#TrumpCup protest against Starbucks latest controversy for coffee giant

“Over the years, writing customer names on cups and calling out their names has been a fun ritual in our stores. Rarely has it been abused or taken advantage of,” Starbucks said in a statement. “We hope and trust that our customers will continue to honor that tradition. We don’t require our partners to write or call out names.”

A customer later identified as David Sanguesa said he had an argument Thursday with a barista who wouldn’t write “Trump” on his cup, and resorted calling the action anti-white “discrimination.” The incident was shared on social media, and picked up by Twitter user Baked Alaska, who encouraged the hashtag #TrumpCup.
