An Ohio woman says she was stunned after finding a “sick” message written on her Starbucks cup. Autumn Perkins had ordered Charlie Kirk’s favorite drink — a Mint Majesty tea with two honeys — in honor of the late activist.
Instead of a normal label, the words “racist’s fav drink” were scrawled across her cup. Perkins posted about the incident on Facebook, writing, “Thank you, Starbucks, for proving to me exactly why I prefer my local Christian coffee shop.”
The worker admitted to writing the message and was fired by Kroger, which operates the store. Starbucks also condemned the act, saying it violated company policies. “Writing this on a cup is unacceptable,” a spokesperson confirmed.
Perkins told Fox News, “Charlie stood for respect. We don’t have to agree, but we must respect each other.” The viral story has sparked heated debate online about politics, respect, and customer treatment. What do you think — was the firing enough, or is the divide only growing deeper?
