Couldnt the cop have ordered a small black cup of joe and hit the restroom while waiting for it?


I can't remember the last time I was in a Starbucks...but it nothing to do with a cop needing to use a restroom.

...until they got home and could squawk about it on the internet where it's much safer.

Lol Starbuck's folded....


"" A police officer in Philadelphia was denied
access to a restroom at Starbucks. His
account of the incident has gone viral,
prompting an apology from the company.
The complaint made by the officer caught the
attention of another police officer, who posted
the grievance to Starbucks' Facebook page.
From there, it was shared thousands of times.
The officer involved explains that he went into
Starbucks to use their restroom, but was told
by an employee that the facilities were for
paying customers only.
According to his account, "the young blonde
liberal behind the counter," smirked and loudly
asked him, "Are you a paying customer?"
As he was on his way out, the employee told
him about other restroom options nearby. The
officer regards her behavior as evidence of a
larger trend.
He writes, "It's hip for this generation to
berate and totally disrespect cops in front of
the public and praise cop killers as the heroes
of they're time."
Starbucks has since reached out and extended
him an apology. The company also released a
statement noting, "This customer's experience
was not consistent with the welcoming and
friendly environment we strive to create for
everyone.""

Now the libs will boycott Starbuck's

the dumbing down of America


if the company wants to fold, thats their perogative

the cop was a pompous crybaby,, imho

feeling upset that he wasnt given 'special' privilege as a customer,,,smh

thats not a special consideration, thats the job they are trained and paid to do


and they arent all facing special danger every day , depending upon their location,,, they are one of the SAFER professions we have,,,

was this starbucks employee a manager or someone with AUTHORITY to overrule policy?

if not, it wasnt petty at all.

with other paying customers there, its not smart to show preferential treatment to someone who isnt,,

he wasn't a customer...

What difference does it make? Starbuck's apologized for it so they think the employee was in the wrong. And, it seems, you are also. Sorry that "mean ol cop" got his way and it bothers you so much. Now YOU can boycott em. Im sure itll make a difference

#CopsBathroomHabitsMatter

Hell,if you got to go,you got to go!

I honestly believe this could have been handled way better than it was.

First I am going to take the barista which should never have spoken like that in a professional setting period.

The police officer that chose to post it on facebook.. {# 5993 reasons why I am not on facebook,, twitter etc}. That flamed the drama, there was a better way to handle this.


Now as to what their policy was or wasn't she had not right being rude she is in the hospitality industry good grief.


Now as to whether or not law enforcement, first responders, fire fighters deserve a bit more courtesy why not?? I understand the medical profession does wonderful things but they don't get shot at on a regular basis.

Somewhere the assumption that it is okay to take potshots verbally or literally at police officers has raised the bar a bit in my mind. There appears to be a trend starting and frankly it is disgusting.

As someone says they chose to get this training and they are choosing to do this. So does that mean we respect them less for doing a job that I don't want to do and so many others don't want to do?

Just because there are a few bad police officers should they all be tarred with the same brush not in my book I judge each person by their own merits.besides that I thought tar and feathering went out long ago.

The only other profession I can think of off the top of my head that willingly puts their life on the line is a Soldier and they do it everyday and that is why in my world I give them utmost respect.


As far as shopping Starbucks nope I have my own favourite barista and they fix my sugar free breva just fine.

I hope that particular Starschmuck's franchise, had the decency to fire the idiot who refused to allow a uniformed officer use of the facilities.

That was a dick move plan and simple and bad customer service. I know many places who have locked bathrooms for customers only but let non customers use them.

Not that I ever have been, or ever will be, a customer at starschmuck's...
Not just because, I don't drink coffee.
But, also because, starschmuck's is a known haven for libtards and other dirty hippies.

If, I'm a paying customer in any establishment, and have to ask for a key so I can take a piss, it'll be the last time I'm a customer there.

I guess it all boils down to respect, and it's a sad thing by all the comments here that people don't respect Law Enforcement. It actually makes me sick, less then 1% are dirty cops.

A perfect example, I had to deal with Sheriff's Deputies on four occasions today. One of the instances when they were concealing I know it was going to be a bad day and it would be a fisticuffs. I called dispatch before the crime was committed and asked if they had a free Deputy, as soon as I identified myself to them I had one there in less then five minutes, but that's not the end of it, a couple minutes later two more show up and the crime hasn't even been committed yet! This person was still in loading a duffel bag and had eyes on them. The three Deputies waited hiding outside the doors waiting for me to badge the subject (in California and Nevada we are the arresting party since we observed the crime, the police don't step in unless you attempt the private party arrest first). Just as I thought it went south really quick, I could have taken the person but why risk it?

Law Enforcement officers remember things and you develop a good relationship with them they go out of their way to help you.

I make sure they get treated with respect and give them special treatment and it has saved my a$$ a few times, especially when I tried to take my life last Thanksgiving, it was a Deputy who kept doing CPR until the Paramedics arrived, he basically kept me alive.

How come you don't hear about that on the news? Oh yeah I am white and the deputy was white and it also portrays Law Enforcement in a good way and the Obama Administration doesn't want that.

Also to prevent sex acts, and drug use in them.

I did say drug use dear.

And not giving special treatment doesn't mean disrespect sweetie

spot on.

wow, I advise you speak to some men if you believe apologizing is proof of belief of guilt?...lol

there is another reason people apologize,, to keep peace,,whether they are actually wrong or not
