Starbucks has issued a public apology following an incident in which a group of police officers was asked to leave after a customer allegedly complained about feeling “unsafe.”
Six officers from the Tempe Police Department in Arizona went into a Starbucks on July 4 for coffee, according to a statement issued by the Tempe Officers Association, and were approached by a barista. The Starbucks employee then told the officers them a customer “did not feel safe” in their presence.
