Those guys got something good out of it, but if no one recorded it it could have ended up being a very negative thing for them going to jail. A word on a cup isn’t even traumatic. People say dumb blonde jokes to me, and I don’t care. And those can be a lot worse than beaner.

Meh to each of their own I guess. But honestly even then I love how the story tries to act like the guy is tortured or something...


As for the word beaner, is supposed to be getting a semantic change apperantly for the worse.


Are those blonde jokes more sexist than racist btw? Well nonetheless...


I just think pulling off a stupid event like this is way too imperfect with current situation Starbucks is in.

Liberal Starbucks ticking off other liberals... Again.

I love it.

And how come Peter isn't the one on camera?

If you look at the label, you can see he ordered 2 drinks. The hot drink is labeled drink 1 of 2 and the cold drink is labeled drink 2 of 2.

No, they’re actually just insulting a certain segment of the population. Would it just be discriminatory? A stereotype? I don’t know, and don’t really care either. But those guys making an issue out of this are looking for a settlement of some sort. No way they’re that mad about it in reality.
