A black woman named Monique goes into a Starbucks in Maryland and orders a drink.
The worker asks for her name and she tells the worker it is Monique.

Worker proceeds to write Monkey on her cup.

:)



Worker either didn't hear Monique correctly, or was incompetent, racist, idiotic, or... something.

So of course Monique (not Monkey) was quite offended, and she "believes that racism was the catalyst for the slur."

Shit storm ensues.


Starbucks offered Monique the opportunity to sit down and talk with their licensee about their plan moving forward.
It includes a thorough investigation of the incident and extensive employee training (which will cover cultural and
racial sensitivities). The spokesperson went onto explain that they are taking steps to ensure incidents like these d
on’t happen again and that Starbucks has a zero-tolerance stance to any customer feeling unwelcome.

Hopefully they can all end up being friends.

Starbucks needs to fix the cup naming system. Assign the order a number like everywhere else. Sheesh.

Having experiences trying to hold a conversation on the phone with a person with an accent, I can understand not being able to comprehend what words are being said. BUT--and it is a big BUT---writing Monkey was definitely a no-no option.

Yep. Surprised this hasn't happened more often.

People can't remember random numbers. Asking for a name is asking dumbshits "what do I call out that you'll remember when your order is ready so that I don't have to make your drink again when it gets cold waiting for you to pull your head out?"

You string together buzz words like normal people are supposed to understand the outcome.

WTF was that?

People can remember numbers if they are handed said number on the receipt when they pay for their insanely overpriced and overrated coffee!

Just tonight, we went to Costco. After spending $13 for dinner for a family of 5, the receipt said "768." The person completing the order yelled out "768" and we picked up our order.

So we are assigned a number rather than some shrapnel-filled hair brightly colored "they/their" attempting to pronounce "Mike."

That's what you get for going to Starfucks. Only douchebags go to fucking Starfucks.



They tried to copy the original but it didn't work.



A New Coffee Era Begins

On April 1, 1966, Mr. Peet opened his own coffee shop in Berkeley at the corner of Vine and Walnut streets, not far from the University of California campus.









The Early Years

In 1971, three young entrepreneurs approached Mr. Peet to learn the finer points of the coffee business, and for two years he provided them with training as well as the roasted coffee beans for their newventure, a company called Starbucks. Perhaps you’ve heard of it

8 hot dogs is not “dinner for a family of 5” you inane flyover fuck. And there is nothing wrong with coloring your hair or not wanting to be called she or he you fucking boring ass bigot.

These fucking crackers can’t even handle salons they are such snowflakes.

They also have pizza and chicken bake!

Pizza is 2$ a slice and deep fried chicken thing is 3$.
Two dogs, 2 slices and 2 deep fried chicken things is also not a meal for 5 people.

You fucks will even lie about dinner. Or maybe you’re just a horrible parent, or both.

Costco chicken bakes are $$$. They used to sell them frozen in the store but they weren't the same. Much less filling.

When duncetown buys dinner for other people he spares no expense....just like his Dear Leader....

Bullshit. We drop around $50 at Chick-fil-A and most other fast food these days. Sit down is close to $75-80 with tip. White Castle is about the only place we can get out for under $30.

Right after that cheap dinner at Costco, we went in and proceeded to drop $450 on stuff we needed to help avoid fast food and sit down.

You know what else you could do to avoid fast food? Not order fast food. Crazy concept I know. :paul:
