Starbucks Stirred Up: Customer Melts Down After Barista Won’t Call Out Charlie Kirk’s Name
Charlie Kirk fans are standing their ground in the alleged fight of freedom of speech including a Starbucks customer who caused a scene when a barista failed to call out his name, which she labeled as her drink, when the order was ready.
In a video shared throughout social media, things took a turn when the unidentified woman got upset when the barista brought her drink to her instead of calling out the name on the drink, Charlie Kirk. “So you didn’t call the name out,” the woman said, as the barista responded asking if that’s what she wanted. The barista agreed and called out the name “Charlie” to the almost empty location but when the barista didn’t say the last name, things escalated.
One woman seated behind the Kirk supporter spoke out to defend the employee, alerting that the woman was recording as the woman continued to claim she posted such a positive review about the location prior to the incident. “A man spoke up for what he believes in and he got shot in the neck for it and you couldn’t stand there and call my name out but you called his name out,” she said, referring to other customers onlooking.
The woman claimed incidents like this “is what Charlie Kirk died for” since “its freedom of speech.”
Almost one month after Kirk was murdered during a Turning Point USA event in Utah, the battle of what’s right and wrong in correlation to speaking out against things have flooded the internet. In addition, Kirk supporters have been outspoken about him being assassinated for what he believed, stretching out the ongoing fight between liberals and the world of MAGA. The comment section celebrated the customer who defended the barista while seemingly making fun of the woman making a big deal. “This is so exhausting but I’m glad it’s YT on YT for a change,” @tayehydermua wrote on Instagram.
Another user pointed out that baristas may not make enough money to deal with additional drama. “Let these people do their jobs. They don’t get paid enough for this. SMH,” @ryansimsbeauty said.
One user gave an idea that the employee should push litigation against the woman recording. “If I was that barista, I’d sue that lady for emotional distress. Cause that was TOTALLY unnecessary,” @theivth_ wrote.
Events and moments in Kirk’s honor have continued after a massive memorial with guests including President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance took place in Glendale, Arizona, one week after his death. During a Penn State versus Oregon game, Kirk’s favorite team, according to Fox News, several Penn fans were seen wearing Kirk’s “FREEDOM” T-shirts. Conservative political commentator and host of Youtube’s The Benny Show, Benny Johnson, captured the moment and posted it on X saying, “Mission Accomplished.”
