Starbucks Again
So earlier this month, Starbucks allegedly fired an employee in Oklahoma who put the word "pig" on an officer's order, an order the officer was picking up as a Thank You to his dispatchers.
Then late last week, two Riverside California deputies were blatantly ignored for at least five minutes waiting to place an order at another Starbucks. The company insists this a was simply a customer service oversight and the deputies weren't deliberately ignored, but rather the employees were "inattentive." If you think that sounds like bullshit, you'd be correct as video shows others customers being served promptly.
One would be hard pressed to not think that Starbucks was run by assholes, employing assholes. Then you have yesterday's Sergeant test at McCormick Place, where there happens to be a Starbucks on the premises:

- So after [my fellow officer] got home from taking the Sergeant test at McCormick place...... She went on to tell me that the Starbucks in McCormick place refused to allow any officers in the shop because another event was being held by a group that “wasn’t comfortable around guns”!!!! I myself am tired of this shit!!! Starbucks has proven time after time they are not supportive of our officers.
Why anyone would ever go into a Starbucks unless it was for a call is beyond us. The coffee is substandard and the corporate structure is supportive of openly discriminating against the police. They closed down every shop earlier this year, supposedly to teach their staff not to be "biased" against freeloaders sitting in their shops, stealing their wifi, without purchasing a single item, but cops with money are openly disdained, mocked or refused service by Starbucks, even in a building owned by the City of Chicago.
Anyone spending a dime there is enabling the police hating culture. Fuck them. If you can't find an alternate coffee shop or a Mom-and-Pop operation that brews a decent cup of coffee, you aren't trying hard enough.
UPDATE: There are more than one in the building. The one on the testing floor was closed - which is amazing in and of itself. Who doesn't know cops drink coffee, especially midnight cops coming into a test?

Soy Latte Beta Cucks drink Starbucks filth. You know the kind, guys who have no facial hair and sit down on the toilet to take a piss. No self respecting Alpha man with any testosterone in his body drinks that crap. Try a mans coffee, Black Rifle! Your welcome.
I stand with Law Enforcement! I have already stopped spending my money at Starbucks! They hate everyone they cant control ! F'em.
If that's true I would publicize what they did on social media. Not everyone was carrying yesterday or were in uniform or if they had their weapon it was concealed..so I don't get that? I am keeping my business at good old double D. F$*k Starbucks and their $6 cup of deliciousness....I will miss peppermint mocha.
I agree, I work with officers that wait till they get to work, just so they can goto the Starbucks on Taylor Street. Are you telling me that you can’t stop on your way to work and grab such as Dunkin or somewhere better.
I had bullshit training this week and observed more than a few officers carrying a cup of that garbage. Don’t even get me started on the police fans of the stupid ass NFL. It’s mind-boggling.
Guess I didn’t see this or realize this because I haven’t patronized those bigoted franchises in years. At the same time, of I believe it is illegal to park in front of most of them and also illegal to block traffic & walkways trying to get into the drive-through of theirs. How many Parker’s are needed to work VRI?
I would say short of other people getting served being ignored at Starbucks is business as usual in my experience. My wife likes them and I can't understand how anyone in their right minds would go to a store that doesn't seem to want their money.
Anyone asked to leave after the test should be notifying corporate to make a complaint. They tend to take this sort of thing pretty seriously.
SCC, it's sad but true how we are our own worst enemies. How many cops subscribe our buy the Scum-times or Tribune while they constantly attack our profession? How many buy Nike products after they paid Kapernick for insulting us? How can we blast the citizens of Chicago for continually voting Democrat while we actively support our enemies? We have demonstrated that we are the dumb ones, not them.
I wouldn't even go there for a call. Police are under no duty to respond to any calls for service (US Sup Ct), so fuck 'em. Give them exactly what they want - no cops.
Get some Black Rifle Coffee, make your own - keep it in a nice mug for the day. Or grind some, get a Keurig refillable pod on Amazon, and make it on demand.
The one I go to seems to have an excellent relationship with the police that come through there. It is in Northwest Indiana though. Can't vouch for any other ones.
So Starbucks has groups that are uncomfortable around guns.
I will admit, there are groups with guns that can make people feel uncomfortable. Like those brandishing guns, yelling to get down on the floor, give us your money, you m*****f******!
The police are the other group.
Apparently Starbucks needs a few visits by the first group.
There exists a mom and pop coffee shop in my northside district that played the delay game with several officers after changing ownership. The message was clear and I never went back.
On another note, I will never forget the stunned look on the faces of the staff at the Lawrence/Broadway Starbucks when sauvignon got shotified in their shop.
He was nice and gave us drugs so we let him hang out.
Idiots... all the way around.
Fuck Starbucks !
Ok, this Starbucks shit with police officers is extremely upsetting. So it’s ok for them to judge people by the clothes they wear? I do have to say the 3-4 Starbucks I visit in Chicago while I’m working are nothing but friendly and the one frequented most often in my district will not except police officers money. In fact, they love to talk and are extremely friendly and grateful. I think this crap is by a few evil nasty people. I happen to like the taste of a strong Starbucks coffee but I’m starting to consider going elsewhere. I’ll just have to have DD put in an extra expresso shot for boost.
As a non-coffee drinker, this doesn’t affect me, but I cannot fathom why our people go to this place at all. Go to Dunkin’ Donuts or 7-11, or somewhere else that likes us. Fuck Starbucks. They’re like the Colin Kaepernick of the coffee world.
Well here's the deal....
It may well NOT be Starbucks itself or even its senior management.
The goal of the company is to make those BUCKS.
HOWEVER....
The "type" of employees they attract tend to be little commies.
You know...young leftist, hipster, smug, Bernie-loving goofballs.
In the end, it is the role of senior management to create and
maintain a corporate culture and right now that "culture" hates
the po-po.
So for the time being, FUCK THEM.
P.S. I never go to any Starbucks.
I am too cheap.
The owner, the board, the managers, the employees have been schooled by demorats, inoculated with the SJW mentality. The very intolerance and racism they exhibit is rooted in the history of the racist Democratic Party.
Not only should we not patronize Starbucks, but we should also tell our family members and friends to boycott Starbucks.
I haven’t been in a Starbucks in at least three years. The last time I was in an establishment I was on duty and I was the fourth person in line. The three millennials in front of me paid with the Starbucks app and went to wait for their orders. I paid cash and tipped the change out of a $5 bill. The tip was around $1.75. The manager with the Victorian beard was making the drinks and handing them to the customers. He was also discussing schedules with the order taker with the Victorian beard. The manager was pleasant and chatted with the customers in front of me as he called their names and pointed them to the cream & sugar. Now I’m up, and there are no customers behind me. His attitude immediately changed and he basically turned his back to me as he made my stupid iced Americano. He made a real effort to have a conversation with the other bearded fool who, I could sense, also felt the uncomfortable vibe coming from the manager. When my iced coffee was done he slapped a lid on it and slid it across the counter, past where I was standing. I could see that the lid was loose and leaking. He started to walk away and then flipped two straws at me as an afterthought. At this point I believe Dr Freud would say I lost my shit. I was not threatening or abusive, but I did start the conversation with, “Who the fuck do you think you are throwing a straw at me?” I don’t remember a lot of what I said but I did point out that I knew what was going on, I wasn’t stupid. That I had paid for my drink and I tipped unlike the dipshits in front of me that needed to take selfie’s of their sphincter to wipe their asses. I also told him I wasn’t spending five bucks to be treated like shit by a failed actor that didn’t know where his testicles were, much less how to use them. The whole time he looked at me with that insipid “progressive” look while mumbling some bullshit. At some point he walked through a doorway out of sight and I left. I will admit that I overreacted a bit. It was after Ferguson & McDonald and I was just tired of catching those bullshit looks everywhere I went. Now I won’t frequent anyplace that’s not staffed by Greeks or immigrants. I don’t need shit from some cow town asshole that went to a big ten school and is now enjoying an urban adventure. I’ve told a lot of policemen this story and I don’t think it stopped any of them from going to Starbucks. Now that I’m done ranting I’ll admit that I left something out. I immediately picked up one of the straws he flipped at me and, as hard as I could, I threw it back at him and hit him in the back of the head. It felt good, I liked it, and I had his attention.

