In Starbucks overseas, the style is often called when the clerk receives an order, writing the name of the orderer in the cup and handing the product. In Starbucks, Philadelphia, USA, the name of the terrorist organization ' ISIS ' was written in the cup of Muslim customers, and it is reported that the male man is considering legal measures.

Philadelphia resident Niquel Johnson ordered 3 drinks at Starbucks on Sunday 25 August 2019 and named himself his own Islamic name 'Aziz'. Johnson has been using the name Aziz for 25 years, and he has visited Starbucks in trouble many times.

The name Aziz is usually called when receiving goods, but Johnson said that for some reason a drink type was called instead of a name. And the received cup was not named Aziz, but the letter “ISIS” meaning terrorist organization was written.

The following is a Starbucks cup actually taken by Johnson.



Johnson didn't realize the name at all, and when he took out his drink and entered the bookstore, he first noticed it when he was pointed out by a friend. “I was shocked and angry. I felt I was discriminated,” Johnson says.

When Johnson posted about this event on SNS, the information was spread quickly. Many of the similar cases end here, but Johnson still continues. Four days after the event, Mr. Johnson contacted Starbucks saying 'The problem was solved by talking with Mr. Johnson of Alora,' but Johnson said there was no name of Alora. about.

According to Reggie Borges, a Starbucks spokesperson, “After our investigation, we believe this is not a discrimination or crime. Barista incorrectly wrote the name Aziz that our customers said. I contacted him and apologized for this mistake. ' However, there is no fact that Starbucks announced that “I apologized for the name Alora”, and there is no evidence of an exchange made over the telephone of apology.

Later, Brian Dragone, who oversees Philadelphia in Starbucks, contacted me, and Johnson told me that “the name is not Alora” and “the real niece is too young to speak.” Dragone explained to Johnson, “I do n’t know why this happened.” However, despite having written 'Aziz' in the complaint email that Johnson sent to Starbucks, Dragone misunderstood Aziz as 'Azese' at the time of the apology call.

In addition to one name mistake, Johnson seems to be uncomfortable, including the subsequent response. Johnson thinks that the information on the Starbucks side was created by the staff, “I ca n’t solve the problem with a simple apology at this point. I feel discriminated. But there is no apology that seems to be an apology. '

In Philadelphia's Starbucks, a black man who had asked me to use the toilet in the past was reported and the police were arrested. At that time, Starbucks was teaching 8,000 unemployed employees about “unconscious prejudice,” and one of Johnson's cases seems to be neglected.
