>> Trump supporter blames slow Starbucks service on 'anti-white discrimination'
By Friday afternoon, the hashtag #TrumpCup had nearly 30,000 tweets, many of which were accompanied by pictures of Starbucks cups with “Trump” written on them.
Participants say the purpose of the movement is to force Starbucks employees to yell out Trump’s name when his supporters’ drinks are ready. They appear unconcerned that doing so requires them to give more money to the company they’re protesting.
Starbucks issued the following response:
“Over the years, writing customer names on cups and calling out their names has been a fun ritual in our stores. Rarely has it been abused or taken advantage of. We hope and trust that our customers will continue to honor that tradition.”
