Starbucks now says that time-stamped footage from the store at 6332 N. Northwest Highway does not show any of its workers writing that message. Instead, the note appears “to have been added after the beverage was handed off, likely by someone else,” a spokesperson told Block Club.


Garretson wrote that a relative, whom she later identified as her mother-in-law, ordered the Mint Majesty tea with two honeys — an order known to be Kirk’s favorite drink — from the Starbucks. When the order was completed, the cup had “Loser” written on it, Garretson said.


“I’m talking 5 p.m. today, I want some form of action to the employee that represents this business that wrote ‘Loser’ on my mother’s cup,” the man, who is not seen on-camera, can be heard saying in the video, which was posted Wednesday.

“We’re looking for not corporate bureaucracy. I want immediate accountability; and if not, I will have this whole intersection lined with patriots today, I’m not even joking,” the man told a Starbucks employee.

What an emotional response jesus. Guy sounds like a loser.

I love how these fucking hogs have zero problem lying through their teeth about shit like this. Presumably because in their mind they know the woke Starbucks employee they decided to target definitely did do this at some point and was just never caught. So it's not that he is lying, he's just exposing the crime that's already there and nobody has caught before.

Anyone going to or working at Starbucks must be a millennial loser.

Nevermind that Millennials, a favorite scapegoat of the Right for their expensive coffees and avocado toast, are approaching their mid-40’s.

So of course the wannabe victim-of-the-violence-of-the-left heads to a Starbucks, home of the Christmas Cup war on Christians, Millennial overspending, and pledges to donate to human rights issues, to make an attempt at stirring the shit.

And besides…the “victim” had Starbucks points they had to use before they expired.

Ehhh, as a millennial is this attacking me or defending me?

Edit:also some of us haven't hit 40 yet

Defending by mocking the ridicule of the Right because the right still uses the millennial generation as the butt of many generational jokes despite the fact that the generation is hitting 40+. “Millennial” is a stand-in for any generational trait they don’t like or want to make up.

Sure, not everyone has hit 40…but the leading edge of the generation is past 40.

Many have pointed out that conservatives believe liberals are doing $heinous_thing, so they're justified doing the same. In their mind, lies like this are simply self-defense.

For example; They believe almost all political violence comes from the left. When they strike out, they're defending themselves against an aggressor.
