What is it in the culture of Starbucks that leads to repeated occurences like this?

Starbucks is apologizing after two uniformed Riverside County deputies were allegedly refused service.

The incident happened Thursday night at a Starbucks location in Riverside, according to a tweet from the sheriff's department. Sheriff Chad Bianco tweeted late Friday that the "anti police culture repeatedly displayed by Starbucks employees must end."

The company contends that the deputies were ignored by employees for nearly five minutes.

"There is simply no excuse for how two Riverside deputies were ignored," said Starbucks spokesperson Reggie Borges. "We are deeply sorry and reached out to apologize directly to them."

Borges added that the employees who worked that evening would not work while the company investigates and takes the "appropriate steps."

This comes two weeks after a police officer in Oklahoma received an order with the name "PIG" printed on the side of the cups, which resulted in the termination of a Starbucks employee who the company says was responsible.

They don’t need to be able to apologize they need to be sued for discrimination and fined millions of dollars and they will quit hiring pussies to work at Starbucks!

They had a full blown sensitivity training because one manager asked a pair of blacks who didn't order anything to leave the store. Closed every Starbucks nationwide for a day. Meanwhile, this is old hat for a purchasing customer and nothing...strange.

Let's start with the job title: Barista.

That deserves a throat punch just off of pure douchery.

When hiring for a barista, you're not exactly looking for the creme de la creme of potential employees.

The Starbucks employees are writing checks their asses can’t cash.

Getting into a major PR war over serving some officers is a losing battle, even in California.


If bakers are expected to make custom products for people against their beliefs, a few jackoff baristas better be willing to make a latte for a cop.

I find it hard to believe that the customers or employees of Starbucks have any legit reason to have cops. They’re trying to score wokeness points.

There is a factor about geography. In Bossier (conservative land) our SB is full of cops and workers (Halliburton uniform types). The baristas are not political (although most of them have tattoos so they are probably troubled).
Everyone is treated with respect. And I've been going there for 20 years.

As a LEO myself, that company can go screw themselves. I have not walked in one in quite a while and will never go while wearing anything to identify myself as a LEO.

Their coffee sucks anyway.

This is what, like the 25th time something like this has happened? Some sort of anti-police stunt at Starbucks.

Their empty words and phony apologies mean nothing.

Nobody in their right mind should give Starbucks any business, overpriced coffee or those 1000mg of sugar diabetes drinks they sell.

Save your money, save your health, and stop giving your money to people who hate you.

Five minutes? That's discrimination now? Having to wait five minutes?

Maybe if cops stopped killing unarmed citizens they'd get faster service.
