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.

HA! Perfect! Seems exactly what the fascists are going for. Wonder if this event has the staying power to make a modern Horst Wessel. Or, if you will, a Robert Paulson. 😆

And, of fucking course, the neurodivergents on lemmy are incapable of understand satire without an /s tag. This is why I always expand downvoted comments. Never know when you'll strike gold.

I think they’re probably just younger and don’t get the references. Young fuckin’ uncultured dickheads.

I am now living in a world where Fight Club is an obscure reference. Fuck me.
