While early indications suggests Americans will no longer tolerate the left's thuggishness, the extremists are pushing back just as hard. The events this morning show they are far from being in retreat.

Quote from: DKG on September 24, 2025, 10:30:55 AMAn Ohio barista was fired after she wrote a disparaging message on a customer's cup.

Since Charlie Kirk's murder, a video of a young woman asking him what he orders at Starbucks has gone viral. Kirk revealed in the video that due to his frequent speaking engagements, he orders "literally just Mint Majesty tea with two honeys" to preserve his speaking voice.

Since then, Americans have honored the late activist by ordering his favorite drink at their local Starbucks. In Middletown, Ohio — the hometown of Vice President JD Vance — a woman said her local Starbucks proved to her exactly why she does not frequent the business.

"The girl at Starbucks thought she was cute," wrote Autumn Perkins. The customer added that even though she is not a big fan of the company, she decided to support Kirk by ordering his favorite drink.

Attached to Perkins' Facebook post was a photo of her coffee cup that showed the words "racists fav drink" written on it.

"Thank you Starbucks for proving to me exactly why I prefer to support my small local Christian owned and operated coffee shop," Perkins added.

However, after revealing she had complained to the store manager, Perkins said she heard back from the location the following morning.

The Kroger in which the Starbucks is located contacted Perkins to let her know the employee had been fired, she claimed.

"Between last night and this morning I have had several Kroger employees reach out to me and they took this very seriously. As a long time customer of this particular Kroger location I am pleased with the way they quickly reacted and responded," the customer wrote. "Thank you Kroger for doing what was right."

A Kroger spokesperson provided comment to the Cincinnati Enquirer and stated the actions of the former employee do not reflect the grocer's values.

In a comment to Fox News Digital, Starbucks called the writing on the cup "unacceptable."

"We have clear policies that prohibit negative messages to help preserve a welcoming environment," Starbucks added. The company also confirmed the employee in question had been fired by Kroger.

Right off the bat, Starbucks is a leftist establishment and NO CON, including Kirk, should have been doing business with them! I havent done business with a Starbucks in a decade or longer!

Their products are overrated anyway.

And ridiculously overpriced.  At least Dunkin Donuts is a good product at reasonable prices.  The only bitch is pretty much having to deal with dotheads that barely know English at a lot of the locations.

Same here with our Tim Horton's.

20 years ago the running joke in Manhattan was to call them FourBucks

at that time 4 bucks was a steep price to pay for a spoon of coffee grinds and some hot water

what are those crooks charging these days? 30.00 ? I haven't been in one in at least 15 years, maybe more.


I'll take 7-11 coffee over that overpriced dog shit served to me by a bunch of liberal snots

I am not a fan of any doughnut shop coffee.

Gas station coffee has improved significantly. I will go to one of them or McDonald's for my morning cup over any doughnut shop or Starbucks.

On any given morning, I drink WATER!! No coffee and very seldom soda.

I make my own coffee. It is better than any place I have ever paid for a cup.

Starbucks is a woke company. But, I still like their burnt coffee.

I have never seen the hard left retreat. I did not expect it after Mr. Kirk's assassination.

What is changing is that those of us who do not fall in line to communists are finally starting to push back. I hope this continues. If we stop, they will trample us.

The biggest difference this time around is that there is an administration that prosecutes the criminal left. The FBI are arresting ANTIFA idiots.