What’s wrong with these police officers? Don’t you know they cannot refuse you service, isn't that discrimination, did you back down? The common sense response should have been we are not leaving, place our orders and call for on duty police to do a license check. Did somebody have a cell phone to tape this encounter? Oh and by the way our group isn't comfortable with that group that’s uncomfortable with law enforcement officers who are legally armed. We have every legal right to be here. If the other group cannot accept that maybe they can find another place to go to because we are not leaving. If Starbucks persisted in their unfriendly behavior I would find more police to come in for coffee and treat them to what ever they wanted. The more the merrier! Whatever you do, never back down. In Nov 2019 employees at a Buffalo Wild Wings in Naperville told a black family that they couldn't sit near a certain white man because he did not want black people around him. This was all over the news for days with the family appearing with their lawyer on TV. The employee was fired, the staff has to take sensitivity training and you know there will be a lawsuit.
I do not wish to appear ignorant which is sometimes hard, butt FUCK STARBUCKS and their shitty brew.
Just fuck them and the whole company.
Un-fucking-believable.
Starbucks outwardly embraces hate towards police. Yet the desk dollies love drinking that starbucks. If you ask them why starbucks they’ll tell you it’s “mainly status.” They call in a marked unit to go and fetch their favorites frapelattes. One can only imagine how the baristas prepare those drinks, has to be the special for a cop.
Enjoy.
Wait until they need help, which now seems to be a daily event. Hopefully the police will respond with the same courtesy and response time afforded to them. Starbucks customers,you’re on your own.
Generally speaking, the gold standard for a Starbucks employee is going to be a pink haired liberal arts graduate. Someone who went 75k into debt to get brainwashed out of their minds by criminally insane Marxists moulded in the likes of Saul Alinksy and Bill Ayers.
They are programed the doctrine of hate, grievances, and envy to be mindless, unoriginal, automatons. With no marketable skills and high competition for the typical cliche leftist nonprofit, they are forced to pull lates at Starbucks until they can score a gig at the next George Soros funded protest.
As a police officer, you are the enemy, a mercenary for monocle wearing robber barons. You are an obstacle that must be removed in order to form their utopian state where nobody has to work and everything is free. Of course they're going to write "pig" on your cup or ignore you! So let these gender studies geniuses have their safe space. Save some money. Brew your own, throw it in a thermos, and take it to work if you have to, but please stay out of Starbucks.
It never ceases to amaze me how grown people can be intimidated by officers who are in uniform and armed.
I go to a small one off shop that’s right next to a Starbucks. I’m sure they’re all probably a bunch of looney progressives, but they give us half off, and the people working there are always really nice to me. The one girl has my order memorized, I throw her a few bucks and everyone is happy. Starbucks? When I used to go there, they fuck everything up anyways.
Hear, hear, SCC. Starbucks is swill, and employs ignorant cupcakes. I would be careful of ordering any food item if in uniform, or known as police unless I were 100% confident in their professionalism, or knew them personally.
Then help protest the Starbucks that’s being planned right next door to the 8th district
I have too much on my Starbucks card
So go anyways don't let them bully you.
their coffee sucks and so do they
This shit company r stationed in all VA Hospitals, if they hate the police i'm sure they hate the vet's we need to get there sorry asses out of VA Hospitals, the coffee sucks and the service sucks!
DD screw Starbucks!!
I do (did) enjoy Starbucks espresso based coffee drinks and could never stand Dunkin Donuts (like nasty shirt, sweat wrung tshirt water *yuck*) but Dunkin was always happy to see me, never tried to charge me (always pay or tip well) full price. Always
Totally agree. There are dozens of other places to buy coffee. I'll drive out of my way to avoid going to starbucks.
Why would anyone patronize them in the first place? Their coffee is horrible.
They have a very undisciplined corporation culture there. Howard Schultz started his anti-gun/ anti-authority philosophy there and the company can not shake it. Please do not buy anything from there. If you have to go in there, buy a cup of DD and bring it in with you.
Starbux is full of it. Libtard hypocrites hanging out to write their next screen play or have DL experiences with hobos. Fun fact; $tarbux pays a dollar a pound for the Ethiopian blend they sell for $26. The Skinnies have tried to get a better price, but the coffee cartel, of which $tarcrap is the leading member, freezes them out whenever they try to market elsewhere. Those feeling libs have no problem playing Bwana and keeping their erstwhile vassals in complete and utter desolation, and then have all kind of touchy feely crap on their website and in the stores about the good they do for the natives. Even King Leopold never tried to sell that line. Which produces pissed off farmers that can only tap their computer screens to see how badly they are being burned. And if they get a chance to get back at the now-hated Yanqui, the poor schmucks that have to operate in the part of the world have to watch for IEDs and snipers trying to even the score. The modern liberal is the greatest POS in the history of the world. They don't like cops for the simple reason that they are the only realists that go into that den of lotus eaters. Corporate would rather have some stores knocked off and have employees poked with AIDS (or worse) infected needles than have non-believers enter the sanctum sanctorum that is the make believe world that is a Starbucks outlet. Personally, I don't even bother when their crap is free on Vet's Day. Can't look at those pretentious baristas without cracking up uncontrollably. But someone has to hire all those PhDs in Philosophy and Liberal Arts though.
Why the fuck would you go to a goddamned Starbucks in the first place?
For at least three years now, I’ve been directing the homeless and mentally ill into their stores.
Hopefully their employees and liberal patrons get acted out on and there won’t be a Police Officer in sight.
Having worked in the coffee industry for 25 years, I will go to McDonald's or Dunkin' Donuts before I will go to Charbucks or Starburnt.
Dunkin donuts never has this problem fuck star bucks
Murphy, the failed candidate for 39th ward alderman, has posted support on his facebook page for both the ACLU and a Starbuck support day for them. I guess Starbucks collects money once a year for them. The only legitimate use for Starbucks coffee is to dislodge any stubborn fece that might be stuck in your innards. Starbucks does, however, provide the police with many opportunities tho, to ticket any hardened criminal that might choose to park illegally or drive in an unsafe manner.
Completely Agree
I'm proud to say I've never purchased anything from Starbucks. I've used their bathrooms downtown and always stop by for free coffee on Veterans Day whenever I drive by their locations.
Thank you. I ve been done with Starbucks for about 3 years now.
Over priced sub-standard coffee and disrespect for desert. To bad you can't refuse to enter starbucks if they call for your help. Nothing says you have to rush right over though. Take long enough so they have to handle there own problem and take your time taking the report after you lock the doors to insure their safety. F with them every chance you get. Post up outside and see if it turns customers away?
Which mom and pop coffee place makes a VENTI CARAMEL MACCHIATO. 🤔
Anyone spending a dime there is enabling the police hating culture. Fuck them. If you can't find an alternate coffee shop or a Mom-and-Pop operation that brews a decent cup of coffee, you aren't trying hard enough.
Labels: un-fucking-believable
Agreed, how anyone can consume that swill is asinine,and if you think rushing to a call there, other than a 10-1, is going to better the relationship you're outta your mind...
This story doesn’t paint the whole picture. I went to the same starbucks. This Starbucks was located behind the security perimeter of a Jewish convention. Understandably everyone had to go through a metal detector to get inside that area. I approached, had my jacket on so I had everything concealed. After noticing I’d have to go through a metal detector I showed the staff my credentials and told them I was getting something to drink and they let me in. Starbucks employees were not involved in who gets through security and who doesn’t. My guess is that the officers who got refused entry probably showed up with guns visible. The staff has to do their job and if they have restrict orders for no guns then they were right to refuse entry to off duty officers.
I'm going to go into a Starbucks with all of my "Support the blue" things I have from D.C. and sit there for a couple hours on my computer....and bring my own coffee from Dunkin Donuts.
Used to be Starbucks loved the police. Used to offer half off of whatever you ordered. I never took it, always left a great tip. What the hell happened? Starbucks better address this and fast. I would think that any gangbanger should know that Starbucks are now open territory for robberies if the police stay out of there.
Seriously people, get your coffee elsewhere.
Word to your Mother...
You know a few days ago I stopped a Starbucks manager for traffic.
She tried to get me to come into her store,
My answer was no thanks, I don’t drink coffee.
After the stop and tickets, I walked across the street to the Dunkin right in front of this Starbucks manager.
She just sat there in car until I came out of dunkin with my hot cup of Joe!
Isn't it fitting that chicago has the largest Starbucks store in the nation??
I will stick with my favorite dunkin donuts and get 2 for the price of 1 and taste better.
F*@K starbucks
Well said. Starbucks is a blight upon normal people society.
I been saying for the past 15 years that Starbucks is a liberal policy hating establishment. Why anyone you go there is beyond me. And the coffee sucks too.
Where will Sgt JG get his free coffee now???
I must preface my comment with this - I do not drink coffee. I do not like coffee. I cannot tell the difference between the cheapest instant coffee and the most expensive stuff crapped out of cats. I cannot imagine paying $3 or more for a cup of coffee. That is at least $1,000 a year. So how did Starbucks become such a thing and make the owner a billionaire. And create this class of people known as barristas. End of rant.
I wish Black Rifle Coffee had a store in Chicago
Was never a fan of eating out. Afraid of employees spitting in our food.
I wouldn’t put it past those snowflakes.
Read the story about the Black Rifle Coffee Company after the Oklahoma incident. Won't purchase any other brand nor will I ever rush to (over 15 mph) any call for service at any starbucks ever.
Try black rifle coffee....hysterical videos..they mounted a chain gun on top of a prius.run by vets....there was a recent review on military.com
Any copper that still goes to Starbucks to purchase anything after all of these incidents is soft in the head.
Bring your own food and drink with you. I used to work construction before getting on the job, still use my steel lunch pail and thermos. I never eat out while on duty.....
Anyone who goes to Starbucks is an asshole. They must be totally boycotted. They are anti cop scum just like the sun times Chris fusco and Matt Hendrickson.
Exactly, I don’t care how “how good their blah blah concoction of coffee is”. They openly don’t want anyone with a sense of reality in there. Why woujs you give that Socialist company any of your money!
Hey Starbucks you lie, are biased, disrespectful, deceitful, prejudicial, provide piss poor customer service and you're hateful of local, state and federal police officers/law enforcement officials. Your cooperate strategy and business model is terribly flawed. Your employees reflect your company values and follow the culture established by the Seattle based Howard Shultz, Starbuck's CEO and Chairman of the Board and Kevin R. Johnson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Starbucks. BTW: this is the same Howard Shultz that was running for President in 2020. He lasted four months before he folded his tent. He couldn't keep up with the current list of jerk off Democratic candidates. That should tell everyone all they need to know about Howard, the "bust out" lefty.
These are the leaders who allow this type of bias to exist as part of its company culture. Your employees are what you are. They reflect you Howard. The left consistently carps about this when it doesn't fit its liberal thinking. No one should buy any product from Howard's company - Starbucks.
FOP make some noise and go public with this one sided despicable company. Why does this blog always have to do the heavy lifting. Get your fat asses into gear.
Anyone reading this blog, law enforcement, fire, first responders and citizens should boycott Starbucks. Go to another store to buy your coffee and related products.
Let's invite Howard Shultz and Kevin Johnson out to Gloria Jean's for some great coffee and let them eat a "shit sandwich". They richly deserve it.
I complained to Starbucks last time it happened to POs and received long Email on how they (Starbucks) value their customers and said that such incidents are not typical.
I suggest that they close down all their stores for a day and spend time going over how valuable police officers are and that guns don't jump out of the holster on their own, run around the store and start causing trouble.
They should also go over how having a police officer frequent your business is protecting the employee from those who have bad intentions.
There is a veteran's coffee company name," Black Rifle" if they could bid to open shops in VA Hospital's and get rid of these fuckin haters of justice(Starbuck), and open shops to bury this seattle cop hate corporation.
What was the group that didn’t feel comfortable around guns? I wonder if they asked the manager/employee to bar to police?
You have to understand that these companys that are run by liberal assholes, teach their employees the same culture and beliefs as them, then you wonder why the world is going to shit!
I haven't given my money to Starbucks in years. Not since the corporation refused to send coffee to US troops in combat in Afghanistan. I saw the Starbucks with its steel down. It was closed before and after the test. I didn't see the lights on or employees inside. But if you are a police officer and going to Starbucks, your are a weak sell-out!
It's a private business. They can select what customers they want to serve. I can understand why they might want to exclude uniformed police as customers.
I dont think this is some kind of corporate policy though. Just a few employees who for whatever reason dont want to have cops around.
There is definitely a change in the room when cops do show up, even if they are just there for coffee. Some people including a few employees probably find that change uncomfortable. It would not surprise me in the least if there are customers who just keep driving if they see a cop car in the parking lot.
ceo howard schultz is a big george soros and JLD supporter
f-ck starbucks i now go to either dunkin of panera bread nicer crowd there too.
Guys and Girls what the fuck is wrong with you? Starbucks is a Socialist watering hole they hate Trump and the police. Their coffee is shit and overpriced. Anybody that spends $5 for a cup of coffee is a moron. Remember some Starbucks employees drive cars and sometimes they break traffic laws.😉
Sad how coppers will still go there because they “need their coffee“, small example of if we can’t even get together on this, we are doomed. How do we expect to ever come together on the big things. Too many people looking out for themselves. Too much bitching, but not enough people willing to stand up and have some balls. Sadly, we need to look at how the CFD does it.
Never heard of any problems at dunkin. Many of them still take care of us.
Where is the freedom loving, reform minded, social justice warrior Mayor Leadfoot on this issue. Denying services to the Police at McCormick Place. If you don't provide equal services to one and all, then shut them down. Oh wait, its McCormick Place. The facility that "graft" built. The envelopes were already exchanged. Its the Chicago Way.
Come on FOP wake up. What we have here is a pattern and practice of denying police officers goods and services locally and nationally. Go public and generate some negative news on this biased and disrespectful Starbucks operator. If you don't stop it now this will continue and only get much more troubling for us. Look at what the NYC Police are dealing with.
Hey Beck, if you read the blog you should take note of the situation and bring it to the attention of all concerned. You and Groot talk always about building trust in the Community. You ain't getting squat from this side of the house with slug Starbuck business operations that are biased and disrespectful to us. Trust and respect is a two way street. Let Starbucks Corporate know about how this operator does business and delivers poor customer services. Talk about building trust in Chicago between the Police and the Community is a cheap commodity.
I wish black rifle coffee would open some locations. Pro military, pro police and American through and through. Everything Starbucks is against.
Amen. Fuck me once, fuck me; fuck me twice, well, fuck you, Starbucks.
I received a Starbucks gift card for my birthday but it’s going to the next panhandler I see. I’m done with them.
Go to a local coffee shop that will appreciate your businesses or Dunkin Donuts, coffee is much better.
After the first Starfucks proclamation that they HATE LE, we stopped all Starfucks. Haven't missed it. Boycott these assholes.
I am an old fart civilian who has never set foot in a starbucks. Some years ago a co- worker bought me a cup and it was some of the nastiest coffee I ever tasted. I can't see how anyone can pretend to actually like that shit they serve and may be why they have different flavored swill to add to it. Local restaurants used to serve local superior brand coffee which far surpassed starbucks. Even drunken donuts coffee tastes better. Starbucks probably adds emasculating plant estrogen laden soy products to it, and for that reason alone it should be shunned. Anything other than half and half just ain't right.
Agree 100%. Im retired suburban guy here. I see suburban coppers standing in line to get the free cup of shit from them though. Wake the fuck up guys, Starcucks are a bunch of asshole liberal cop hating jagoffs. Give them the police service they deserve and don't patronize that dump.
Real simple ban starbucks, and on your day off protest in front. I am 100 percent behind you guys retired for 4 yrs now, but you really need to standup for yourselves.
Copulate Starbucks and everyone associated with them.
While any Law Enforcement Officer would patronize a Starbucks is beyond me. What the National FOP should do is to call a news conference and announce that the National FOP is recommending that none of its member should patronize Starbucks. What Kevin Graham of the Chicago's FOP should demand a meeting with owners or managers of this Starbucks and demand a written apology to all Chicago Police Officers for this conduct. This is unacceptable. Besides, Dunkin Donuts is much better tasting and a whole lot cheaper.
Don’t worry, all of the secretaries with guns at HQ will still walk over to 35th & State for their daily dose of over-priced, sugary, police hating beverages.
First of all, if your still going to Starbucks you deserve what you get. Secondly, and you know it’s going to happen sooner or later, one of the Starbuckeins is going to slip something in the coffee just to make a name for him/her self (if it’s not happening already). Thirdly, if you don’t know how to fix their asses you shouldn’t be on the job.
And then you have Alderman Thompson cheering the building of a Starbucks in the 11th Ward on 31st and Halsted. Located right next to the 9 District and guaranteed to screw traffic up big time on a corner that is already hard to maneuver in. Add in that we already have two independent coffee shops within blocks of where Starbucks is going. With all the different businesses needed in Bridgeport, this is what we get. Because if Starbucks comes, then everyone will follow. Yeah right. And Starbucks should be booted out of McCormick Place. Tired of this crap.
As a civilian who respects our Officers, and seeing what Starbucks is doing, I never, ever will venture into their disgusting establishments.
I agree with you, SCC. Why would any Officer drink that crap? I see coppers going there all the time and always wonder why. I absolutely refuse to patronize Starbucks. I guess they would rather pay for over priced hippy coffee then stand up for what is right. But these are the same Officers who let the city and Department walk all over them and won't stand up for themselves.
Please let the MPEA office at McCormick place know about this incident but before doing so FOP has to launch an official protest with Starbucks which owns these locations, they are not franchised. Steve Georgas should talk with these McCormick place locations. They are not giving you free coffee and On duty police officers are customers just like anyone else. FUCK STARBUCKS.
They can go f--k themselves. I haven't gone into one in over 5 years and I'm not about to start now. Wake up guys and quit supporting people that hate you.
I don’t know why we don’t protest Starbucks. Also does anyone know what’s going on with Captain mike B acting commander of 25? Heard some shit is coming down on him. Can anyone update?
Stay away from Starphucks.
How did the Starbucks at McCormick Place no she was a police officer or the police officers take the sergeants exam in uniform? How did they not know she was not part of the other function?

