I have no connection to this channel or youtuber. I ran across it this morning, and thought it would be interesting to FR.

What's the follow-up to this story? I doubt that such an action is legal, and I doubt that Starbucks accepts such policies in its stores. The employee should have been fired, and the cops should be getting their coffee from Starbucks whenever they please - is this not the case?

So far, not a peep from Starbucks corporate.

IIRC, in its so-called apology Starbucks referred to “public safety employees”, even though firefighters and EMTs have never been kicked out of a Starbucks.
Starbucks couldn’t bring itself to say police, law enforcement, officers.
That wasn’t an apology. It was further insult.

I'm glad to see at least that response. Think they'll shut down every store (agai) for a 1-day training class on how to treat police officers (or any other customer) that another customer is complaining about?
Me either.

I just dont understand any facet of this story:
A) Why would any customer expect their request to evict the police from any business would be honored?????
B) Why would any business evict the police(or any law-abiding customer) from their business just because another customer asked them to?????
C) Why would the police allow themselves to be evicted from any place of business???? Arent they the police for the love of Pete???

Of course, it was as predicted. The ceo didn’t go on national TV to do a mea culpa and grovel and beg forgiveness. He didn’t close the store to retrain employees. He didn’t offer cops free coffee.
(Poster now swears at ceo, using words that are not printable here, raising a finger as well.)

“I doubt that such an action is legal”
It’s effectively legal unless some of the cops are members of a “protected class” under state or federal law.
If they are just white straight men, then they have no recourse.

Starbucks couldnt bring itself to say police, law enforcement, officers.
To be fair, the article says that the references to "public safety employees" was made by the Tempe Officers Association, not by Starbucks. Here's what Starbucks said in their
letter of apology:
"When those officers entered the store and a customer raised a concern over their presence, they should have been welcomed and treated with dignity and the utmost respect by our partners (employees). Instead, they were made to feel unwelcome and disrespected, which is completely unacceptable."

I don't know - I hope Starbucks is smart enough to realize how much their stores depend on the police. In any event, I can't stand their coffee.

Are you allowed to pick one or more people randomly at Starbucks and have management kick them out because “you don’t feel comfortable”>
No.

Who do you call when a Starbucks is being jobbed? A ‘scary’ policeman? Yep!
