Starbucks Barista Puts Racial Slur On Hispanic Man's Cup

This happened in La Cañada, California - a suburb of Los Angeles. A man named Peter received his iced coffee drink with a label that said "BEANER." 

A friend said Peter is sad about the situation.

The store's manager did not talk to the local news but Starbucks issued a statement saying, "This is not indicative of the type of experience we want our customers to have when they walk into our stores. 

We have apologized to the customer directly and are working to make things right."

This incident comes ahead of mandatory racial bias training at all Starbucks nationwide. 

The training was scheduled after an incident in Philadelphia where two black men were arrested at a Starbucks while waiting for a business meeting.
