A Starbucks spokesperson said time-stamped surveillance footage shows an employee did not write the note, which had prompted online outrage and the store’s temporary closure this week.https://blockclubchicago.org/2025/09/19/viral-video-claiming-starbucks-worker-wrote-loser-on-order-honoring-charlie-kirk-is-false-company-says/>NORWOOD PARK — A viral social media video this week claimed that employees at a Norwood Park Starbucks wrote “Loser” on a drink ordered in honor of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk. An online furor followed, and the coffee shop even closed temporarily.>But Starbucks now says that time-stamped footage from the store at 6332 N. Northwest Highway does not show any of its workers writing that message. Instead, the note appears “to have been added after the beverage was handed off, likely by someone else,” a spokesperson told Block Club.>The controversy started with a post Tuesday from Jacqueline Garretson, who, according to her X bio, is the Illinois state director for The Conservative Caucus and previously worked as a staffer for failed Republican attorney general candidate Thomas DeVore.>Garretson wrote that a relative, whom she later identified as her mother-in-law, ordered the Mint Majesty tea with two honeys — an order known to be Kirk’s favorite drink — from the Starbucks. When the order was completed, the cup had “Loser” written on it, Garretson said.
>>1440243>Garretson encouraged followers to call Starbucks and report the incident. She later posted two videos of her and an unidentified man confronting workers at the Norwood Park Starbucks.>“I’m talking 5 p.m. today, I want some form of action to the employee that represents this business that wrote ‘Loser’ on my mother’s cup,” the man, who is not seen on-camera, can be heard saying in the video, which was posted Wednesday.>“We’re looking for not corporate bureaucracy. I want immediate accountability; and if not, I will have this whole intersection lined with patriots today, I’m not even joking,” the man told a Starbucks employee.>The videos received more than 40,000 likes on X. On Wednesday evening, Garretson posted that she went back to the Norwood Park Starbucks at 5 p.m. and found a sign that said the business was temporarily closed.>“Thank you to everybody that called, stopped in to order Charlie’s drink and put in complaints with corporate. Over the past 24 hours we have SHUT THEM DOWN,” Garretson wrote in text over the video.>In an email to Block Club, a Starbucks spokesperson confirmed the Norwood Park location was closed for “a portion of the day” Wednesday. However, the spokesperson said the company reviewed timestamped in-store video footage and found the note was not written by a Starbucks employee.>The note appears “to have been added after the beverage was handed off, likely by someone else,” the spokesperson said.>The Norwood Park Starbucks was back open Thursday, the spokesperson said.>Garretson did not respond to a request for comment.
>>1440245>In one of the videos, Garretson can be heard saying she “knew Charlie personally.” Kirk, who was raised in suburban Arlington Heights and was the founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot last last week during a speaking appearance at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.>After his death, a video of Kirk describing his go-to Starbucks order as a Mint Majesty tea with two honeys resurfaced.>In a separate viral video, a Starbucks employee in Yucaipa, California, reportedly refused to write Kirk’s name on a Mint Majesty order, saying “we can’t do political names.”>Starbucks, in a statement Wednesday, addressed both incidents.>“We aim to be a community coffeehouse where everyone feels welcome, so we have previously provided guidance to our partners to respectfully ask the customer to use a different name when attempting to use political slogans or phrases in place of their name. We are clarifying with our team now that names, on their own, can be used by customers on their café order, as they wish,” the statement said.tl;dr - right winger lies and predictably gets caught. who the fuck knows charlie kirk's starbucks order? and don't MAGAts think that woke corporation is responsible for the war on christmas or some shit?
Looks like a magat trying to get attention. He should have just shot something up instead, or shot another conservative. Ain't that what they do?I'm kidding, I'm glad he just forged a note and tried to make a company lose some money just for some attention. However, corporate mafia might make him a ghost... don't fuck with their money, they'll do 10 school shootings over $3.50.
>>1440248It is MERRY FUCKING XMAS! Not Happy Holidays!May the JOY of Christ be with you too, crazy person...Famous lines... forgive them Father for they don't know what they do.It seems the Christians don't have that excuse since they are so well-versed in that book that explains all this shit to them...I'm done, sorry.
Good news, the company can sue for lost profits due to that fraud.Bad news, those people couldn't afford the payout anyway.
>>1440254Public mischief is a crime
>>1440243>>1440245>>1440248Holy fuck that's pathetic.
