An Oklahoma Starbucks apologized on Thanksgiving after one of its baristas wrote "Pig" on the label for a police officer's order.

Kiefer Police Chief Johnny O'Mara shared a photo of the insulting cup handed to one of his officers, who purchased the beverages on Thursday morning in Tulsa as a kind gesture for the dispatchers on duty.

I guess that Starbucks employee doesn't want his job anymore.

I watched this protest on YouTube recently. A bunch of little leftist commies were chanting "f**k the police" and then Infowars show up and started filming them. So of course, now they're triggered snowflake little leftist commies. So what do they do? Naturally, they call the police.

Wow, that was so uncalled for. I hope that barista ends up being fired.

I am amazed that someone who has reached the age of being able to work with the public has yet to learn common decency and respect for others. The barista does not have to personally like the police, or any person who walks in the doors, but the barista should be mature enough to simply take the order and be courteous while doing so.

Now I'm beginning to wonder how they interview for being a barista in a Starbucks. What kinds of questions are asked, and what answers are being looked for?

They've apparently suspended this employee but honestly, I think that something like THIS mandates more than that (termination).

perhaps starbucks should close all of their stores for "sensitivity training" and make a public proclamation that all police are welcome.

That's a great thought.
