I was refused service at Starbucks because I was wearing a US Marine Corps T-shirt. I walked in and immediately got mean looks directed at me.

The girl behind the counter stated to me upon me entering the facility, "We don't support the Military here & we don't serve your kind. You need to leave, Now". Are you serious? I served for this Country in Combat in the middle east.

For a Starbucks employee to say that to me is a slap in my face & every Veteran who's ever worn the uniform of the US Military.

I'll never go to a Starbucks again and encourage everyone to boycott Starbucks all over the Country.

Reason of review: Poor customer service.

Starbucks Cons: Horrible customer service.

Location: Pearland, Texas

Starbucks sends coffee overseas to U.S. soldiers and has donation centers in ANY location for this program. Nice try, OP.

You are stating that Starbucks is a Liberal company as well as a worthless establishment. However, InfantryScout7, you were going in to Starbucks in the first place.

When does a company become a Liberal company? When they don't do as you order?

I TOTALLY support the military but I ALSO support the rights of businesses. And one of the rights of a business is 'They have the RIGHT to refuse service'!!

Who gave you the right to force this company to, as you state, serve your kind? They can serve or not serve whomever they want.

An employee of THIS Pearland TX Starbucks expressed their opinion; kind of like freedom of speech, right? But that same freedom of speech means people have the right to disagree! No right to post negative comments to you?

You were fighting to PROTECT those rights!! The right to Agree AND Disagree with you and anyone else.

InfantryScout7 ... perhaps you were joking when you asked for a discount because you are a veteran. You know, your original statement said nothing about this.

When I read your original statement I was shocked anyone could treat a veteran that way. But now I read what you left out and the story is quite different. You have omitted info before. Have you also omitted some carnal language that you also ordered of the employee?

As a business owner myself, I would have asked you to leave and take your business elsewhere. NOT because you are a veteran but because you are disruptive, impolite, childish, ... should I go on?

You actually are stating you are better than everyone else by telling this Starbucks employee that you should get a 50% discount because you risked your life and you are a war veteran.

Is that why you chose to serve? Would you act this way in front of your Commanding Officer? Again, as a business owner I would have given you the Acting Like a *** Discount -- up 50% and down 10%. Then to state one of your "brothers in arms" should have been killed in battle?

You have some serious social behaviour issues. You give the Marines a black eye, sir! Thank you for risking your life, InfantryScout7. And Thank You to all the other veterans who have posted on this thread.

I truly appreciate your service.

InfantryScout7, you know that just about every gas station serves coffee. Taking your business some place else is usually a good way to send a message to a company.

Whatever. I don't have time for your childish games. I'm out.

Why do you keep commenting when you say you don't have time for childish games? Your acting like a small guy.

Steve W Jjg

Lol, your comments are worthless, baseless, and completely untrue. They also don't faze me one bit.

I love our Military and my fellow Vets. Semper Fi.

vInfantryScout7 is a disgrace to all vets with his rude behavior. He is even rude to his fellow vet.

InfantryScout7 is a disgrace to all military people who risk their lives to protect us.

Steve W Jjg

Poor baby..... Your feelings are hurt because I stated the truth?

Lol, your crazy. I did serve in the Marine Corps during the War. I was also injured in Combat and received an Honorable Discharge as a result. So I did serve with honor, pride, and patriotism for my Country.

I fought so ***'s like you won't have to worry about terrorist cowards & *** won't come to this country & blow up your families or destroy our way of life. You have the freedoms you have today because people like me decided to protect our nation many years ago. So you ought to get over the fact that your little feelings were hurt and move on. That employee at Starbucks who caused all this *** has been fired.

I followed up with them & found out what happened. So as far as I'm concerned, this matter is closed.

I was a war veteran as well, and I don't think that this gives me a right to talk down to others. You sir are a disgrace to all veterans.

PS I have a feeling that it is more your feelings that are hurt than anyone else.

Now you are being rude and nasty to another vet, grow up. I apologize to that other vet if I lead him to believe that all vets are like you, but I have to agree with him, you are a disgrace to all vets.

Whatever, is that all you can come up with? That is a real good comeback.

You really must be 14 to come back with a comment like that. If not, and you are a veteran you need to be stripped of your title, and discharged for your comment about wishing the veteran from Florida died in battle. That is a horrible comment to make and you are a horrible person to post this.

If you are 14 years old your parents need to beat you and make you write a sincere apology to the veteran you wished death upon. I don't normally believe in hitting children but to wish death upon a war veteran, anyone who has not done any harm is a disgrace and you should be ashamed of yourself.

I have to agree with you and after he posted those nasty comments about you wishing that you were killed in battle I can only hope he is trolling for attention. If not he is a real disgusting person.

Yes he is disgusting but maybe he took one in the head or something.

This incident did happen exactly as I described it. I'm sorry if your too *** to realize that even a corporation such as Starbucks can have an employee or two who make foolish & idiotic statements like that.

I contacted the Starbucks corporate office about this incident.

They could not apologize enough & said they would take appropriate action in dealing with this employee. So you idiots who want to believe that such incidents like this don't happen are complete fools.

You have no right to call an adult old enough to work when you result to childish name calling. Are you sure you were kicked out for being in the Military.

I have a pretty strong feeling that you were kicked out because of your attitude.

You are just saying it was because of your Military cap to make them look bad. You seem to think that because you served in the military you can treat other's like *** and make rude and nasty comments to them resulting in immature childish name calling just because they disagree with you and don't believe you.

Please don't judge all veterans by the way the OP is acting. Most of us risk our lives because we care about our country and want to protect our citizens.

Not so that we can boast about it and push people around and treat them badly. We so have veteran's like this and he is a disgrace to all veterans who risked their lives. Then again this could be a trolling issue as stated. Honestly I can see a 14 year old resulting to name calling instead of arguing in a mature way, not a grown man, but I have also seen veterans think they are high and above others because they risked their lives.

I too have risked my life and I would not treat other people like he is treating you all online. If he really is a veteran he is a disgrace to all those that fought for their country and should be ashamed at how he addresses others.
