Starbucks is apologizing after a California sheriff's office said two of its deputies were ignored in a store.

"Two of our deputies were refused service at Starbucks," Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said on Twitter. "The anti police culture repeatedly displayed by Starbucks employees must end."

The department said on Twitter on Friday it was aware of the "cop with no coffee" incident that took place Thursday night.

Starbucks spokesman Reggie Borges told CNN the deputies were ignored for nearly five minutes -- and there's no excuse for that.

"We are deeply sorry and reached out to apologize directly to them. We take full responsibility for any intentional or unintentional disrespect shown to law enforcement on whom we depend every day to keep our stores and communities safe," Borges said.

The deputies were "laughed at" and "completely ignored," Bianco said in a video. "They tried to get served, they asked if anyone was going to help them," he said.

Eventually, they left, Bianco said.

 

I have seen quite a few Starbuck related issues recently, seems like they need to close down for more diversity training. Unclear if the Police Officers were allowed to us the Bathrooms.

I make any other choice possible, they make Some of the most ridiculous stands of any national franchise out there

If only these people would protest how heinous it is for pumpkin spice to be seasonal. 

 

But in all seriousness, it's happened a few times, but people really need to put this in perspective, or what I call logic filtering. We get a lot of news nationally, and start to believe that repeatedly seeing the same thing is a meaningful trend. But cases like this demonstrate the irrationality of that. These are individual franchises, in a sea of franchises, over 10,000 in the US alone. Just like we wouldn't assume 40 murders in a weekend in Chicago doesn't make Boise, ID, unsafe, or the US as a whole, it makes little sense to assume this is Starbucks' policy as a whole unless there's actual evidence that their policy is to treat police like this. It also makes no sense to me to employ pointless "protest" choices. I know plenty of SJWs go there, but everywhere I've ever gone to Starbucks, in dozens of US states and several Canadian provinces, the employees have been nothing short of polite.

I was given a Starbucks Gift Card for a talk I did, gave it away.

Did they close for police sensitivity training? They did when it was racial....

 

pumpkin spice is the crime, not its seasonality

Starbucks hold themselves to a higher standard, a much higher standard so are measured accordingly.

It's not a reflection of Starbucks as a company or its mission/CVP. It's a reflection of a few idiots who got fired, and even that, unless they showed no remorse/were fired via progressive discipline, I don't think they should lose their jobs either.

 

People really need to understand how some of these reactions are highly disproportionate to the crime, and not only that, but this is a method similarly used by SJWs trying to ruin people/companies. The best way to validate their behavior is to employ it.

Most other companies I have no issue with, Starbucks is different.

How diverse were the cops?  No one seems to have asked this yet.

Sometimes low wage employees do dumb stuff. Same reaction when some dumb red neck makes a racist remark and everyone blames waffle house.
