Kroger employee terminated after admitting to writing message, Starbucks calls act 'unacceptable'
An Ohio woman ordered Charlie Kirk’s go-to Starbucks drink on Sunday evening — and was startled to find a hateful message written on the cup.
Autumn Perkins, who lives in Middletown, Ohio, visited a Starbucks location inside Kroger and run by Kroger to order the mint majesty with two honeys.
When she received her order, she was shocked to see that an employee had written "racist’s fav drink" on the side of the cup.
"It's time for people to stop this nonsense," Perkins told Fox News Digital.
After speaking to the manager, Perkins learned that the employee admitted to writing the hateful message — and was subsequently fired.

Love that tolerance.
The hater was subsequently fired.
Yes! No “administrative leave with full pay while we investigate”
They have absolutely no self-awareness. None. Zero. Zip. Nada................
Love a self-thinning herd!
The good news is that they seem to have no self control. Perhaps it is a side-effect of the brain-washing.
Obviously.
A lot of this stuff is because people are more childish now, being immature their emotions and passions are always right at the surface, people react and express their sudden emotional wave in some sort of action, verbal, or spitting into food, fighting at the airport, throwing food back at a clerk, or in this case a clerk feeling like he/she just HAD to so SOMETHING.
We increasingly live in a society of impulses and acting out reactions.
The barista FAFOd big time.
I think I’d be more concerned about what was IN the cup more than what was on it 😏
Although I despise Starbucks, I don't consider this a good enough reason to sever your long term relationship with a vendor.
No company or organization can fully control their employees every day in every transaction.
I have despised Starbucks because of their woke policies and their coffee in my opinion is just horrible but if you have enjoyed their products and services for years you should not change that because of a single act by a single employee.
The offending employee was fired, that should be sufficient to appease this woman's feelings.

While it is good to see so many Leftist Idiots being fired, my concern is that these Leftist Idiots will now get money from the corrupt welfare system that is funded by the taxpayers.
Leftism is a multi-headed dragon that needs to be slain.
Kroger needs to give financial compensation to the patron for the emotional suffering that she had. Maybe $50,000 or more would do it. Let her lawyers work it out. Firing is not enough.
Name and shame.
Were they surprised that they got that when they went trolling for it?
The real question remains - why do people still patronize these leftist supporting corporations?
What keeps them from spitting in your drink? They are your enemy. Don’t patronize them.
Check the drink for bodily fluids and if found, file criminally and civilly.
So far as an employee doing something harmful to a customer - esp while on duty, I believe the business is held responsible.
Ii just saw a fat white college female screaming at Officer Tate that white people want to kill him because he is black. SCREAMING and almost jagged crying from fear.
Completely unhinged and scary. Schools??? Parents???? Social influencing?????
[[and was subsequently fired]]
Gee, what a shame.
People are free to say what they want, however, they are NOT free from suffering the consequences for what they say.
To Expose them!
