bad starbucks?

Question

When I went to the Starbucks location below, I was treated very rudely, and was segregated against. I was standing in line, and the manager decided to first help the Caucasian family behind me. At that time, I didn't really think much about it, but after I began working there, the racism got out of control.. I was working there with one other Caucasian man in the beginning. The manager would allow him to sit with the other manage (Marcella), and her friends having free coffee (even if it was the busiest time of day). This is when i didn't have my own code to the cash register, and wasn't able to help the customers' efficiently. I would have to call the manager, while she came to me making faces.
I would have to sweep/mop, clean the counters, and wash the dishes, when the Caucasian guy would have the luxury of making the drinks (and leaving the mess there. I never gave anyone a chance to complain, but soon after they found two other Caucasian people, they (very rudely) fired me.
Recently, when I went to Tom thumb, I saw that they only had caucasian people working, and no colored people..

Answer 1

I would defiantly call someone at Starbucks corporate. I have worked for Starbucks now for over a year and I have never seen any racism or anyone being discriminated against. I would really question what kind of management that store has in place. I am very sorry for your experience and wish it would have went so much better for you. That store really gives Starbucks as a whole a bad name. Generally Starbucks is a wonderful place to work, that does not discriminate against your race, religion, age, sexual preferences etc. Typically especially in my store it is a wide variety of people who work there and a great place to work. Again sorry and good luck.

Answer 2

You need to call the Starbucks company, and tell them about this. Descrimination is aginst the law, and you can sue if you have enough edvidence, which I think you have. I'm really sorry this had to happen, some people are just rude like that.
