Exclusive translation: An “African American” woman was bullied after ordering a drink from Starbucks in the US state of Maryland.
And the woman asked Starbucks for a drink, so they wrote her name in English “monkeys” and started calling her: “Monkeys drink is ready,” according to nbcnews.
The woman said, My name is “Monique” but the clerk wrote Monkey and what happened was deliberate because the same clerk wrote monkeys the previous time.
And continued, asked the employee, “Why am I the only black person in the store and the monkey has ‘written on my drink?’ The manager replied that it was by mistake and we didn’t mean to say they are monkeys for their darkness.
For his part, the Starbucks rep said the employee who wrote monkeys on the drink, the employee was suspended and investigated, and the customer was contacted directly to apologize for their experience.
