A Starbucks barista who printed the word 'PIG' on the labels of an Oklahoma police officer's order on Thanksgiving was fired, the company says.
"What irks me is the absolute and total disrespect for a police officer who, instead of being home with family and enjoying a meal and a football game, is patrolling his little town," O'Mara wrote in the post that was widely shared and has since been taken down. O'Mara said the store manager offered to reprint the computer-generated labels.
, Starbucks said it had apologized to the officer and that the employee who printed the labels with the"offensive word" used poor judgment and was fired for violating company policy. In a separate joint statement, Starbucks and the Kiefer Police Department said they would leverage their platforms to promote greater civility.
