Starbucks apologizes for slight to police officers
December 16, 2019
Chad Bianco, sheriff of Riverside County, California, tweeted on Friday, “The anti police culture repeatedly displayed by Starbucks employees must end.” He was reacting to an alleged incident in which two of the department’s deputies were ignored by associates while waiting to be served at a local Starbucks location, as well as a previously reported incident in Oklahoma when a police officer found “PIG” scrawled on his cup. “There is simply no excuse for how the two deputies were ignored,” said Starbucks spokesperson Reggie Borges. “We’re deeply sorry for that.”