“Dump Starbucks!”
That's because Police Officers represent protection,help, hope,rescue, safety,security ,law and order for the People,...everything Starbucks doesnt want for the people that buy and that dont buy their way overpriced horseshit coffee.
Stopped going to Starbucks years ago. Their coffee is awful and way over priced, and I am just a civilian. Found other places, to get my coffee. That is just my two cents.
Strange that a tree hugging, SJW company like Starbucks is never questioned about their participation in the deforestation of millions of acres of tropical forest for the benefit of constructing coffee plantations. I also question why any law officer would patronize Starbucks in the first place? Oh, wait! That would require self control! Gotta have that coffee!
For at least the past year I have bringing a thermos and a travel cup to work after brewing my own coffee at home. FU Starbucks.
FOP & PBPA pay attention. Why aren't you filing complaints with both Starbucks, McCormick Place and the city's consumer affairs department? If that happened after the Sgt's test then it is blatant discrimination.
You know they hate your u what go there
Nasty coffee period, it's all loaded with creams, sugars and other crap to cover the nasty roast and cheap labor from India. I stopped going there over 2 years ago. DQ, Marianos and some areas in Pilsen have good fresh brews.
Starbucks outwardly embraces hate towards police. Yet the desk dollies love drinking that starbucks. If you ask them why starbucks they’ll tell you it’s “mainly status.”
I assure you none of the "desk dollies" in District 10 are drinking Starbucks.
Should have a national law enforcement boycott Starbucks day
I have to be honest here. I have never has a problem with Starbucks. I have had many a cup of free coffee there over the years in uniform. I don't know if I was "intimidating" any one. To be honest I don't really care. People in our society need to be reminded that they are being protected by men (and women) who carry guns.
I even met a lady in line from "Corporate" Starbucks offices once who saw me in uniform and tendered me a free Latte on the house.
I see the news stories and I am aware that the employees are the problem in most cases. One good thing about Starbucks is that there is lots of turn over in their staff at the retail level. If someone doesn't like you, or you don't like them, wait a while, and they will likely be gone...
I like their coffee, and NO silly boycott will keep me from my favorite CupOjoe… Remember that you are an Ambassador when you go out in Uniform, and treat people like you want to be treated, and they will most likely respond in kind. The bad guys always will differ in their behavior. That's how we can spot them.
It's simple really....
Aside from their liberal agenda, I really don't understand how people willfully pay to drink their coffee. I could eat some coffee beans, take a laxative, and shit out liquid that would still be a few notches above the taste of Starbucks.
Not only should we not patronize Starbucks, but we should also tell our family members and friends to boycott Starbucks.

