EXCLUSIVE: Fired Starbucks manager Lola Rose considering lawsuit over ‘PIG’ cup fallout
NY Post ^ | December 4, 2019 | 1:05pm | Updated | Jackie Salo

“Not to discount the situation, and someone needs to be reprimanded for it but I feel like we could’ve handled this like adults, it created a very threatening situation for this store,” she said.

She spoke to her direct managers Thursday night about the incident and filed a report, but was notified the following day that she was being let go after nine months on the job.

“I was hysterical. I lost it, truly,” Rose said. “I was driving to get the money order to move into my first apartment. My whole world crashed in front of me. I begged them to let me speak to one of the higher-ups.”

Rose, who is a transgender college student, said that she had always wanted to work for Starbucks because of how they treat employees.

She applied more than five times to secure her dream job, which provided specialized healthcare for transgender people and offered college tuition assistance, she said.

Rose now fears how she will cover her hormone treatments and pay for her rent.

“It was supposed to be my guardian angel,” Rose said. “They were supposed to be there for me as much as I am there for them but it’s gone because a small-town officer was offended by something [and couldn’t think like an adult] and posted to Facebook.”

More from the article, which takes pains to indicate it wasn't her fault:

The company’s policy prevents her from taking back orders, but she offered to give the officers new drinks.

“I offered to buy the entire department, come up here and eat whatever you want to eat,” Rose said. “He felt that wasn’t good enough for him.”

Interesting that the content of the terminating call isn't detailed. We periodically see news stories about "oh the poor empathetic clerk" who offered "free" (not for the store owner!) goods which wasn't the clerk's to offer (policy is to give new equivalent product to a customer, but not unlimited whatever to others as a group). Even if the offer is backed by the clerk's own wallet, that puts the store in an untenable position leading to "well you gave free stuff to THEM but not ME and that's NOT FAIR" issues which end up losing money & loyalty.

She didn’t write it but her management style probably allowed it to happen.

Whoever wrote “pig” on the cups should’ve been fired on the spot.

But, per the article, this manager isn’t the one who put “pig” on the cups.

IF this manager is telling the truth, then he handled the situation responsibly.


100% agree. And whatever he was saving his money for was his own business.

Aw c'mon. This is Starbucks. She'd been there 9 months. They call everybody a manager after 9 months.

I’m guessing it was fired for offering more free product (as compensation for the offense) than policy expressly allowed, to wit: “I offered to buy the entire department, come up here and eat whatever you want to eat,” Rose said.

The time to forgive minor indiscretions is before you post something to FB, not after.

I’m not dumb but I can’t understand
Why she walks like a woman and talks like a man.

Well hell, since no one else will do it guess I gotta:

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like
Cherry Cola
C-O-L-A Cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said, “Lola”
L-O-L-A Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

Well, I’m not the world’s most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
Well, I’m not dumb but I can’t understand
Why she walked like a woman but talked like a man
Oh my Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

Well, we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
She said, “Little boy, won’t you come home with me?”
Well, I’m not the world’s most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes
Well, I almost fell for my Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her, and she at me
Well, that’s the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola
Girls will be boys, and boys will be girls
It’s a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world
Except for Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola

Well, I’d left home just a week before
And I’d never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
She said, “Little boy, gonna make you a man”
Well, I’m not the world’s most masculine man
But I know what I am and I’m glad I’m a man
And so is Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

Right on. His facebook post described the incident as evidence of the absolute moral decay and collapse of society.

Now that heads (some probably innocent) are rolling, he terms it a "minor indiscretion".

How considerate.

People should rethink visiting Starbucks, that creates managers out of self body mutilators who are mentally ill with anger.

It takes A LOT of internalized anger to mutilate your own body.

And then to make other people’s coffee! WOW!

And should she file a lawsuit, she won’t pay for it. It will be paid for...but of course! in classic liberal fashion...with other people’s money.
