Since the NAACP got to run the last sensitivity training, I guess it’s LaRaza’s turn to run the next one.
Most Starbucks workers, especially in California, are foreigners who can’t understand or speak English very well.
Peter, Beaner, they sound alike to a foreigner.
And I’ll bet this guy spoke with an accent himself.
But this whiner will now get himself on CNN and collect big bucks from Starbucks.
I’ll bet this guy gave the Starbucks “barista” the name “Beaner” when he placed his order just so he could scream racism and collect some bucks.
“Did you get the right coffee? Then what difference does it make?
From the generation of the perpetually offended.
If they would just focus on delivering their product, than trying to appease every Tom, Dick and Beaner who has a complaint, they would be better off.
Instead they are focusing on all of the obstacles and distractions. They've lost sight of what their core business is. Selling coffee.
Not playing community activists and social justice warriors.
The label has a time stamp and the employees number.
Why hasn't Starbucks identified the alleged culprit (at least internally if not publicly) and why haven't they announced the person was fired?
Sometimes they dont hear the name right. Probaly what happened here. The vowel sounds in the Peter and Beaner are the same.
I’m betting the guy told them his name was beaner.
Guarantee that’s the name he gave ‘em, but other than that...FUStarbucks.
Starbucks caved on the last issue, now they are open game for settlements. Just like Denny’s.
It’s not a huge stretch of the imagination that “Beaner” and “Peter” sound similar, if it’s noisy and perhaps Peter has a heavy accent. That the order taker typed it into the system seems to make this a more likely scenario.
A couple of Black guys violate the trespass law and essentially get $150K.
A Mexican doesn’t even violate the law, is actually a paying customer, seems he should get double......$300k.
I’d like to thank Starbucks for all the laughs. I am looking forward to a hard drop in your stocks....that should be hilarious.
Thank you Starbucks.
Hard to believe a milenial Starbucks barista would know the term beaner. It is so o,d and outdated.
I'd have written "hasta la vista...baby".
This is a scam just like the two Black women who sued Southwest Airlines because one of their flight attendents sung this little ditty! “ Eeenie meanie minee moe, take a seat we gotta go!” Liberals, particularly minority Liberals have honed “being offended at just about everything” into a new political science.
The answer to The Starbucks Problem is for people to stop going to Starbucks.
