Starbucks

On 10/31/2020 I was purchasing a Starbucks product from the store located in The Woodlands Mall, Lake Woodlands Drive in The Woodlands, Texas. The barista working the cash register and taking orders (Joseph) was wearing a mask emblazed with a black power upraised fist on one side and BLM, Inc.

I noticed no other Starbucks employee wearing a political statement mask. As a retired law enforcement officer who is currently very distressed over the current level of violence being fomented in our country by extremist groups, I found the mask offensive. While I fully support that all lives matter in this country and that all Americans have the right to their individual political views, I am offended to see my favorite coffee shop allowing employees to serve political statements with my coffee.

As a result, I will no longer be purchasing any Starbucks products unless I receive word that this problem has been addressed.
