Quote:Starbucks "Beaner" Cup Controversy refers to the public reaction toward the Starbucks coffee chain restaurant after a Latino customer reportedly received a cup with a racial slur written in place of his name. The company has apologized to the customer, but many compared the incident to another in which two African American men were arrested for sitting in a Starbucks restaurant.

On May 15th, 2018, a Latino Starbucks customer named Pedro received an order with the word "Beaner" printed on the cup as oppose to his name (image below).[1] That day, Pedro's co-worker Priscilla Hernandez tweeted, "One of our cooks went in to @Starbucks on Gould & Foothill this morning in La Canada & out of all the names they can put on his cup they decide to put “beaner.” We called & complained & their excuse was they couldn’t understand him. Regardless; there are MANY names you can put." The post (shown below) received more than 1,900 retweets and 2,500 likes before being deleted.

That beaner thing could be the start of some false flag operations.... could have mumbled his name was beaner an now he is looking to get a undisclosed settlement and some free college tuition for his emotional stress.

Earlier in the thread I touched on the fact this would be happening more often... people looking for their big break.

If this doesnt prove to you guys that Starbucks is gonna be just fine, I don't know what will.

The Latino cook that can't even say his own name still needs his iced caramel macciato.

That sonofabitch probably paid Carlos the jackal $5000 to get in this country, works under the table for 6 dollars an hour, but guess what?

Starbucks has him hooked, and hes giving them $6.75 a day for that shit.

Buildinfgg a wall is gonna cost customers.

RE: Two black men arrested in Philadelphia Starbucks
Look out for Starbuck's employees that are in on racist scams. Dollars to donuts this "beaner' incident was a set up. Starbucks will pay through the nose and the customer and employee will split the settlement. I can't say I blame the employees for screwing Starbucks over.

The employees are degraded by customers and employer alike for things they're not guilty of. They're sent to Soviet style reeducation camps for things they're not guilty of and quite frankly, they probably don't think about during their daily grind. Then on top of that, their workload doubled because they have to babysit and clean up after bums and other assorted low lives who aren't even customers.

Most sane people would quit at this point. Why not get a huge payout as you give your boss the finger.

Actually I would look deep into this incident. A manager who is into the full SJW transgender bullshit and corrects people's pronouns calls the cops on 2 black men after a mere 2 minutes? Isn't that extremely excessive even if they were loitering? Then they are picked up by their lawyer over some high-stakes real estate deal?

But my guess is that Starbucks did not even want to go there. Even if they found the manager to be in on the scam, that would reflect badly on the 2 oppressed black men and they would likely defend it vehemently, accuse Starbucks of even more racism. They would deny every allegation etc. Because the issue is this - you cannot legally go into call-histories and detective accounts unless it's a criminal case. The entire issue is actually legal - it's just a PR disaster and the men and the manager could feign innocence.

So essentially it's a perfect shakedown without committing a crime. One could argue that a civil case might be possible in terms of colluding in order to get a big payback, but even that would just massively prolong the PR debacle for Starbucks as they would fight with the men and the manager in court.

These are all the consequences of the anti-Western cult of Racism taught everywhere in our times since the 1950s.

I didn't look in the rearviewmirror as I drove away. It felt kind of like leaving Lassie by the side of the road.

I returned to Bill, and explained what happened, and we tried to figure out if this was: a) an innocent mistake, b) Babs being a 'thieving cunt' hoping to replace her broken phone, c) Babs being a Gutter Slut that Guy was pounding regularly and too embarrassed to brag about since neither of us wanted her; or d) if the situation did happen, was she using stealing Guy's phone as a stepping stone to get to either him or me.

Good stuff - you probably really used the Lenny alias I guess?

I wouldn't have picked her up the free pussy offer either. Too old, but even if good-looking, she is too close to home with potentially dangerous consequences. Women past a certain age can be very bothersome especially when they are with a man who they really find attractive.

