We’re
veterans
who
were
treated
in
a
most
disrespectful
manner
on
Veterans
Day
at
the
Danada
Square
Starbucks.
We
simply
asked
the
attendant
for
the
free
veterans’
coffee.
She
had
us
to
repeat
our
request
several
times
and
pretended
she
didn’t
understand
our
order.
She
then
told
us
our
total
for
the
free
coffee
would
be
over
$7.
At
this
point
we
requested
the
manager.
As
we
explained
we
were
ordering
the
veterans
free
coffee
and
we
were
given
a
hard
time,
the
manager
raised
his
voice
in
defense
of
the
attendant
saying
she
is
new.
We
didn’t
buy
it
and
we
truly
believe
something
else
had
come
into
play.
We
were
not
being
confrontational
and
we
believe
requesting
to
speak
with
him
was
appropriate.
As
I
explained
to
the
manager,
free
coffee
for
Veterans
Day
is
self-explanatory
and
it’s
not
on
Starbucks’
menu.
He
yelled
“I’m
a
veteran,
too.”
We’re
clueless
as
to
why
this
needed
to
be
said.
In
conclusion,
we
should
have
received
an
apology
and
the
manager
should
have
completed
our
order
instead
of
raising
his
voice
and
speaking
with
us
in
an
irritated
tone.
The
attendant
attempted
to
hand
us
the
coffee.
For
personal
reasons,
we
declined.
ALL
veterans
should
be
treated
in
a
most
respectful
manner.
We’re
not
discouraged.
We
plan
to
return
next
year
with
more
veterans
who
look
just
like
us.
