This holiday weekend my son an I were talking about where we purchase coffee. I've been a lifelong Dunkin Donuts man while my son, a young professional living in Chicago says that Starbucks is his frequent go-to coffee shop.
A police officer in Oklahoma was given a cup with the word PIG on it.That DD was on my path to work was true enough, but there is a Starbucks on my way as well.
Truth is, I've always felt out of place in a Starbucks, sort of like Paulie Walnuts in The Sopranos.
This story affirms my feeling, and it is not the first situation of this ilk for Starbucks.
I know, and the officer knows, that this is not a Starbucks corporate policy, it is only the action of impolite child.
The suspension might not be enough, this would be a firing offense in my business.
Applying a stiff punishment for improper behavior sets the correct tone for remaining employee moral and treatment of customers.
You would never see this behavior from an employee at Chick Fil A.
