The Oklahoma police chief who blasted Starbucks after one of his officers received an order labeled “PIG” has met with the coffee chain to urge them to rehire the barista fired over the scandal, according to a report.
Kiefer Police Chief Johnny O’Mara said Tuesday that he met with Starbucks officials and “requested the young employee who was terminated be offered a position of employment,” news station KTUL reported.
“We start civility by forgiving minor indiscretions and using those moments to help people better themselves,” O’Mara said in a statement.
The Starbucks controversy began on Thanksgiving when one of O”Mara’s colleagues made a coffee run and came back with five orders labeled “PIG.”
O’Mara wrote in a Facebook post that has now gone viral that he was dismayed by the customer service.
“What irks me is the absolute and total disrespect for a police officer who, instead of being home with family and enjoying a meal and a football game, is patrolling his little town,” O’Mara wrote.
Starbucks apologized and issued a statement saying the employee “who wrote this offensive word on a cup used poor judgment and is no longer a partner after this violation of company policy.”
The location’s manager, who identified herself as Lola Price, also came forward, claiming she’d been fired in connection to the incident, despite not writing the labels on the cups, KTUL reported.
It’s unclear whether O’Mara urged the company to also have mercy on Price.
O’Mara said Tuesday that his department and Starbucks are “committed to using this regrettable incident as an opportunity to leverage our shared platforms to promote greater civility.”
The police chief faced his own controversy when a woman claiming to be his daughter said he “absolutely” is a pig.
