Satanic Starbucks
A Louisiana woman was unpleasantly surprised when she picked up her Starbucks order from the counter and found Satanic symbols drizzled atop her foam, allegedly the work of a strange barista. After Megan Pinion posted a photo of her devilish drinks to Starbucks' Facebook page, it went viral and caught the eye of the company's social media department. According to The Daily Advertiser, the Satanic symbols included a five point star (Lucifer's pentagram), and "666," which, according to the Daily Advertiser, represents the Antichrist. Pinion did not say anything to the barista, but rather chose to write her thoughts about her hellish Starbucks experience on the Facebook post. "I unfortunately can't give the young man’s name who served it, because I was so appalled that I could not bring myself to look at him,” Pinion wrote in her post. "I am in no way judging his beliefs or dis-meriting his beautiful artwork, I am however judging his lack of professionalism and respect for others. I am a teacher in the public school system and if I were to present a child of atheist or pagan believers with a Christian art project I could be sued in a heartbeat. I am of Catholic faith and would love to share in my beliefs daily. Fortunately I have enough common sense to present myself with professionalism and follow an ethics code. Perhaps that could be suggested to that particular location." Starbucks social media spokesperson Tom Kuhn reached out to Pinion directly to apologize for the barista's work. Pinion shared Starbucks' official apology with The Daily Advertiser: "This obviously is not the type of experience we want to provide any of our customers, and is not representative of the customer service our partners provide to millions of customers every day." Kuhn told The Daily Advertiser, "We’re taking the complaint seriously." · |

Re: Satanic Starbucks
while we're at it, let's also make sure we protect the use of the word Christmas in public schools with more than just christian students and all let's keep the other religious bullshit our society has adopted. for fucks sake, what the fuck is wrong with people? i'd rather have some d-bag write a harmless 666 in my coffee than have to explain to my 4 year old daughter why it's ok for there to be a statue of a human sacrifice off the side of the freeway. "it a human sacrifice, sweetie. the man being sacrificed is Jesus and people think he was tortured for you because god made you unclean." yes, good thing people have their priorities straight. human sacrifice = ok and suitable for children '666' written in caramel on a coffee = not ok for anybody and a news worthy event disgusting. nice to see the person involved wasnt that offended by it. customer service should be treated with the respect religion gets. |

Re: Satanic Starbucks
There are a number of unbelievers on this site and a number of believers. I don't know the ratio, but from what I have witnessed since I have been on this site, any possible chance to stomp on the christian belief and to make fun of the believers and their beliefs is taken advantage of. Whereas, the persons who are believers rarely voice their opinions of non-believers or try to make a joke of their beliefs. A small portion of respect? Constantly toting the unbelief/disbelief/God is dead/God does not exist/the Bible: a fairy tale, is hardly necessary. I have no idea how an atheist would feel if the Barista had drawn a cross with praying hands...... Do you? |
