Employee SPITS in my Indian Friend's STARBUCKS!
    #8407771 - 05/15/08 11:35 PM (3 months, 21 days ago)

Dude, this is a totally un called-for and despicable cowardly act. Luckily he caught it before the coffee was drank. It was obvious tho. just straight espresso to go, nothing in it. Very GROSS. My friend was perfectly gracious and friendly; we come in infrequently.

He just chose to throw the coffee away and never go there anymore. We know the place is about corporate slaving, expensive, or whatever, and we probably shouldn't go there on principle. There are just a lot of minimum-wagers working there, and apparently a certain element of the 'backwash'. (pun intended)

So my friend orders his drink, and they make it behind these huge machines and counter, and the guy smiles and hands it to him as if being cool! the only reason i can think of for this is either :

1) Racism/discrimination: my friend is a dark skinned guy from India, also with a beard and unusual clothing. the guys there were white and a bit on the 'hickish' side (like a big boy with a toothpick in his mouth). not that I have anything against tho.

2) ITS JUST A BIG JOKE TO THEM: the vibe of a lot of those people working there is always loud and a bit hooligan-ish. i often think it disrupts the whole atmosphere there. caffeine must be a factor. but they are always laughing and making snide remarks when people leave or whatever, just loud. These younger people today seem ruder and more clueless than ever. They were laughing loudly and hooping and hollering as we walked out among themselves.

Can you imagine how gross to do this to someone's drink?

The worst part is that my fiend is the nicest guy imaginable from a small village in India where he lives in a meditation ashram. these guys run a free hospital for animals, and give out lots of free food there. It just seemed to gross him out and make him sad. He wouldn't even complain or ask for a refund. Its embarrassing to me to have people from here do that to him.

Anyways I did some searching and found related similar/incidents in many Starbucks in various places... all over...What's going on with the people of the world? Watch yourself, i guess, at Starbucks. Are they on some evil vibe? What do you think caused this? can you make sense of it? I know they are pumping the people with caffeine but...I doubt I will buy anything from Starbucks again... JUST GROSS!

I don't go to Starbucks more than once every couple years anyways. Who wants to pay $4 for a cup of coffee? Fuck that noise.

What did they have to gain from doing something stupid/repulsive like that to someone they didn't even know? Kudos to your friend for not stooping to their level and retaliating.

my ex went to starbucks every day when we were dating, about year and a half. the only time when she wouldnt go was when there was a seriously good reason not to go (like being sick, another country, etc), she never forgot though. on days when she didnt get her starbucks holy shit would she withdrawal

caramel light mocha frappacino with 2 added shots of esspresso blended in and with no whip cream.

Why isn't there any outrage when this happens to cops or servicemen all the time? Oh yeah, because they arent "normal" people like your indian friend and therefore arent as important. Get over it and suffer like the rest of us.

Usually because the cops become vigilante in their justice when it happens to them and beat the shit out of the employee; an option the rest of us don't have without fear of jail time.

Been watching supertroopers? They don't actually. Nor do they try to legally do something about it because they get taken to court by virtually every single person they arrest.

Because in that case, it is over a choice they made in their lives and not their race. I'm not condoning spitting in peoples' food though.

But you're right. People should just get over racism because sometimes other people are mean to soldiers and cops.

I think I really started avoiding Starbucks after that whole 9/11 thing where they were selling cups of water to emergency workers.