Nespresso here I come mi (new) amore XD
I’d like to see the Natl FOP take a stance on this trend.
Somehow the Corporation made it their mission to hire more than the standard allotment of weirdos, then again it’s Seattle lib stank.
Tainted policy and politics. They won’t change.
The unhinged have an agenda and its about the best paying part-time job for otherwise unemployable liberal arts/communications public college graduate.
I was a daily visitor since they opened in the early ‘90’s whether on my Beat, when working SpecEmp, Details, RDO and bought bags for at home. Most places I never had a problem, 001,012,013,019 but that was 10 years ago and since I left the uniform.
The nasty folks and blatant poor service ever was the one by HQ on 35th and E. 55th in Hyde.
I no longer buy Starbucks since that April 2018 incident when they wanted police to bounce freeloaders.
They pandered to hostile pinhead protestors, blamed police action, made an excuse for their employees.
I expect Starbucks to make some sort peace offering (again) but firing the deranged assholes isn’t enough.
I wouldn’t trust their employees anymore.
Stay out and keep referring pissbums there.
Keep in mind, McCormack, retail stores, grocery stores and airports are not SB Corp kiosk operations, they are contractors using the SB license. They are employees of the venue and not actual SB employees. That nastiest is homegrown.
Thanks to obama and the Democrats, EVERYONE has an ax to grind with the Police.
if you like good coffee, buy a kuerug machine for your home. I never buy starbucks pods for my unit.
Same with the NFL. Fuck them and their open hatred of law enforcement. Yet coppers continually spend shitloads to support them. How many NFL players went to an officers funeral? Zero. I counted about 6 Blackhawks players at Paul Bauer’s funeral.
WTF happened with the CPD and ISP army rolling down Caldwell yesterday around 1300 hrs?
There's been a trend around for guys to be hyper groomed
just like women. The plucked and slashed eyebrows, the
sidewalls that never grow in, the "product" in the hair, the
perpetual staycation to afford 26 barber visits every year.
You seen 'em around. Servers, waiters, cashiers, police,
fire, you name it. So when the tide goes out and the flotsam
is exposed inside a Starbucks, we're neither surprised or
shocked. American men strive to be managers of a shit
show and be paid a pittance of what they could earn had they
bothered to bust a grape.
If this is true about the Starbucks at McCormick Place they should be sued for discrimination.
Geeez, how much abuse are people going to take? What’s the next level, will they go from insulting behavior to tainting coffee with foreign matter?
Maybe people are better off just buying a thermos and making their own coffee. That way, you are sure it will taste good, and know some lowlife Starbucks employee is not spitting in your cup.
If enough good people did this, it would put them out of business.
By the way, their overpriced coffee tastes like shit, like it’s burnt.
If your drinking a VENTI CARMEl MACCHIO your manhood comes into question. Grow up sissy.

