Maybe they just need to fire somebody...
Gee...
Maybe a public proclamation by the police departments across the country to the effect of: “We Will No Longer Provide ANY protection, answer ANY calls, nor respond to ANY requests for Assistance from any Starbucks Location” would be appropriate.
Let them fend for themselves in the jungle.
I’d personally love to see a Peet’s or a Dunkin’s in the Tempe area offer these officers free coffee for life, in uniform or not. Maybe even do an ad featuring the “Fearsome Fivesome”.
BTTT!
For an afternoon?! How about a week so they can be taught US civics, respect, and so forth.
I think they need to offer free coffee and snacks forever to all police officers.
And special gifts of Starbucks coffee beans to the particular officers who were mistreated, along with sincere apologies.
Not the first time that Starbucks has had to have a special training day to get their employees up to speed with something that is common sense to most people.
Can’t they hire people who aren’t stupid?
One of the Starbucks in Prescott Valley AZ occasionally hosts the monthly Coffee with a Cop so they do not need to close for a day.
It won’t be popular here but I disagree completely. Forcing a private company to do things out of “respect” is un American. It happens to conservatives all the time remember? Forcing gay cakes, etc. Let the market decide. If police officers choose not to go to Starbucks Coffee as a result of this then so be it. The market will speak.
No disrespect intended to the LEOs, but wouldn’t street-smart cops choose to have their caffeine in a place less infested with hipsters and other low-lifes?
As a conservative, I wouldn’t be caught dead in a Starbuck’s. Down here in southwest Florida, I’d sooner have my cup o’ Joe at McDonald’s, Dunkin’, or Krispy Kreme.
Star*ucks doesn’t want our business, dontyaknow
These cops must be paid too well if they can afford to buy that overpriced asphalt remover.

If I were one of the Police Officers, I would say call 9-11. In reality,we live in a society where I would never go out to eat in any uniform or conservative political hat or shirt. They will spit in food and give a hard time. I weep for this nation.
If I was an officer, I wouldn’t want to go to any place that has shown hostility to the police. They would probably mess with the coffee.
I think this country needs to see a photo of the customer who complained and, also, of the Starbuck’s employee who asked the policemen to leave. In addition, how would you feel if you were a cop the next time Starbuck’s needs your help? This corporate fascism needs to stop.
You can bet your prayer rug that starbux will not close all stores for retraining. They will not fire the barista. They will not offer free coffee to all cops.
Because it’s run by America-hating leftists who hate cops too.
I hope that the people who starbux invited to hang out at their stores pi$$ and p**p on the floor in the “inclusive” bathrooms.
