Starbucks has issued a statement that clarifies his company’s policy after a employee refused to write a customer’s request to write Charlie Kirk’s name in his cup.
The murder of Kirk, a 31 -year -old, a right -wing political activist, on September 10, has polarized a now -divided nation and has sparked controversy over free speech across the country.
In a movie now, a woman’s virus, a woman claimed “Starbucks refused to write or say Charlie Kirk’s name. I never talked about politics, I just mentioned her name to write it in my cup to respect her.”
The clip shows that the woman is in a California-based location from the popular coffee chain to order a mint tea with two custom starbucks pots.
When he was asked to be a name for order, the woman says to Barista, “Charlie’s name is Kirk.”
“We can’t do political names but this [the register] Didn’t even ask for a name, so it would be $ 3.75. “Barista responds with a smile.
Then the woman shoots back and asks, “Well, can’t you write the name on the cup?”
Barista replies: “I can” Charlie? “Write, and question this woman why she can’t write the full name.
The worker explains: “Because this is a political, before the woman tells her” forget her. I don’t want it. “
“Barista went to my husband and gave him drinks instead of using the name” Charlie “,” the post said in a subtitle. “He is the one who has put forward” politics “if he said” good “, then wrote the name, no policy was mentioned.”
Starbucks has since released a statement on social media outburst about its hypothesized policy – a Barista launch that does not write the name of crack in the process.
“There is no restriction on customers who use the name Charlie Kirk in their order, and we follow up with our team,” the company said on Tuesday.
The next day the chain follow a longer statement, which reads: “Starbucks is a company made in human communication. Having a name, instead of a number, is connected to the customer’s order, for decades has been the main part of the Starbucks Coffee House experience for decades.
“Most customers use their name,” he continued.
“Over the years, we have had cases where some people have tried to abuse the system, for example, they have presented something that is by no means a name, but a political slogan aims to scream at it, because they abandon the finished drinks, and in some cases, they have been named.
“Our goal is to be a coffee shop that everyone is welcomed, so we have already provided guidance to our partners to ask the customer to use another name when trying to use political slogans or phrases instead of their name,” he said.