There was a guy recently who got his face and eyes burned with acid, because he thought that it was a good idea as a 29yo good-looking bloke to date a 45yo woman. When he left her she went crazy. I will spare you the links to it - he left for a Dutch suicide clinic now not wanting to continue his wretched existence. What many men don't realize is that women past a certain age can make life very miserable for a man.

Of course that is also true for some bipolar young ones, but young ones have far more options and will move on far quicker.

Swung into a Starbucks today. Even in Russia they are full of homeless people and drug users. But on the up side there are platters of complimentary lemonade strewn all over the place.

Now it would be funny if they made a policy that people asleep get free coffee so they wake up. You'd just get a bunch of wired up vagabonds in Starbucks.

So how is the term "beaner" deragatory anyway?

Quote:Beaner is derogatory slang for Mexicans or people of Mexican descent. The term originates from the prevalence of pinto beans and other beans in Mexican cuisine.

Would "cheeser", "tomatoer", "onioner" "cilantroer" etc. be equally offensive?

Well... Fuck it. That didn't take long.

Told You: a princess thinks she doesn't deserve to smell shit. Liberals love their Upper Middle Class Privilege, and have no intention of losing it. Still, that was fast, even for them.

The best example of this I ever saw was on the subway in Sydney. A homeless guy staggered on, and dropped into the seat next to a twenty-something painfully-white girl, who, with her aisle exit blocked, immediately leapt over the seat and landed in my lap in her hurry to get away from him.

He stunk, sure, but I've smelt far worse, particularly now that we have so many immigrants in Australia. I had no idea a person's b.o. could linger the length of an entire supermarket aisle, but it can, so holding your nose and carrying on is just something privileged white bitches are going to have to get used to.

Hmmm, the right could cause a hell of a lot of trouble by taking the homeless to Starbucks and shouting them a coffee.

RE: Two black men arrested in Philadelphia Starbucks
It somehow feels like a cultural turning point, doesn't it? Starbucks has been a lifestyle symbol for 20 years now. The cafe was the symbol of cosmopolitanism, free-thinking, and so on. And as the final phase of that leftist dream, Starbucks commoditised it, then committed seppuku. I think in the future the brands with cultural cache are going to increasingly be on the right-leaning side. Flyover America has not begun to roar in terms of making its socio-political preferences clear through it's wallet, but I predict it will.

RE: Two black men arrested in Philadelphia Starbucks
Unless you know where the dollar you spend actually goes after it enters the revenue of company X then wallet based political activism is pointless, and 99% of people aren't going to be bothered to find out (or if they do they'll find out that most of these companies are inevitably owned by the same group of people regardless).

Buy the left wing franchise and the right wing franchise. Play both consumer groups for chumps. Win.

That's the joy of Zionism somehow being "right wing". Control the dialogue like that and you have Western morons funneling their money to you through reform Jews in one direction and Christian Zionists in the other.

Personally I'm at the point where I think the most positive thing I can do is stop buying shit altogether unless I really need it. I buy at local non-franchise vendors when I can, and even they have to get their produce from somewhere. I'm also thinking about finding a politically reliable accountant. Even if his services only lower my taxes to the point where I break even after his fees are counted I'll at least be supporting someone decent and not giving my bullshit government more money to fuck me with.

Pay minimal taxes. Spend minimal money. Spend locally with "your people". You might not win, but you'll lose less fast.

The public will judge a man by what he lifts, but those close to him will judge him by what he carries.

Starbucks = homeless meetup destination. Not a good look

Whats amazing to me is the ineptitude at brand management that Starbucks is displaying. The self inflicted damage is really astounding. How the BOD or major stockholders arent screaming for Kevi Johnsons (CEO) head is perplexing. He's been in the position a year now and its been one faux pas after another

Pay minimal taxes. Spend minimal money. Spend locally with "your people". You might not win, but you'll lose less fast.

This is what I do. I live basically the same way I lived in poverty with a better car and apartment. I figure the less shit I buy the younger I retire, and I hate major corporations.