That is just a natural reaction, because they are criminals.
I have yet to have a negative experience at Starbucks, in uniform or out. The above comment is correct. There was extra security for a Jewish convention of some sort, understandable because of the NJ event. The Starbucks was behind a security checkpoint, and the fault here lies with either the officer not understanding the situation or the extra security not being accommodating to the officer. Not Starbucks, though...
Starbucks needs this type of media attention to push their liberal agenda and gain profits from it.
I’ve easily gotten coffee in 30 or more Starbucks while I’m uniform I’m my 20 years and have never had an issue. My home Starbucks is wonderful to the police. And the coffee is the best. I’ll keep going daily
If you like Starbucks that much, maybe buy a bag at Costco & make your own at home. Also, be kind to those less fortunate and give out Starbucks cards to those less fortunate & living in tents by the underpass. The Starbucks will be full of customers that are less scary than law enforcement officers. :)

Murphy, the failed candidate for 39th ward alderman, has posted support on his facebook page for both the ACLU and a Starbuck support day for them. I guess Starbucks collects money once a year for them. The only legitimate use for Starbucks coffee is to dislodge any stubborn fece that might be stuck in your innards. Starbucks does, however, provide the police with many opportunities tho, to ticket any hardened criminal that might choose to park illegally or drive in an unsafe manner.

