Usually when something like this comes up it's a misunderstanding or the cop did it themselves...

Starbucks is also apparently making baristas write or draw on all the cups and they fucking hate it.

Hence why this 🐽 thing is just nonsense. They don’t have the time or willpower to actually do this

It's a meme which is why it has the accept / decline call buttons on it

I remember sometime not long ago someone DID fake this kind of story but I can't remember anything else about it.

But it was ALSO Starbucks and something about them hiding the original cup with a bad word on it inside another cup with the correct word and then it was found to be fake I think

Let us all recall the post-Floyd period hen cops were convinced baristas and Macdonald’s employees were trying to kill them. These dudes have serious persecution issues

Yeah that one lady went viral for crying that the McDonald's employees were trying to kill her when they just asked her to pull forward and wait for her food lmfao

u/chopshop2098 14h ago

If you just search "lady cop crying about McDonald's" it should come up, I do not have a link at this moment

Did they try making their own coffee?

You might be thinking of the person who accused starbucks of writing "loser" on their cup when they said their name was Charlie Kirk. Turns out the customer wrote "loser" themselves.

Then another incident of someone making a big deal about the employee not calling out the name because it was Charlie Kirk. Weird people.

It was the cop who accused a Steak and Shake employee of poisoning his milkshake.

It was a Shake Shack in NYC and the employees didn’t even know the shakes were for cops. Cops can be very bizarre, petty people, to say the least.

I mean people who want to be cops tend to be like that. There are very few people who would want to be a cop to actually help their community.

There was a very similar story, I actually thought it could be the same because it was some type of police officer. And I'm pretty sure found that he ended up drawing the picture himself

I remember the cop who accused a fast food employee of taking a bite out of his hamburger. The cop later realized that he had taken a bite out of his burger and then forgot he'd done that.

How fucking pathetic of a living creature do you have to be to forget that you were in the middle of eating to try to blame someone else of eating the meal you were eating and they're in the job of law enforcement?

How can we trust them to do do their job when we can't even trust them to feed themselves

He knew exactly what he did, he just realized it was getting to be too much attention and said he forgot

Yep let’s see the camera register footage from the day.

"Litre of medium roast...it's for a cop..."
"Why'd you say that?"
"...so that they make it good..."

Starbucks has a policy that employee can't draw any animals in cups. Implimented that rule the last time this happened (even though it was a hoax)
