It was not a good holiday for two employees in separate cases of workplace mistakes.

From KTUL in Tulsa, Oklahoma: "Starbucks says they fired a barista who printed "PIG" on five coffee cups ordered by a police officer on Thanksgiving. The police chief at Kiefer Police Department, a community just outside Tulsa, said the officer was picking up drinks for their dispatchers as a "thank you" for their hard work. Starbucks and the barista who printed the label reached out to the Kiefer Police Department and apologized for the incident."

Separately, Newsweek reports it fired a reporter whose name was on a story that falsely said President Trump spent Thanksgiving "tweeting and golfing" when he was actually in Afghanistan serving up dinner to U.S. troops and speaking with them.

    Not buying it! Liberals rarely fire anyone with anti-police and anti-republican comments or actions. Smoke and mirrors!

    Not surprising at all Newsweek runs stories without any fact checking. I suggest they change their name to Newstweak, as any given story is likely to contain falsehoods. Starbucks has a culture that allows employees to feel empowered to express personal opinion on company time. Continual corporate apology is meaningless at this point.

    We all make our own choices in life and actions have consequences, if more people (Snowflakes, Antifa, Politicians, etc.) learned this lesson America might be a better nation..
