Starbucks Customer Alleges Free Speech Violation After Barista Refuses to Call 'Charlie Kirk' Name for Order

A recent incident at a Starbucks location in the United States captured on video shows a customer engaging in a heated exchange with a barista over the use of a name for her order. The customer, who identified herself as having requested the name "Charlie Kirk" for her drink, accused the barista of refusing to call out that specific name, citing it as an infringement on her freedom of speech. The woman claimed that the barista had called out another customer's name, highlighting what she perceived as an inconsistent policy. The customer asserted that she had previously submitted a positive review for the establishment but now plans to amend it with the footage of the confrontation. She linked the incident to a broader narrative about freedom of speech being "shut down in America," stating that the barista's actions were indicative of a "bad policy." Throughout the interaction, the barista maintained a composed demeanor, eventually asking the customer to leave the premises. When the customer refused, the barista indicated that she would contact the authorities. The video concludes with the customer stating her intention to continue documenting the event live.