>>1440252The war on Christmas was lost when people started getting days off for Ramadan-dan.
>>1440248MAGA morons get really angry that the libs in real life don't do the things the libs in their heads do, so they have to fake it to make reality like the hallucinations in their headthey do this because they think they're the sane ones, and libs are completely deranged
>>1440259Between their own heads, their failed leaders deflecting accountability and Russian shills they absolutely hate liberals. All the liberal did was get blamed. Can't really make this stuff up.
>>1440258Ruined profits? Damn those people that believe things you don't. How dare they celebrate or consider something sacred or do anything different from you...
>>1440280It just isn't fair.
>>1440248It is stuff like this that causes people to doubt the first accusation when something happens. I refer to the Kirk shooting in particular. Gets shot and Republicans and dictator in chief cry for war. Make moves banning free speech, etc. I mean, they should try to be more subtle at least.
>>1440282No doubt a deranged Maga did it. I could leave the deranged part off, redundant pairing it with maga.
>>1440259scholars will study the maga mindset for generations to come
>>1440251>Heit's a womantypical woman behavior, lying and acting like a victim for attentionand people still pretend that these creatures should be placed in any kind of position of authority or allowed to vote
>>1440248sure i'm going to trust the billion dollar DEI company. It more likely happened then not so Idc it probably did happen.>>1440259>>1440279https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/office-depot-michigan-charlie-kirk-b2825950.htmlyou refused to print posters for a memorial you dipshit. its literally on video you are criminally unhinged.
>>1440287leftists have been free from scutiny for too long anon, your favorbility rating is 8% down from the righties.your lack of self-awareness is goign to lose you the next election again.
>>1440243Im probably in the minority here but regardless if he lied or not, being honest has never really gotten anyone anywhere in the modern world. This applies to anyone in politics, left, right, center, up, down. A page out of The Prince could teach you that. That being said, Chicago is a deracinated shit hole.
>>1440303Sorry to disappoint you but that isn't me in the video. Try again.
Pretty sure we established what a business has to or doesn't have to do with the gay cake.

>>1440352W1GWAG was the Qfags mantra and the went Trump so... again you are wrong. So many wins!
>>1440357Wigwag like a half retarded puppy's tail after pooping on the floor.
>>1440358Half retarded because it doesn't understand some principles of life but semi smart because it is still cunning enough to do the bad it wants.
>>1440359Dumb enough to get caught, smart enough to not succeed pleading innocence. Guilty.
>>1440324Yes it is, don’t lie
>>1440365Daddy Trump has the monopoly on lies. I can't afford one.
>>1440369Why do you leftists always refer to trump as "daddy" it's kind of weird
>>1440243Ordering Starbucks bullshit in Charlie Kirk's name is such a uniquely American action that it borders on the parodic. Jesus Christ I fucking hate you people.
>Headline: Worker didn't do thing >Article:Well, they actually did, not here why that's a good thingTrump needs to destroy liberal media faster
>>1440900Why does Grindr keep crashing whenever large groups of conservatives show up
>>1440900The Daddy title comes from a Korn song. The part with the pedophile preying on his victim.Little childLooking so prettyCome out and playI'll be your daddyInnocent childLooking so sweetI′ll rape your mindAnd now your flesh I reap
>>1440259>fake it to makeThat's all rightards have now: lies. Well, it's blown up in their own faces. Case in point, >>1440303 >>1440352. WYSIWYG destroys 'WWG1WGA'. Try again in two weeks, lolcow of /news/.'Fake it till you make it'? Woken to be broken.>>1440303 >>1440352 the fake American is broken by his own lies. Like I say, it's what rightards are reduced to. Thus this rightard schizo terrorist needs meds because of his psychotic posts.
>>1440922thanks for proving to the world leftists are definitely not unhinged mouth-breathing terrorirsts.
>>1440915Subsequently, Hey Daddy (also Korn) is the last part of the humanity in a Maga pleading to Daddy for help from Daddy's raping and implantation of their demons .
>>1440243Trump could write 'loser' all over Arlington Cemetery and maga would order the prints.
>>1440303Even if it did happen, what is bad about it? If the right feels fully justified in constant George Floyd mockery for years on end, why should anyone not mock Kirk and his death? Or does freedom of speech only count when the person who's death you are mocking is a DEI minority?America is a laughing stock these days, I love it.
