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.

Ah. So the same as when a cup had "pig" written on it by a cop?

And they shut down a Starbucks because they got called a loser? A fucking loser?! Why are the loudest, most obnoxious people so thin skinned? And why do they seem to have such a following?

Do you know what most "healthy" people would do in that situation (had it actually happened?) Just not go back. No performance, no threats, just not go back.

And if Starbucks is so woke this keeps (not) happening, why are they even going to Starbucks in the first place?

Why did Charlie Kirk have a favorite Starbucks drink and why is anyone pretending that it was a well known fact about him?

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 49 points 1 day ago

Much like how in Nazi Germany, neighbors would report each other to the police over real or invented allegations to resolve personal grievances, chuds are ordering this drink because they are sick with glee at the prospect of provoking a reaction from the woke blue-haired radical communist baristas and getting them fired. Of course that never happened because nobody gives a shit about their discount Horst Wessel, so they had to manufacture it as seen here.

[–] underisk@hexbear.net 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because they desperately want to be viewed as a persecuted group despite being the ones in charge of everything.

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 28 points 1 day ago

Being persecuted is the ultimate sign of righteousness in kkkristianity

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 24 points 1 day ago

It wasn't really before now but it has been making the rounds the last week ish, these donuts ordering his drink and giving the name Charlie Kirk to- I guess own the lib starbucks workers?

[–] Dr_Gabriel_Aby@hexbear.net 6 points 19 hours ago

There is a much funnier way that people like this could pay tribute to this man.

[–] mickey@hexbear.net 49 points 1 day ago

I want someone fired right the fuck now for a staged self victimization or else I'm going to January 6 this Starbucks.

If you're still buying coffee at Starbucks, you are a loser.

the Mint Majesty tea with two honeys — an order known to be Kirk’s favorite drink

Yeah I'm sure the underpaid Starbucks barista with a mailing address well outside of Charlie Kirk's asshole decided to call someone a loser on the sole basis of an order similar to his.

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"Known to be Kirk's favorite drink"

Known by who? I'm a fan of Robert Englund and I couldn't for the life of me tell you if he's ever had a big mac, let alone if he even drinks tea, and they think someone who isn't even a fan would be up to date with what pretentious drink he's into?

Had the worker actually written loser, it would have most likely be in reference to the person ordering this pretentious drink.

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Seriously, I'd wager a lot that the people placing these orders are fresh off of boycotting starbucks for being too woke.

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 5 points 16 hours ago

If I had the clout, I'd instantly spin this into their 'soyboy'; I'd ask them if they like one honey or two in their mint tea, or call them honeyed mintboys.

[–] Pentacat@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I hope all you heathens are prepared to let Charlie Kirk into your heart. Your eternal salvation depends on it.

The evangelicals are in rapture season again so this is even funnier

Right wing ragebaiters obviously don't care about what they're supposedly outraged about, when they say they feel sick to their stomach about some nobody on Xitler being mean to Horst Wessel they are obviously sick with glee at the thought of destroying someone's life over it. Chuds have never been this happy and excited in their lives, they crave the feeling of power they get when they call up a business and scream slurs into the phone threatening to shoot up their office unless they fire PigFucker69 from Instagram

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 46 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Leftists are so edgy and the actual offensives every time we offend chuds it makes national news.

We literally exist and that’s enough to ragebait 99% of the population, and we make headlines when we insult chuds back. Remember the legendary crashout of ‘ok boomer’ and “gammon”? If we can convince fascists that “skibidi” is a slur for white people, it will make headlines.

Please. I am begging for the left to have its own 4chan or any other cultural mafia, the crashouts will be gold.

[–] primrosepathspeedrun@anarchist.nexus 36 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (5 children)

I'm begging for left 4Chan

@hexbear.net

God I love you guys. Don't get near me without a respirator, but god I love you guys.

