Starbucks barista writes 'Pig' on police officer's cup

From the article posted:

"In the coming days, Starbucks will be meeting with the Kiefer Police Department to begin discussing ways to work together, including a jointly hosted Coffee with a Cop event at Starbucks where local law enforcement can meet with baristas and members of the community to discuss the critical role dispatchers and police [officers] play in keeping our communities safe," the company said.

"Together with law enforcement agencies, Starbucks will jointly look for educational opportunities for our partners across the United States to promote better understanding and respect," it added.

What more do you think Starbucks should do after this incident?

Setting up new policies and looking into ways to improve overall CSR skills and educate employees on learning to be more respectful is always welcome.

However, I've stated what I feel this particular employee should face....termination.

Let this situation hopefully be a lesson for future employees at Starbucks.

She apparently was fired and the police officer wants them to reconsider firing her. That sounds like a good guy.

He's definitely a good guy and nicer than I am or would be.

I would hope that I would be a bigger person like him. But I probably wouldn’t be. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

There are amazing customer service reps out there in so many different business fields.

It's not hard at all to be polite, professional, and friendly. Someone else can easily fill the shoes of this Starbucks employee who decided they didn't care enough about their job or representing Starbucks to NOT put what they did on that officer's coffee cup.

That is pretty stand up thing for that officer to do. I’d feel like shit if I was her...but I wouldn’t have done that in the first place.

I wonder if they knew each other.

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.

I love you guys and all your perfect responses. Thank you

I wish it were possible to maintain a database with the names / addresses / phone numbers / etc of everyone who hates the police. THEN, when those individuals call for help the police can simply ignore their call.