Erika Kirk 2028
>>1440936>George Floyd mockeryFun Fact: Charlie Kirk was born on October 14 1993. George Floyd was born on October 14 1973.The former: neck. The latter: neck.Gonna have to stick your neck out, about a 'Charlie Kirk Day' which celebrates his life, Republicans. Can't exactly have a celebration of his life on the day of his death, so enjoy your paradox.Moral: You'll never be good at writing jokes, rightists, due to this fact: that's all you are: a joke. Because as the above Kirk-mocking fact proves, the jokes just write themselves.
>>1440287>scholars will study the delusional mutt mindset for generationsFTFYYou (all the political Americans) are the most gullible fools to ever have lived.Maga, Demonrats, makes no difference. It's all one big uni-party.Einstein said, insanity was doing the same thing repeatedly and always expecting things to work out differently.All your politicians are as bad as each other.What happened to you America. You used to be smarter than this.
>>1440940That's a lot of word salad. Should people have the right to make fun of others they think are idiots who got themselves killed or not? It's a pretty simple question. Is there something bad about making fun of Kirk dying so ironically? If so, why?
>>1440948I laughed so hard at this old faces of death video of a guy on a high tower threatening suicide, finally talked out of it he starts down, slips and plunges to his death. I call that comedy, dark comedy.
>>1440949Lol I remember that one. A blowhard going on about how awesome guns are being shot in the neck by an unstable memelord is pretty good too though. That I'm not supposed to laugh feels genuinely absurd.
>>1440944right wing shills shift predictably into 'both sides are bad, so choose MAGA'
>>1440952I'm not American you dumb ass retard.American fools like you think that everything you don't like is MUH ebil right wing.You don't even know what right wing means because you is stooopid.Same with Fascism, you mutts think Hitler invented it.You really are a laughing stock.
>>1440954>I'm not American>didn't deny being a shillI never thought you were American
>>1440955You didnt deny being a dumb ass retard fool either but I always knew you were.BYE BYE LARD ASS
1440958shill melties starting early this week
>>1440936the left murders people who make fun of george floydalso we're ignoring the fact that not only was he a career criminal whose held pregnant woman hostage.https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/09/us/derek-chauvin-trial-george-floyd-day-10"Heart disease, fentanyl contributed to George Floyd’s death">>1440948If people want to say oh you should be able to laugh at it then they should've stfu when george floyd meth pipe was a meme years ago.>>1440951funny cause he wasn't even a gun hardhead most of the leftists love to ignore the context to spin their narrative. His whole argument was people are going to die but its better for us to have guns to be able to protect themselves inspite of that.I'm going to enjoy seeing guns get stripped away from all of you until the only ones left allowed to have guns are police and ice agents.
>>1440961>mom got the wrong tendies and I'm making it EVERYONES problem, leftists
>>1440948>saladSalad is healthy. As is Satire. It's the Republicans that are now beyond satire that'll have to stick their necks out about what day to have that celebration of Charlie Kirk's life: on the day of his death or on his birthday, on the same day that George Floyd was born? That's why the laugh's on them as they try to work that one out.
>>1440961Everyone can tell you made a good point/argument because the only response the demshill had was an insult
>>1440964>now beyond satire that'll have to stick their necks out about what day to have that celebration of Charlie Kirk's life: on the day of his death or on his birthday, on the same day that George Floyd was born?Bro where do you come up with the weird ass arguments that only the strawmen in your head care about?You do realize that different people can celebrate different things on the same day, right? Or do you think all the stoners that turn out to golden gate park on April 20 are doing it to celebrate Hitler's birthday? You are a retard. A thoroughbred retard.
it's not just Republicans that are parodies of themselves, as 1440948 1440968 demonstrates
>>1440961>If people want to say oh you should be able to laugh at it then they should've stfu when george floyd meth pipe was a meme years ago.That's what I mean. I laughed at those too. I don't see how or why this is supposed to be different.>funny cause he wasn't even a gun hardhead most of the leftists love to ignore the context to spin their narrative. His whole argument was people are going to die but its better for us to have guns to be able to protect themselves inspite of that.Again, that's kinda the point. If he thinks literally any unhinged internet troll of whatever political or apolitical, religious etc ideology should have free and unregulated access to pretty much any weapons they want then this is just the system working as intended. 1 in 100 may well be an unhinged idiot itching fir murder, if you give all 100 of those people easy access to guns then he gets one too and it can only be presumed he'll use it like an unhinged idiot would. So yeah, if that's what he stood for, and he clearly did, then Charlie Kirk dying by the hand of a retard memelord is just pure ironic comedy.
