A Kiefer,
OK police officer went into a Starbucks to pick up five drinks as a show of
thanks for 911 dispatchers who were working over the Thanksgiving holiday. When the officer got his order, he saw the
word “Pig” printed on the cups’ labels.
The officer
uploaded an image of one of the cups on Facebook prompting a response from the
company. According to ABC
affiliate KTUL-TV, the intemperate barista called to apologize saying the
stunt was meant as a joke.
When news
of the incident reached Starbucks HQ, they fired the employee and issued the
following statement:
"This language is
offensive to all law enforcement and is not representative of the deep
appreciation we have for police officers who work tirelessly to keep our
communities safe."
Early this morning the
laughingstock of all laughingstocks tweeted a link to an entire article on
their website shilling for the coffee company.
The new drink is Irish Cream Cold Brew, which is Starbucks' cold brew coffee mixed with Irish Cream syrup and topped with vanilla sweet cream cold foam and cocoa powder. It goes on sale Tuesday across US stores and will be available for a limited time. https://t.co/52icZwDrcR— CNN (@CNN) December 3, 2019
I sincerely hope Princess Acosta doesn’t mind my
using his likeness for the new and improved ad for Starbucks’ new designer
drink. After all, didn’t “Dear Diary Guy”
emphatically declare to President Trump that CNN is real news? Why yes, I think he did.
