Former Starbucks manager says she was wrongfully fired after coffee cup controversy

Lola Price, a manager at a Starbucks near Tulsa, was fired after five cups with the word “PIG" printed on them were handed to a police officer.

She told Tulsa's KTUL she was called Thursday evening by her supervisors.

"Just still kind of in shock about it all," Price said.

She told Tulsa's Channel 8 her life has been wrecked since then.
"I was terminated from my position because, Starbucks was looking for someone to take the blame for this and to save some face from their company," she said.

The label on the coffee cup has the time and register number on it, as well as the "name" of customer...not too hard to figure out which employee did it..

And her stupidity is why she was a coffee manager. How do you go down in your "career" from that?

Ultimately she is responsible for what goes on under her leadership. I wonder what her track record was. Maybe this incident gave fartbucks the reason they needed to finally get rid of her.
