Police officer says barista put a tampon in his Frappuccino. Starbucks employees aren’t so sure

An off-duty Los Angeles Police Department officer is accusing Target Starbucks employees of hiding a tampon in his Frappuccino.

In the hours since his accusations made headlines, employees and former employees of the coffee giant have been trying to disprove the claim.

The incident reportedly occurred at a Starbucks nestled in a California Target. Fox 11 reporter Bill Melugin spread the officer’s story on Twitter, where it caught the eye of Starbuck’s employees. The events outlined in Melugin’s tweets and accompanying story didn’t quite add up for some employees, who pointed out issues and holes in his retelling.

According to Melugin, the off-duty officer was halfway through his Frappuccino when he discovered the tampon. Due to his reported use of a “police credit union debit card,” it appears the officer believes the tampon to be a targeted attack. The local sheriff’s department, according to Melugin, is currently investigating.

Not ready to discount this, quite yet.

It’s Target folks, they let old men undress with little girls as long as they identify has female or some sex other than male.

Hell, it might even be a males tampon, it is a little difficult to tell these days.

Sounds like Target reveiwed the tapes and then handed them over to investigators so if someone did drop a tampon in a coffee it should be pretty obvious. My guess is that some dumbass cop decided to pull a stunt, but it’s always possible that it was a dumbass kid instead.

How does a tampon “hide” in a cup of liquid? It expands to become the cup!

The effect of this story, on me, is to cure me of wanting to drink frappuccinos. It will be good for me, as it will trim my calorie intake. Nevertheless, I resent reading it! LOL.

Hey, why not accuse, accuse,accuse? I’m all for the left getting a taste of it’s own medicine and having them lose their jobs.

It might expand, but not that much, not enough to fill the cup.

Given the amount of police hate and anti police attacks in the big Dem run cities, I wouldn’t go in to any Starbucks or fast food joint if I were in a police uniform.
There have been too many reports of tampering with food meant tor cops lately.

Bet you thought that was whip cream on top!

Kinda chewy, yes?

Yeah, it does seem plausible, I have to say.
