A trip to Starbucks ended violently on Sunday, after two customers got into argument over a wrong drink order, and one of them was stabbed.
The man who was stabbed was not pursuing criminal charges, but was taken to the hospital after a verbal argument took a sharp turn.
“He was sitting on the curb, and his hand was bandaged up. There was blood everywhere in the foyer,” witness Kimberly Anderson said.
Bloodied napkins littered the ground outside the Starbucks on Northwest Highway in northwest suburban Park Ridge.
Starbucks said there was an altercation between two customers Sunday afternoon. It escalated into what witnesses described as a stabbing.
“I’m informed that a customer was upset with the way his drink was prepared, or perhaps delivered to him,” property owner Glen Wherfel said.
Anderson said one customer was upset with his latte, and another customer tried to calm the situation.
“The guy with the wrong latte just started cutting him up, and got him real bad in the hand,” she said.
Police said there is no threat to the general public. No charges will be filed in the case.
Stab-ucks
No pix of the perp and victim. Hmmmmm. Do you suppose....
Because white people go berserko all the time if someone screws up their latte order.
Pure speculation on my part — perhaps the barista was thinking, “I deserved to be stabbed. After all, I’m white.”
“Take it!”
“I don’t want it! You take it!”
“F you! (stsb, stab, stab)
Because they are friends and the bro really did not mean it.
“Pure speculation on my part — perhaps the barista was thinking, “I deserved to be stabbed. After all, I’m white.””
Where did you get that the barista was stabbed?
The Barista probably called out “House, Black” at the pick-up counter.

Starbucks: The ghetto espresso bar experience.
Really? It would seem to me that stabbing someone is a crime of some sort and...oh...wait a minute. This happened in Chicago.
I disagree. Strongly.
My mistake. I meant "victim".

Exceptions can be made for a single killing with multiple wounded, especially if one or more of the wounded ends up in a critical care unit... but this is at the discretion of the local precinct captain. It really depends on the situation and in most cases the call goes to “no threat to the general public” if there are fewer than 2 corpses.
Well done!
The two folks who were fighting in Stab-ucks should be downgraded to decaf for the rest of their lives.
It’s a mystery to me that someone this violent over something so trivial wouldn’t get charges filed against them.
You’re right, this guy is ABSOLUTELY a threat to the general public.
“The man who was stabbed was not pursuing criminal charges, but was taken to the hospital after a verbal argument took a sharp turn.”
I wonder if the author intended to make a pun (sharp turn) in that sentence?
"I asked for the double latte with foam and a dusting of nutmeg."
