Starbucks barista at Kroger fired after writing 'racists fav drink' on Charlie Kirk order [View all]

“The girl at Starbucks thought she was cute,” Perkins wrote in the post. “I don’t even support Starbucks bc of everything they stand for starting with their satanic logo, but I support Charlie Kirk so I thought you know what… I’ll get his drink."

“Thank you Starbucks for proving to me exactly why I prefer to support my small local Christian owned and operated coffee shop. Well done,” she wrote.
