighting to get her re-hired. But it isn’t clear, because the manager is the one making all the sob story complaints trying to get people to donate money to her, rather than to starving children.
