Starbucks now says that time-stamped footage from the store at 6332 N. Northwest Highway does not show any of its workers writing that message. Instead, the note appears “to have been added after the beverage was handed off, likely by someone else,” a spokesperson told Block Club.
Garretson wrote that a relative, whom she later identified as her mother-in-law, ordered the Mint Majesty tea with two honeys — an order known to be Kirk’s favorite drink — from the Starbucks. When the order was completed, the cup had “Loser” written on it, Garretson said.
“I’m talking 5 p.m. today, I want some form of action to the employee that represents this business that wrote ‘Loser’ on my mother’s cup,” the man, who is not seen on-camera, can be heard saying in the video, which was posted Wednesday.
“We’re looking for not corporate bureaucracy. I want immediate accountability; and if not, I will have this whole intersection lined with patriots today, I’m not even joking,” the man told a Starbucks employee.
What an emotional response jesus. Guy sounds like a loser.
People seem to have missed an important point: that was mint tea with honey. Granted, I’ve never tried it, but that sounds like a nasty combination.
It’s pretty fantastic actually, especially if you’re sick.
Okay. Thanks for the info!
Honey is frequently added to herbal and green teas of all kinds, including mint. I’m sure there are even people who like it in black tea though I don’t know any.
I’ve only ever used it in black teas, and I’m pretty sure that’s common to do. At the end of the day it’s just a sweetener and can be used in any tea you’d add sugar to.