But all the millennials on this job are looking for safe space and frozen mocha crappuccino.
I’m tired with these young kids they are afraid of their own shadow, in the car they acting all tough but when you have to take some action with simple arrest from domestic you can tell how they visible shaking.
Love Dunkin Donuts !!!!!
Starbucks sucks !!!!!
star lounge on chicago for the dark matter cup. their roasting is excellent, they can make any fooofy crap imaginable and are friendly to every leo that enters.
It is from THIS BLOG that I learned of Starbucks. I've never fancied paying $7 for this crap, tipping, having a #Race Matters cup shoved in my face, or their politics.
All I want is a coffee. The Folgers instant works fine! Too, for $1, you can get chilled/cold coffee in a glass jar from the Dollar Tree. Different flavors. You, as police, nor anybody, for the matter doesn't need to be crapped on......over & over.
They can take their Seattle Culture and Portland (ANTIFA) politics and shove it!

I can’t speak for starbucks, and wouldn’t, but I can speak for at least a few of “that group who are uncomfortable around guns,” to say that several of them wished myself, and others, good luck on the exam as we walked toward the check-in point.
To 12/15/2019 01:50 AM. You reacted PERFECTLY. And you were spot on. If you’re a college graduate and you serve coffee or juice you have made a serious career error. ♠️
What’s wrong with these police officers? Don’t you know they cannot refuse you service, isn't that discrimination, did you back down?

Hey dumbass, learn the law. NO business is required to serve anyone. A business can refuse you based on your age, race, gender, profession, etc.
You probably should boycott all of them, regardless of whether some of the individual ones are nice to you.
Here buy your coffee from these guys... who else can do Christmas carols with a fully auto rifle.

Hey snow flake,,,,,,just go someplace else and get a coffee. Your liberal sounding drink of choice supports an anti-police business
"Kicked out of starbucks for Trump" or "Police kicked out of starbucks" will reveal MILLIONS of PAGES of Anti-Police, Anti-Trump matter.
What's so difficult about a cup of coffee?
Well, now these BASTARDS, and that's what they are, refuse/refute police,add #RaceMatters to your overpriced coffee, and expect a tip. So, because they are that stupid to work for low wages, YOU, the over payed, "I pay your wages" public servant should subsidize these SOB's?
Folger's Instant works fine. Too, Dollar Tree has $1 coffee jars. A "Jet-Alert" pill will be ok and you don't have to go to the bathroom all the time. Dollar General for those. All you need is the caffeine. Not the politics.
Add the fact of the BASTARDS at Arby's a few years ago, "police kicked out of Arby's" https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/pembroke-pines-arbys-reportedly-refuses-cop/63398/ or a few weeks ago, in NYC, where a POLICE OFFICER bit into a sandwich, and there was a RAZOR BLADE!!!!!!!!!!!!
THESE PEOPLE, if can call them that, ARE NUTS!
https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/nypd-officer-razor-sandwich-bodega-bon-appetite/2237383/
These people coming up now are different! They come from a dumbed down education, think differently, waaaaay different values, God-less, broken families and because YOU have a job, YOU have power, etc., they are envious and hate you!
YOU ARE WHAT THEY ARE NOT!
In my own case, I vote with my pocketbook. I heard Starbucks, Ben & Jerry's, Arby's,
etc a long, long time ago, and I heard them THE FIRST TIME!
The "apology" and crocodile tears an go elsewhere.
Too, how many Starbucks are in inner cities?
I thought you lead by example. At least it used to be that way.
NOT ILLINOIS. NOT LAW.
Starbucks? Never heard of her.
I get the Liberal Creatures back all the time. Whenever I go out and see the Gender Neutral Bathrooms I make it a point to use those bathrooms and I piss over the Toilet Seats. That my Payback to the Liberals. Its the little things we could do.
Never take another piss bum to detox or a raving mental to Lake Shore or a stinky homeless to a shelter. Just drop them off at the nearest welcoming Starbucks.
My sister worked there for a time she calls it "diabetes coffee," the sugar they use in the syrups is overwhelming and the prices are so expensive for that shit coffee anyway! Coppers take stupid chances who knows what they could add,as a matter of fact if I cannot completely observe them making food,coffee anything I quickly go elsewhere!
But then again the majority say 98% of the time bring my lunch,when I shop never in uniform even at grocery store if you prepare it you know what y put in,and bought a large thermos make coffee at home cost to fill huge thermos about 12 cents for an XL cup! You can buy better coffee like Dunkin on SALE IN THE 40-48oz BAGS FOR $13.00 Costco and Sam's club. You can make well over 100 regular size cups 1/2 and 1/2 creamer is $190 per quart so make your own. Then again if your a lazy millennial copper living in Mom's basement have mommy make it for you,your Pb&j sammich,milk and cookies for dessert!
Think I’m going to open the first cops only coffee shop. Free donuts with your coffee too. I’m serious, only to get in is show your police ID
I don't think it's illegal to refuse service to a PO. Being a PO is not a "protected class." A crappy business model? Yes. Political affiliation also isn't a protected class. So an employer can theoretically fire you for being a Republican or Liberal. They just don't say that out loud. Unfortunately, I don't see society coming back from this attitude of not being able to live with people you disagree with. They want you gone. Period. Anything less is viewed as surrender and defeat. You are the enemy.

