On the 13th, an incident occurred in Chongqing, China, where a policeman was escorted by a clerk of a well-known chain coffee shop. A policeman ate at the door of “Starbucks” during a shift on duty and was expelled by the clerk. “You are so powerful! The police don’t deserve to eat at your door, aren’t they?” After the news was exposed, a large number of Chinese netizens were slammed, and some people even said angrily, “China can have no Starbucks, but it can’t be without the people’s police.”
According to the report of “Nine Pai News”, a netizen wrote angrily on Weibo, “Starbucks Chongqing, you are so powerful! The police are not worthy of eating at your door, right?” Then attached a screenshot of a friend’s post, Only the police officer who is suspected to be the people’s nanny in the picture wrote, “Today, I was on duty at the entrance of the Starbucks next to the Ciqikou Visitor Center (opposite the entrance of the original scenic spot) at the Starbucks entrance. The Starbucks employees saw us who had eaten half of it and said, ‘You can change it. Where to eat? You will affect our brand image”.” The policeman then wrote mockingly, “I don’t know what level of public security (police) is worthy of this tall Starbucks.”
After the news was exposed, a large number of netizens were bombarded, “The police are just borrowing a place to eat, how can it be linked to affecting the image of Starbucks? Now, it’s good, driving the police to completely affect the image of Starbucks. There is a lot of coffee, you don’t have to drink Starbucks! “, “What’s the image of your brand?”, “Does it even affect the police when you eat out? Is there anything in the store that can’t be seen?”, “China can have no Starbucks, but it can’t be without the people’s police. “
In the face of the rising anger of netizens, the Starbucks operator only said in a low-key manner in an interview with the media, “We are also actively conducting internal investigations on this incident, and we will not announce the results until the situation is clarified.”
