Starbucks now says that time-stamped footage from the store at 6332 N. Northwest Highway does not show any of its workers writing that message. Instead, the note appears “to have been added after the beverage was handed off, likely by someone else,” a spokesperson told Block Club.
Garretson wrote that a relative, whom she later identified as her mother-in-law, ordered the Mint Majesty tea with two honeys — an order known to be Kirk’s favorite drink — from the Starbucks. When the order was completed, the cup had “Loser” written on it, Garretson said.
“I’m talking 5 p.m. today, I want some form of action to the employee that represents this business that wrote ‘Loser’ on my mother’s cup,” the man, who is not seen on-camera, can be heard saying in the video, which was posted Wednesday.
“We’re looking for not corporate bureaucracy. I want immediate accountability; and if not, I will have this whole intersection lined with patriots today, I’m not even joking,” the man told a Starbucks employee.
What an emotional response jesus. Guy sounds like a loser.
I wish companies would start pressing charges and suing these fuckers for blatant bullshit like this.
Yeah this is essentially libel and harassment, with threats of vexatious litigation (intentionally bullshit lawsuits) and/or violence.
They should at the very least be compensated for lost business for having to close shop because of it. Without consequences, attention whores will keep doing shit like this.