>>1440975The fact that they're trying to make it hate speech to make fun of him is also darkly ironic given his direct, clear stance on the matter.
>>1440904this
>>1440978What I love most is that they think this is a win for the right. But once the pendulum swings, they're just giving the actual radical leftis all the rope they need to literally toss people in jail or axe their careers if they mutter nigger, faggot or tranny at the wrong time.
>>1440981>they're just giving the actual radical leftis all the rope they need to literally toss people in jail or axe their careers if they mutter nigger, faggot or tranny at the wrong time.Y'all already did that.
>>1440982If that were true, Kirk would have been in jail instead of at a college event.
>>1440984Y'all threw a kid in jail for a twitter meme and thousands of people lost jobs because of things they said. Its ridiculous to argue that cancel culture was not a thing. So no, the "but the left will cancel you MORE" is not a compelling argument.
>>1440982I wouldn't be able to call you a nigger faggot if that was the case. Nigger faggot.
>>1440986Yeah, but you would get fired for posting something as milquetoast as "all lives matter".
>>1440985>So no, the "but the left will cancel you MORE" is not a compelling argument.It's not an argument, it's a warning along with a giggle. You have no idea what real government censorship feels like, but it's coming and your tears will be even more delicious then.
>>1440989Yeah, we know.
>>1440991Cool beans. Keep whipping up the rhetoric and calling people who make fun of Kirk being shot by a retarded internet troll to be fired and punished by the government. What a wonderful time to be alive!
>>1440994>Keep whipping up the rhetoric and calling people who make fun of Kirk being shot by a retarded internet troll to be fired and punished by the government.Thats the plan.
>>1440243Who the absolute fuck would know Charlie Kirk's favorite Starbucks drink besides some MAGA dipshit?
>>1440995>Thats the plan.Ruh rohhttps://www.nbcnews.com/business/media/jimmy-kimmel-abc-return-tuesday-rcna232335Apparently canceling people for shitty reasons doesn't stick.Cue MAGA whining
>>1441005Can't even cancel a man properly. They should go back to pretending they hate cancel culture. Less hypocrisy even if they have to seethe in private.
>>1440996the right wing mind cannot understand that someone might not obsessed with culture war minutiae
>>1441005Someone probably realized how much money this was going to cost ABCDisney and that a Kimmel tied to a network TV show is far easier to control than a Kimmel let loose on Youtube, TikTok or whatever he chose to do. I know if I was Kimmel in this position, no fucking way would I go back to.ABC. This is an easy win handed on a platter.
>>1441019They fucked themselves twice since now both sides will blame them for capitulating. Kimmel should just double down.
>>1441020Knowing Kimmel, and I don't say this as a fan, I assume that's exactly what he'll do. We shall see though. This whole thing is so absurditist. A blowhard who made his name by being the loudest bigot possible triggers an unhinged internet meme-tard to kill him. Then a hack comedian makes barely even a lame joke and everyone on all sides totally lose thier shit. It's like all of America has turned into an autistic toddler that just keeps hitting itself and crying more and more about how they can't stop. It's sad, but at the same time holy hot fuck is it funny.
>>1441005>ABCNexstar and Sinclair havent changed their minds. >>1441019How was it going to cost them money?
>>1441035>How was it going to cost them money?Disney stock plummeted when people reacted to their favorite hack late night comic being suspended for making a lame joke. The only thing any of these "people" care about is stock numbers. That's it. If Kimmel being shot by a firing squad made thier stock go up, they'd do that. If Kimmel getting a transgender chimpanzee made their stock go up, they'd do that. They don't care or have morals. Money money money. The best irony is that most of them claim to be Christian, but like Kirk most Christians don't pay any attention to the actual words of their savior, the son of the Creator of the Universe. Luke 14:33 - In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.Luke 16:13 - “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”Matthew 19-21 - Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”Luke 18-22 - When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”Mark 10:22 - And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22 Disheartened by the saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.Charlie Kirk was a rich fuck. Let alone all the stuff ge said about promoting violence, if the God he worshipped is real, he is currently burning in Hell and Jesus wants nothing to do with him.