I haven’t been in a Starbucks in at least three years. The last time I was in an establishment I was on duty and I was the fourth person in line. The three millennials in front of me paid with the Starbucks app and went to wait for their orders. I paid cash and tipped the change out of a $5 bill. The tip was around $1.75. The manager with the Victorian beard was making the drinks and handing them to the customers. He was also discussing schedules with the order taker with the Victorian beard. The manager was pleasant and chatted with the customers in front of me as he called their names and pointed them to the cream & sugar. Now I’m up, and there are no customers behind me. His attitude immediately changed and he basically turned his back to me as he made my stupid iced Americano. He made a real effort to have a conversation with the other bearded fool who, I could sense, also felt the uncomfortable vibe coming from the manager. When my iced coffee was done he slapped a lid on it and slid it across the counter, past where I was standing. I could see that the lid was loose and leaking. He started to walk away and then flipped two straws at me as an afterthought. At this point I believe Dr Freud would say I lost my shit. I was not threatening or abusive, but I did start the conversation with, “Who the fuck do you think you are throwing a straw at me?” I don’t remember a lot of what I said but I did point out that I knew what was going on, I wasn’t stupid. That I had paid for my drink and I tipped unlike the dipshits in front of me that needed to take selfie’s of their sphincter to wipe their asses. I also told him I wasn’t spending five bucks to be treated like shit by a failed actor that didn’t know where his testicles were, much less how to use them. The whole time he looked at me with that insipid “progressive” look while mumbling some bullshit. At some point he walked through a doorway out of sight and I left. I will admit that I overreacted a bit. It was after Ferguson & McDonald and I was just tired of catching those bullshit looks everywhere I went. Now I won’t frequent anyplace that’s not staffed by Greeks or immigrants. I don’t need shit from some cow town asshole that went to a big ten school and is now enjoying an urban adventure. I’ve told a lot of policemen this story and I don’t think it stopped any of them from going to Starbucks. Now that I’m done ranting I’ll admit that I left something out. I immediately picked up one of the straws he flipped at me and, as hard as I could, I threw it back at him and hit him in the back of the head. It felt good, I liked it, and I had his attention.
12/15/2019 01:50:00 AM
I hope you are happy, Starbucks has announced on their website that it will be getting rid of plastic straws in Japan in January of 2020. Your hitting the manager in the back of the head with the straw is now causing world wide repercussions!
You don’t need to go to Starbucks for that over priced horrible coffee. Just make some coffee at home and leave it on the warmer all day of just boil it, it will taste the same.
How about Krispy Kreme coffee?
Shop there if you must, but check out "10 Starbucks Hacks"
on Dave Ramsey website to screw them
For those inclined to brew their own, there is a new entry that deserves your attention - it’s call ‘Military Grade Coffee’.
It’s run by a vet who lost three limbs in combat.
He loves vets, active duty military and first responders. The coffee absolutely rocks.
If you like Black Rifle, you should give Military Grade a taste.
The City should terminate Starbucks lease at McCormick place.
I agree with poster's Starbucksbucksbucks coffee sucks!
I'm sure that many decent souls working at Starbucks appreciate the police.
BUT
The RESPONSE from Starbuck's Corporate is what is troubling! They shut down all their chains because the two wanted to use the bathroom without buying anything. Where is the outrage against the behavior toward our police/military? In fact they should provide free coffee to all in uniform. If they truly respect Officers.
Police Officers and military are being disrespected one too many times. I am done with bad coffee and bad behavior from Starbucks.
BTW There are Starbuck's at military bases. Military stand with our Officers.
My bucks are going elsewhere.
Heard black rofle is opening franchises. Band together to buy one lets all put suckbucks out of business.
If my memory is correct, this is also the company that hired illegals before americans and also disrespected our veterans. They regulary disrespect our police.
(Please correct if I'm wrong but I dont think so)
I go to Starbucks in uniform....to drop a deuce and that's it. I give the fakest smile and wave when I leave too.
Starbucks are operated by liberal millennials what was expected? The ones that like us are limited and it’s usually like 1 or 2 employees out of the many.
I send the homeless people there. I tell them they can stay as long as they want. It's against their policy to kick them out.
StarYucks!

I used to go to Starbucks occasionally, but stopped after the Arizona incident...
Yet most of you guys and gals will continue to vote for democrats.

Way off subject but talking to a friend from HQ at test and he said Eddie went to Africa. This can’t possibly be true.
OT: as if we needed more confirmation that the media in general, & the Sun Times in particular are anti-President Trump.
Today I see a photo of a convicted pedofile priest on the cover of that "news" paper. Below it is a caption whining that he's going to be release 3 months early, due to a law signed by "PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP."
Now am I to believe that the priest is the only criminal benefitting from this law? Aren't the democrats IN FAVOR of decriminalization and emptying the jails?
I'd like to see a more complete list of who is actually benefitting from this law, but there's no way in Hell I'll spend a nickel on that second-rate newsrag.
The democrats are very afraid that they'll lose the next presidential election too. Galvanizing the Trump vote won't help these fools. Their desperation is increasingly apparent.
rb
Same people who buy SunTimes. The paper is beyond anti Police, but Officers still buy it.
Over priced crap
Sorry to go against the grain on this one, but please don't generalize to smear the thousands of Starbucks locations from a scattered handful of bad employees. I asked the manager of the Starbucks I regularly go to, and was told that cops, firefighters, and paramedics get free coffees there. As it should be. I've seen it. Oh, I don't know about the grande double shot blah blah blah. It is always possible that a new employee may not have gotten the word. And a Starbucks next to a station house might not be able to do it and stay in business. For everyone else - what is the safest place in town? The place with two cops in front of you in line.
I would not go into a starbucks and spend my money on anything they sell. For them to say to Police Officers In uniform that there is a group of people who are uncomfortable with guns then tell them to leav, tell them to go to Hell. We all have rights, don't go to starbucks and spend your money why let them treat you that way. Their rights are no different than yours. I served my Country and belief I can go where ever I want, I Earned that Right, and you can bet that I would not let anyone treat me that way.
Filthy pieces of scum. Never understood the attraction to that vile leftist douchery. They, can suck a bag of dicks. Oh, not politically correct, go fuck yourself. Retired, 3 years now.
Starblaauks gets its employees from the same labor pool as McD, BK, WC, DD, etc.
I haven't heard of those business' employees acting so blatantly anti-police.
Starblaauks must be training their employees to do this.
What’s wrong with these police officers? Don’t you know they cannot refuse you service, isn't that discrimination, did you back down?

The joint where I go for coffee is in a suburb.It is decorated in chickens,stuffed, cast statues and paintings. It costs a buck fifty for a never ending cup.It has about fifteen stools and seats for about thirty.It use to display caned possum, honest to god.The only bike riders are those who lost their licensee and are afraid to drive without one.It opens. at 5am every day, all the police who come in sit with their backs to the wall facing the windows, but you can tell something falls off them as they are greeted by the rest of the customers, a lot of whom look like the actors in the walking dead TV show.You would be surprised at the educated people who come in , just to avoid the assholes who infest Starbucks.
"It's a private business. They can select what customers they want to serve. I can understand why they might want to exclude uniformed police as customers."
I hope you're a troll.
Please admit your post was just to rile the police.
You can't be CPD.
I only go to Starbucks to use the bathroom. I never buy anything.
To the duce dropper while your smiling at them they are using the cup they spit in before you got there. Just had it waiting for the next uniform to come thru the door. Joke is on you, still smiling?
Come on wake up. Who are they hiring Millennials living moms basement. The CPS and liberal college has only prepared them to hand out coffee. This job is only slightly elevated from flipping burgers. So wise up or STFU about being mistreated.
My issue with Starbucks has more to do with the whole hypocritical bullshit. Poor schmucks in shit hole countries are being overworked and underpaid in order for corporate profits. Nothing new here, but the PC culture seems to be ignoring that fact. So when I spend a delightful turn around in Djibouti or any other shit hole with unhappy peons I have to watch my not only my wallet, but the rest of my body as well, as the locals equate any Yankee with Starbucks, or whatever other corporate entity that is fucking them over at the moment. And the same liberal pukes that protest for immigrants, climate change and saving the gay whales don't have a problem with their favorite toys, electric car and burnt coffee have no problem with whatever destruction it takes to feed their needs. Plastic straws are bad... But dumping toxic waste from their outdated sail fawns and prius batteries in Bangladesh is okay as long as an NGO tells them that their 19.95 a month will save the day. And if nasty old policemen come into their stores and ruin their buzz (baristas are all stoned), now all the passive aggressive energy has a focus. Anything to keep from looking in the mirror
The unsanctioned NYPD blog site Law Enforcement Rant is also critical of Starbucks:
Scroll down to "Enough with the Starbucks" at www.LERant@proboards.com
Have the national FOP put out a statement asking all police officers to cease going to Starbucks due to the all too often mistreatment of law enforcement officers. That should probably make them nervous, to think that police officers, as a point, will never be in their stores. Criminals love the no gun sticker, and places cops don't go.
National office of FOP needs to endorse a nationwide boycott of Starbucks. Make sure the legal parking is enforced around the business community. We can not wait for the politicians to support us. We must start demanding equal justice under the law for law enforcement.
If you are so troubled by your treatment report them to the Bureau of Consumer Affairs and the City of Chicago Commission on Human Rights. There is someone there to address your feelings.
This story doesn’t paint the whole picture. I went to the same starbucks. This Starbucks was located behind the security perimeter of a Jewish convention. Understandably everyone had to go through a metal detector to get inside that area. I approached, had my jacket on so I had everything concealed. After noticing I’d have to go through a metal detector I showed the staff my credentials and told them I was getting something to drink and they let me in. Starbucks employees were not involved in who gets through security and who doesn’t. My guess is that the officers who got refused entry probably showed up with guns visible. The staff has to do their job and if they have restrict orders for no guns then they were right to refuse entry to off duty officers.

