Tempe police reportedly asked to leave Starbucks

A group of Tempe police officers were reportedly asked to move or leave a Starbucks coffee shop on the Fourth of July because a customer felt uncomfortable.

According to a tweet from the Tempe Officers Association, six Tempe Police Department officers were drinking coffee before their shift at the Starbucks near Scottsdale and McKellips roads when a barista told them a customer "did not feel safe" by their presence.

The barista allegedly asked the officers to move out of the customer's line of sight or to leave, the tweet states.

"This treatment of public safety workers could not be more disheartening. While the barista was polite, making such a request at all was offensive. Unfortunately, such treatment has become all too common in 2019," the organization wrote. "We know this is not a national policy at Starbucks Corporate and we look forward to working collaboratively with them on this important dialogue."

Reggie Borges, a spokesperson for Starbucks, said the company is still gathering details about the incident.

"We have a deep respect for the Tempe Police and their service to the community," he said. "We've reached out to the Tempe Police Department and Tempe Officers Association to better understand what happened and apologize. We want everyone in our stores to feel welcomed and the incident described is not indicative of what we want any of our customers to feel in our stores."

Borges declined to comment about any disciplinary actions.

Starbucks Corporate seems to be handling the situation pretty well, but the barista never should have made such a request in the first place. The customer who made the request should have been the one asked to leave. One costumer compared to a group guaranteed to come in and buy coffee and donuts all the time? Sounds like a no-brainer.

Let bums camp out in the stores but don’t let law enforcement show up and get coffee.

Just unreal how backward this country is.

They should have told the snowflake that felt unsafe, that relief was as close as the exit door....

Lots of videos of cops shooting people or beating them, or planting evidence on them with no justification whatsoever. It's reasonable for people are scared of the cops.

Idk why anyone would pay 5 bucks for coffee that tastes like oil sludge anyway.

The cops should have asked what the guy's problem was. Then beat him senseless.

 

[skye]

What Starbucks did is disgraceful!

This incident shows that Starbucks has completely capitulated to the politically correct brigade of anarchists

The only thing between us and those thugs taking over the world are the police, God bless the police!

And Heaven help us.

They generally only shoot people who need to be shot. It is rare that a snowflake such as yourself will get uppity. You only tend to do that in gangs, when wearing masks.
