Starbucks apologizes after customer was bullied by employees for wearing Trump shirt

June 16, 2017 | | Print Article

At Starbucks, you get a double serving of leftist propaganda with your overpriced coffee.

That’s what longtime Starbucks customer Kayla Hart discovered when she was bullied and harassed by a group of baristas for wearing a Trump t-shirt in a Dilworth, North Carolina, Starbucks store.

Hart said when she walked into the coffee shop, the cashier laughed at her and sarcastically labeled her order “BUILD A WALL” instead of her name. Then, the other Starbucks employees mocked and jeered.

“They shouted out, ‘Build a wall!’ and shoved a drink at me,” Hart told Fox News (see video). “And then all the baristas in the back started cracking up laughing.”

Keep in mind that loyal customers like Kayla pay the salaries of these thugs who bullied her. Hart felt so humiliated that she walked out because she noticed all the other customers were staring at her.

“I just walked out because everyone was staring,” she said. “I don’t know what politics has to do with getting a cup of coffee. I just found it really sad that I can’t wear a t-shirt with our president without being made fun of.”

Kayla then filed a complaint with Starbucks customer service. The coffee giant later issued an apology to Kayla after Fox News contacted them:

We failed to meet this customer’s expectations of us, and we have apologized and are working directly with her to make it right. This experience is not consistent with our standards or the welcoming and respectful experience we aim to provide every customer who visit our stores.

Kayla said Starbucks also contacted her after the bewildering bullying. “This isn’t me trying to get people to stop going to Starbucks,” Hart said. “I just want it to be put out there so people know this is what’s occurring. I don’t think it’s right you should be humiliated for wearing a t-shirt with your opinion on it.”

Hart, once a loyal Starbucks customer, said she’s not sure if she will ever return to the franchise after the humiliation she endured. Hart’s encounter underscores the escalating leftist hostility targeting anyone who supports President Trump.

John Griffin, a professor at the Art Institute of Washington, recently said Republicans should “be lined and shot.” A few weeks later, deranged moonbat gunman James T. Hodgkinson did just that when he shot a bunch of House Republicans at a baseball practice.

Not surprisingly, Twitter slammed Starbucks for its bullying, saying the leftist terrorism has to stop.