Show up in groups just to piss them off even more.
For the commenter calling people: “Hey dumbass learn the law”. Please get some help for your anger problem, this is a public forum and everyone is entitled to share their ideas and opinions without being attacked. Then read this below from the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union). This is not an endorsement of them, just what they have posted on their website.
“For 150 years, states have had public accommodation laws requiring businesses that choose to offer goods and services in the commercial marketplace to serve customers equally. Once a business decides to advertise its services to the public at large, it gives up the prerogative to pick and choose which customers to serve – even when that commercial service involves some form of speech or expression.” (ACLU)
FOP are you reading all this?
Write an open letter to SB about this incident.
Reference all the recent nationwide incidents.
Then announce a CPD boycott of SB.
CPD will not enter a SB for lunch or personal,
offical police business only.
Get the state and national FOP involved too.
Someone mentioned Steve Georges, what a blowhard. I bet he gets his coffee at Starbucks for free.
I really limit my coffee shop visits these days...I think it’s stupid to pay $6 bucks for a mediocre coffee drink. DD is piss water in my opinion and honestly I’ve been to a few DD that had workers that didn’t seem to love us. I’ve been to plenty of Starbucks that aren’t anti-police. I think as with any place these days, it’s really dependent upon the environment set by management and a few workers. I definitely notice a difference in Starbucks depending where it’s located. Honestly, some of these posts sound like PR marketing for Black Rifle coffee (which aren’t located in many places). Hey, if that’s your thing - no problem supporting a business that is pro 2nd amendment and veteran, first responder/police, but let’s not create sweeping judgements of Starbucks based on actions of certain employees. Out those employees and demand Starbucks have a protocol in place for anti bias that applies to ALL. Not patronizing them is your prerogative. As far as free shit while working, I’d rather pay to avoid the stereotype of cheap ass that some coppers have abused. Hey cheap asses, did you ever think that you don’t get a big welcome in some places or that the courtesy freebies dry up because you abuse them. You know those guys/gals- the same ones that order extra large coffees, two donuts and a breakfast sandwich and then can’t even tip the poor minimum wage girl at DD a buck or two when his shit just cost about $10. The same people who leave shitty tips on 50% off tabs at some places. You know who you are and if you have the misfortune of working with these dickheads call them out on it.
Can you imagine a teacher in a red CTU shirt being treated like that?
" " " a person in a BLM shirt being treated like that?
Any one in a Rainbow shirt being treated like that?
National news for days, picketing at that new SB downtown,
blocking the doors, no one able to get in, ACLU.
FOP get involved: boycott SB!
The first 2 times I had Starcucks coffee was in Hyde Park in the 90's. I wasn't impressed with it and I wouldn't drink that fucking dog piss if they paid me $6 per cup. Wake the hell up! They hate the police! Why in the hell would you patronize that God Damned shit hole?

I rather have coffee at a 7/Eleven!

They are now. A few years ago some SJW wrote “FUCK THE POLICE” on the wall in the men’s bathroom wall. Officers complained to staff and were ignored. The member of a police family who lived nearby found out about it and asked the F2 manager to paint over it and she was a bitch and blew her off. The family member then went to the “mothership” on Western and spoke directly to the owner, Jesse Diaz. He was shocked that it wasn’t immediately painted over and sincerely apologized. It was gone by the end of the day. If I actually drank coffee I’d go there or the other Dark Matter locations around the city.
As a native Chicagoan and CPD supporter now living in the south Seattle suburb that brought you Anne Kirkwhatever her name is, it wasn’t too long ago that the ugly mermaid company was very supportive of 2A issues....so much so that there was a cottage industry of items that were adorned with the slogan I ❤️ Guns and Coffee sold at our regular gun shows. T-shirt’s, mugs, hats and stickers. In the not so distant past, there were regular Saturday morning gatherings at local ugly mermaid company stores of those who are open carry advocates. Wanna watch some millennial soccer MILF that’s in a “committed relationship” with some man bun wearing baby daddy with a degree in hurt feelings get their hemp granny panties in a bunch, watch the reactions when a bunch of pickup truck driving, big haired, cowboy boot wearing with Wrangler jeans cowgirls come rolling in with their Springfield XD on one hip and a baby on the other hip all while live streaming on Facebook with their Blackberry followed by their oil field working husband with a Custom Kimber 1911 in a cross-draw custom made all leather holster and dual mag pouch opposite, SOG knife in their front pocket AND a completely customized AR-10 (YES I said AR-10-we don’t screw around with the small stuff here) on his shoulder, now THAT is funny!! Screw the ugly mermaid, keep your hard earned money!! DD is just as good!!
Speaking of Anne Kirkwhatever, I just found 2 of my expired CPL’s with her name on them!! Who woulda thunk it??
Any chance I can get The Keesing Bandit’s autograph?? That one has the timing and delivery of Don Rickles!!
Seriously, stay safe fellas!!

They've got you. Their swill has molded your mind. You are now a Starbucks Zombie. You will soon be getting messages on your cup ordering you to do insidious things, like voting for Spartacus Booker, and you will comply.