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 1 points 8 hours ago

Nah, thats leftypol

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 31 points 1 day ago (2 children)

No worries there

I don't go anywhere without an n95, a extendable riot baton and a hilarious baseball cap

Thank you for your service 🫡

[–] mickey@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (6 children)

I know this is a shitpost but I was thinking the other day if there is ever any use for an extendable baton as a self defense weapon and I feel like the answer is no. My understanding is that if its use were legally justifiable then you're already in a situation where you are in grave danger. And the baton would let you hurt someone but not really disable their attack if they were determined to getcha. Whereas pepper spray would temporarily disable them, hard, while also not putting you in legal jeopardy if you were a bit too quick to use it. If I'm wrong lemme know cuz I'm totally the kind of rube who could be convinced to buy an asp or collapsible baton or whatnot.

Also Brace Belden says he carries a sap which is pretty funny and also a point in favor of bludgeoning weapons.

[–] primrosepathspeedrun@anarchist.nexus 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Thr law will never protect and always punish you.

So ask the real question: what's the funniest self defense weapon you could get real utility out of?

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I always liked those little self-defense pens

They're basically just a very pointy rod

I could see myself jabbing someone's throat real good and screaming "THE PEN IS MIGHTIER, THE PENIS MIGHTIER!"

[–] primrosepathspeedrun@anarchist.nexus 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Add a hip thrust and I'm in.

[–] mickey@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lol that's not where I thought you were going with this, okay uhh how about granddad's sporterized Mauser M18 with a $2,000 scope?

the employees know they're being filmed but somehow the chuds still think they can fake this shit

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 30 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The truth doesn't matter, the point is to accuse their mortal enemies (woke baristas) of lese-majeste publicly in the hopes that it goes viral on Xitler and they they get inundated with death threats. The hogs will have forgotten all about it and moved on to the next target and be too busy sending new death threats to care about any developments on an old case (right wing outrage cycles have the shortest half-life of any known element), and even if they found out they wouldn't give a shit, because all they really care about is destroying the lives of minimum-wage workers because Fox News told them they were involved in a communist plot to destroy America

[–] XxFemboy_Stalin_420_69xX@hexbear.net 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

two honeys in mint tea? bruh

[–] mudpuppy@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

people should be shamed for that order apolitically

[–] primrosepathspeedrun@anarchist.nexus 34 points 1 day ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (5 children)

"Don't give them a reason!" Crowd–where you at?

Also, as a tea drinker and herbal tea lover–who the fuck orders tea at Starbucks? Their tea is piss water.

[–] ephemeral@hexbear.net 23 points 1 day ago

Their tea is piss water

yeah that's why he had to douse it in a shitload of honey

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 18 points 1 day ago (4 children)

The coffee is not good either.

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Man thinks people seriously give a fuck about or know that piece of shits order? Like… seriously? So obvious you wrote it yourself to try and target “woke” (lol) Starbucks.

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 21 points 1 day ago (3 children)

One time my mom was getting food delivered so I had her put my name in as "the cool edgy one" and it made her laugh super hard. So now I keep doing it. Nobody has seemed to mind up to this point.

The Karening of the Kirks.

I hope Aamon makes his next vid on the rapid onset Cult that has propped up around charlie-kirk.

Perennial persecution complex

well every barista is a trans person with blue hair and a septum ring, so they are so owned when they say the dead racists name.

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 20 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I don't like get this particular brand of conservative rage bait or humor? Like when they go in somewhere and say their name is "Jesus Christ is Lord" (like some Puritan child) and get mad if they dont read the full name out. Or "Donald Trump." Or whatever. Like whyd they pick Starbucks as the conservative epic own space???

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

They are the most self-obsessed people on earth and have a desperate need to constantly whine about their imagined oppression 24/7. The closest thing to oppression they've ever experienced is the walmart greeter not saying "heil hitler"

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

They are obsessed with being martyrs and being persecuted, but no one is hanging them on a cross, so they have to fake persecution for clout.
