Thanks.
And give us one of those buns of decency.
Lovely.
Everything. As It Happens.
Technically they didn’t give you real coffee so fair’s fair.
Christ almighty. This happens in my local and locally owned coffee almost every day.
These PR announcements dressed up as tweets are fake and misleading.
Pat’s a real person. And he doesn’t work in PR.
What’s his real motive for posting that free ad for Starbucks? Are they a client of his?
Looking for more free coffee.
I don’t know… I really hope there’s no ulterior motive. Surely if we’re going to name & shame when someone/some company does something lame, we should also give shout outs for random acts of kindness?
I think most Irish coffeeshops would do this.
” buns of decency.” yum yum
Patrick M “The tragic thing is that this member of staff is not actually a starbucks employee but and employee of a franchise”. :(
Ha ha ha. I’d forgotten about that guy.
Is this relating to the Ireland/UK incident??
Decent set of buns on yer one
What have I started? I confirm I have NO connection with Starbucks, I rarely drink coffee and I did pay for it eventually. And I see nothing wrong with franchises (what’s that all about?) I’d hate to go through life looking for malign motives everywhere
God dammit Pat there’s gonna be an internal investigation over this. CCTV will be checked and that franchise employee is gonna be sacked.
The franchises comment refers to a tweet from way back from another Pat about the tragedy that is Starbucks’ business model in Ireland.
the one that has paid less income tax in the last five years than any of their part-time cleaners. Starbucks out thanks.
+1
“BRAVO”
Christ, get of the stage with language like that.
starbucks didnt do that decent thing the person behind the counter did.
What else were they going to do?
Put it back into the machine?
I might try that logic with a barman tonight.
Depending on the Bar they might very well “put it back into the machine”
:)
“No problem sir, Pay later!”
Sounds like a line learned directly from their English language training video disseminated all over the world. 1000 Starbucks staff across the world said these exact words today.
Not much human about that
